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.

Well 6608/10-14S was drilled on the Fossekall prospect on the Dønna terrace in the Norwegian Sea. The well is located 8 km north of the Svale field and 15 km northeast of the Norne field. The objective was to prove hydrocarbon bearing sands in the Ile, Tofte and Åre formations (Fangst and Båt Group) of Middle - Early Jurassic age in the Fossekall prospect and to establish fluid contacts.
Operations and results
Wildcat well 6608/10-14S was spudded with the semi-submersible installation Ocean Vanguard on 22 February 2010 and drilled to TD at 2880 m (2771 m TVD). The well was designed as a vertical well down to the 12 1/4" hole section at 1332.5 m and then directionally drilled from the 12 1/4 section to hit the geological target at a ca 30 deg angle, holding this inclination to TD of the well. No significant problem was encountered in the operations. No shallow gas observed. The well was drilled with Seawater and CaCl2/Polymer down to 1332.5 m and with "yellow" Enviromul oil based mud from 1332.5 m to TD.
The well penetrated a 6 m thick Spekk Formation at 2375 m on top of the Melke Formation at 2381 m. There were two main reservoir levels in Fossekall; Melke Formation of Late Jurassic age and in the Ile, Tofte and Åre Formations of Middle to Early Jurassic age. The two reservoir levels are separated by the Not Shale. Gas was observed in Intra- Melke Formation sandstone from 2433 m (2380.1 m TVD) to 2504 m (2441.5 m TVD), while oil was present in sandstones from top Ile Formation at 2549.2 m (2480.9 m) and down through the Tofte and Åre Formations. MDT sampling and fluid scanning found water up to 2714 m (2623.9 m TVD), while the logs and shows on cores indicate moveable oil down to a thin sand at 2704.5 m (2616 m TVD). Oil shows (cut fluorescence) continued down to 2731.5 m, otherwise no shows were recorded outside of the oil and gas reservoirs. Pressure data showed that the Melke gas and the Ile/Tofte/Åre were in different pressure regimes.
Five cores were cut, one in the Melke Formation, one in the Ile/Tofte/Åre formations, and three in the Åre Formation. Sixteen oil samples were taken with MDT at depths 2549.9, 2567.9, 2568.1, 2692.4, and 2704.6, m (Tofte and Åre formations); three gas samples at 2448.5 m (Melke Formation); and three water samples at 2725.9 m (Åre Formation). The samples were of good quality, except for high mud filtrate contamination in one gas sample.
The well was permanently abandoned on 1 April 2010 as an oil and gas discovery.
