E.ON operated well 6507/6-4 is currently being permanently plugged and abandoned.
The well design included two well bores and tested the Triassic Sindbad and the Permian Sesam prospects.
Sindbad (well 6507/6-4 S) tested a seismic AVO anomaly. The objective reservoir was found with the predicted properties, but unfortunately the well was dry.
Sesam (well 6507/6-4 A) did not encounter the predicted reservoir quality.
The well plan and its execution has been a technical success, even when considering the extreme seasonal weather conditions, design complexity and environmental constraints.
“All operations have been conducted with a high level of safety performance at all times.
This technical result further demonstrates E.ON’s proven capability and approach to undertake demanding drilling projects on the Norwegian Continental Shelf”, says Jan Andreassen Drilling Manager at E.ON.
The well was the first drilled in PL350, and is the result of a long and very good cooperation between Statoil, PGNiG and E.ON.
“ Our track record in terms of discovering oil and gas fields in Norway is a very good one, but unfortunately Sesam was dry. E.ON Norge holds a large portfolio of exploration licenses in Norway. In the last license round the company was awarded four operatorships. The focus is now on evaluating the licenses to confirm possible exploration well targets to be drilled in 2012 and beyond. In terms of this year we will participate in at least 2 exploration wells and operate extensive 2D/3D seismic programs”, says Haakon Haaland, Managing Director.
