  • Wellbore history
    General
    Well 16/1-21 A is a geological sidetrack to well 16/1-21 S. It was drilled to appraise the 16/1-9 Ivar Aasen discovery on the Gungne Terrace in the North Sea. The objective was to obtain key depth and reservoir information for field development in the eastern part of the Ivar Aasen Discovery. The targets were reservoirs in the Hugin/Sleipner and Skagerrak Formations.
    Operations and results
    Wildcat well 16/1-21 A was kicked off on 3 March 2015, from the main well 16/1-21 S with an open hole kick off below the 13 3/8" casing shoe at 1317 m. The well was drilled with the jack-up installation Mærsk Innovator to TD at 3313 m (2517 m TVD) in the Triassic Hegre Group. Due to severe losses when drilling the 12 1/4" section at 2951 m a cement plug was set and the 9 5/8" liner was run with shoe depth at 2796 m. The well was drilled with Versatec oil based mud from kick-off to TD.
    The well penetrated a 6.3 m net sand in the Sleipner Formation above the Skagerrak formation. The reservoir quality in the sand is very good with an average porosity in the net sand of 24 percent. The sand contains gas-condensate and oil. A gas oil contact is interpreted to be at 3192.0 m (2408.0 m TVD).
    The underlying Skagerrak reservoir is oil filled and the net sand interval above the Alluvial Fan is 20.3 meters. The average porosity in the net intervals is 23 percent in Skagerrak 2 and 21 percent in Skagerrak 1. The formation pressures in 16/1-21 A indicated a contact at 3273.9 m (2481.6 m TVD) in Skagerrak Alluvial Fan. However, the pressures in this very calcite cemented part of Skagerrak Formation is about 0.6 bar higher than in the oil-filled Skagerrak above, and the actual contact is not resolved. The deepest oil sample is from 3221.1 m.
    Oil shows were recorded on cores from 3183 m, in the Sleipner Formation. Shows were visible throughout the cored sections with a weakening trend towards the lowermost part of core 3 in the Skagerrak Formation. No shows are described below base of core 3 at 3234 m.
    Three cores were cut from 3174 m in the Heather Formation, through the Sleipner Formation and down to 3235.8 m in the Triassic Skagerrak Formation. The core recovery varied from 92.7% to 99.0 %. The core to log shift is reported to vary between +2.0 m to +3.0 m in different sections of the cores. MDT fluid samples were taken at 3191.03 m (gas-condensate), 3193.44 m (oil), 3195.53 m (oil), 3208.93 m (oil), and 3221.1 m (oil).
    The well was permanently abandoned on 20 April 2015 as a dry well.
    Testing
    No drill stem test was performed.
