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.

Wellbore history
GeneralWell 34/10-34 discovered oil in the Middle Jurassic Tarbert Formation in 1991. The well was suspended as a possible future producer. In 1993 the discovery, called Gullfaks Vest, was included in the larger Gullfaks Field and production from the Gullfaks B platform was initiated. The objective of the re-entry 34/10-34 R was plugging and permanent abandonment.Operations and resultsWell R4/10-34 was re-entered (34/10-34 R) with the semi-submersible installation Transocean Wildcat on 6 October 2001.The well was plugged and permanently abandoned on 16 October 2001.TestingNo drill stem test was performed
