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.

Well 35/9-11 A is a sidetrack to well 35/9-11 S. The well bores were drilled on the northern tip of the Ryggsteinen Ridge, west of the Gjøa Field. The two well bores had the same general objective: to appraise the 35/9-6 Titan Discovery. The 35/9-11 S well verified the Titan discovery. This initiated 35/9-11 A to perform data acquisition including coring, pressure measurement and fluid sampling.
Operations and results
Appraisal well 35/9-11 A was kicked off at 3065 m in 35/9-11 S on 15 April 2014. It was drilled with the semi-submersible installation Leiv Eiriksson to TD at 3860 m in the Early Jurassic Statfjord Group. The sidetrack well was drilled parallel to the primary well bore at a distance ca 25 m from the primary well bore. No significant problem was encountered in the operations. The well was drilled with Glydril mud from kick-off to TD.
A 21 m thick sequence of Callovian sandstones was penetrated from 3270 m to 3291. These sandstones were absent in 33/9-11 S, just 25 m away. The rest of the Jurassic reservoir targets were also present in well 35/9-11 A. According to the petrophysical evaluation, hydrocarbons were proven in six different stratigraphic levels (Callovian-, Tarbert-, Etive-, Cook-, Johansen- and Statfjord-Formation).
The data acquisition in 35/9-11 A included MWD/LWD, 11 wireline runs including formation pressure/fluid sampling and 5 coring runs with a total recovery 83.6 m. Three cores were cut in the Tarbert Formation from 3440 to 3454 m; these should be shifted + 3.0 m to match the wire line logs. One core was cut in the Etive/Rannoch formations from 3497 to 3527 m; this core should be shifted +2.9 m to match the logs. One core was cut in in the Cook Formation from 3625 to 3667 m; this core should be shifted + 3.8 m to match the logs. The fluid samples were taken at 3272.5 m (oil with GOR ~250 Sm3/Sm3), 3469.5 m (oil with GOR ~500 Sm3/Sm3), 3495 m (oil with GOR ~600 Sm3/Sm3), 3637.8 m (oil with oil with GOR ~300 Sm3/Sm3), 3692.2 m (water), 3820.48 (mud), and 3822.2 m (water and mud).
The well was permanently abandoned on 21 May 2014 as an oil and gas appraisal well.
