Status
Status for the wellbore. Legal values are:
BLOWOUT: A blowout has occurred in the well.
CLOSED: A development wellbore that has been closed in a shorter or longer periode. Also applies to development wellbores where drilling is completed, but production/injection has not yet been reported.
DRILLING: The well is in the drilling phase - can be active drilling, logging, testing or plugging,
JUNKED: The drilling operation has been terminated due to technical problems.
P&A: Exploration: The well is plugged and abandoned, and can not be reentered for further use. Development wells: The production/injection from/to the well is stopped and the well is plugged. The wellhead is removed or else made unavailable for further well operations.
PLUGGED: The wellbore has been plugged, but the upper parts of the wellbore can be re-used. A sidetrack might be drilled at a later stage.
PRODUCING: It was produced from the wellbore at the time of the operators last monthly report to the Norwegian Offshore Directorate.
INJECTING: It was injected to the wellbore at the time of the operators last monthly report to the Norwegian Offshore Directorate.
PREDRILLED: The upper part of the well has been drilled, usually as part of a batch-drilling campaign covering several wellbores.
RE-CLASS TO DEV: Exploration wellbore that is reclassified to a development wellbore.
RE-CLASS TO TEST: Exploration wellbore that is reclassified to test production.
SUSPENDED: The drilling operation in the wellbore has been temporarily stopped. The current plan is to continue drilling later on.
Name of the licensee starting the drilling operation on behalf of the active production license (well head position). This will usually equal the operator of the production license.

For floating facilities - date when anchor handling is started. For jackups - date the jacking-down started.
Exploration wellbores from fixed facilities and all development wellbores:
Date when the wellbore is at total depth, and last casing, liner or screen is set. In case of immediate plugging of the wellbore, completed date equals the date the last plug i set in the wellbore.

Release date
Date when raw data which has been reported to the authorities from the wellbore is not confidential any longer. Normally 2 years after finishing the drilling. May be earlier if the area of the production license is relinquished.
12.09.1983
Publication date
Date quality control of the wellbore information was completed, so it can be published on the internet as a 'Well Data Summary Sheet' wellbore with more information available than other wellbores.

Purpose - planned
Pre-drill purpose of the wellbore. Legal values for exploration wellbores: WILDCAT, APPRAISAL, WILDCAT-CCS, APPRAISAL-CCS. Example of legal values for development wellbores: OBSERVATION, PRODUCTION, INJECTION.
WILDCAT
Reentry
Status whether the wellbore has been re-entered (YES) or not (NO). Re-entered wellbores are not included in the count when wellbores are presented in statistical overviews.

Content
For exploration wellbores, status of discovery.
Legal values:
DRY, SHOWS (trace amounts of hydrocarbons), GAS, GAS/CONDENSATE, OIL or OIL/GAS.
SHOWS (GAS SHOWS, OIL SHOWS or OIL/GAS SHOWS) are detected as fluorescent cut (organic extract), petroleum odour, or visual stain on cuttings or cores, or as increased gas reading on the mud-loggers gas detection equipment. Legal values for WILDCAT-CCS and APPRAISAL-CCS: WATER

Well 34/10-12 was drilled on Tampen Spur in the North Sea close to the western side of the Gullfaks Fault Block. The primary objective of the well was to test sandstones of Middle Jurassic age. Secondary objectives were sandstones of Early Jurassic age.
Operations and results
Wildcat well 34/10-12 was spudded with the semi-submersible installation Neptuno Nordraug on 16 July 1981 and drilled to TD at 2800 m in the Early Jurassic Statfjord Group. The well was drilled with seawater and prehydrated Gel pills down to 298 m and with gel/lignosulphonate mud from 298 m to TD.
The sandstones of both Middle and Early Jurassic age were water saturated. Shows were recorded on cuttings from claystones, limestone and occasional thin sandstones from 1260 m in the Hordaland Group to 1657 m in the Balder Formation. The Jurassic had only trace fluorescence in sandstone cuttings at 2094 to 2110 m in the Ness Formation, otherwise no trace of hydrocarbons were seen.
One core was cut from 2037 m to 2042.7 m in the Ness Formation. No wire line fluid samples were taken.
The well was permanently abandoned on 12 September as a dry well.
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.
