  • Wellbore history
    General
    Well 15/3-6 was drilled to test the Paleocene Balder and Hermod sandstones of the Pinnsvin prospect, and had a licence requirement to penetrate Cretaceous age formations. The well was drilled within licence PL 187 (Amoco Norway, Statoil, Norsk Hydro). License PL 025 farmed into the well (Statoil, Elf, Total, Hydro) for 20% of well costs.
    Operations and results
    Wildcat well 15/3-6 was spudded 15. December 1998 with the semi-submersible installation Mærsk Jutlander, and drilled to TD at 2793 m in the Late Cretaceous Shetland Group. The well was drilled with seawater and hi-vis pills down to 1018 m and oil based mud (Versavert) from 944 m to TD.
    The Intra Balder and Hermod sandstones were encountered as prognosed but the well was found to be completely water wet all through. A wire line fluid sample was taken at 2160 m in the Intra Balder Formation Sandstone. Two cores were cut in the interval 2140 m to 2176 m in the Balder Formation and Intra Balder Formation sandstones, and one was cut from 2278 m to 2297.7 m in the Hermod Formation Sandstone.
    The well was plugged and abandoned as a dry hole on 5 January 1999.
    Testing
    No drill stem test was performed

    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.
