  • Wellbore history
    General
    Well 25/8-10 S is located north of the Grane Field. The well was drilled and tested to obtain representative fluid samples, production characteristics, and reservoir permeabilities in the Forseti Prospect in the Hermod - Middle Heimdal formation.
    Operations and results
    Exploration well 25/8-10 S was spudded with semi-submersible drilling installation "Deepsea Trym" on 29 April 1997 and drilled to TD at 1749.5 m in the Late Paleocene Lista Formation. The original 25/8-10 S well was drilled with a slightly deviated profile (+/- 6 degree maximum angle) to a depth of 1749 m MD RKB. Due to a mechanical problem, which occurred after coring at 1722-1749 m, the well was plugged back and a technical sidetrack (25/8-10S T2) was kicked off at 1076 m and drilled to the original geologic objective at a total depth of 1890 m in the Early Paleocene Ekofisk Formation. Well 25/8-10 S was drilled with seawater and bentonite sweeps down to 1091 m and with oil based "Ancovert" mud from 1091 m to TD. The technical sidetrack 25/810 S T2 was drilled with oil based with "Ancovert" mud. The sidetrack penetrated 18 m (net pay) of oil filled sand in the Hermod - Middle Heimdal formation with an OWC, based on logs, at 1755.5 m TVD SS. The pay zone consisted of three sand intervals. One core was cut in the 25/8-10 S wellbore in the interval 1722 m to 1749.65 m (Sele, Hermod, and Lista Formations). A second core was cut in the 25/8-10 S T2 sidetrack in the interval 1749 m to 1786 m. (Lista and Heimdal Formations). After wire line logging the 25/8-10S T2 well a drill stem test of the upper sand interval, in the Hermod Formation, was performed. Fluid samples were taken during the DST. The well was permanently abandoned on 5 June 1997 as an oil and gas discovery, named the 25/8-10 S Ringhorne Discovery.
    Testing
    The interval from 1727.0 m to 1740.5 m (1698.6 - 1711.9 m TVD SS) in the Hermod Formation was perforated. The test showed an unconsolidated reservoir with high porosity. The GOR at rate 445 Sm3 fluid/day increased roughly from 45 Sm3/Sm3 to 90 Sm3/Sm3 as the wellhead pressure increased from 600 to 800 psia. This was considered consistent with the presence of a gas cap.

    Pressure plots
    The pore pressure data is sourced from well logs if no other source is specified. In some wells where pore pressure logs do not exist, information from Drill stem tests and kicks have been used. The data has been reported to the NPD, and further processed and quality controlled by IHS Markit.
