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.

Well 6507/5-6 S was drilled from the Skarv A template on the Revfall Fault Complex in the Norwegian Sea.
The objective of the well was to prove gas in Late Cretaceous reservoir rocks (the Lysing formation) in the Snadd North prospect. It was drilled primarily for data acquisition to identify the presence and producability of theLysing reservoir, with the well path planned for optimal data recovery, but the well was also planned to be used as a producer.
Operations and results
Exploration well 6507/5-6 S was spudded with the semi-submersible installation Borgny Dolphin on 12 January 2010.
The well was drilled as the fourth well in the batch drilling operations for the 17 1/2" and 12 1/4" sections on the Skarv Atemplate. Initially the well was drilled to 4454 m. Then, due to hole instability and operational problems, the well was plugged back and sidetracked from 2346.4 m after a core was taken in the reservoir. Reservoir logs aretherefore primarily taken in the sidetrack T2. Final TD was reached at 4991 m (2906.7 m TVD) in Late Turonian age claystone in the Lange Formation. The well was drilled with seawater and hi-vis pills down to 1122 m and with Carbosea oil based mud from 1129 m to TD in both the main and sidetrack well bores.
The Lysing Formation was encountered at 4676 m ( 2798 m TVD). Good quality hydrocarbon-bearing sandstones were discovered. A total thickness of 32 m TVD of Lysing sandstone was drilled, with net/gross of 0.88 and average effective porosity of 0.21. The sandstones in the core were of mixed quality, predominantly medium-fine grained and hydrocarbon-stained. The reservoir was hydrocarbon bearing throughout. No oil shows were reported from the well.
One 18 m core was cut in Lysing Formation sandstone from 4436 m to 4454 m, in the main bore 6507/5-6 S. Gas condensate samples were taken with the RCI tool at 4737 m and at 4710.5 m in the sidetrack well bore.
The well was permanently abandoned on 8 June 2010 as a gas discovery.
Testing
No drill stem test was performed.
Reclassification
On 13 October 2017 the well was reclassified as an appraisal well for the discovery "6507/5-3 SNADD" from 2000.
