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 7122/7-7 S was drilled as an appraisal well on the western segment of the Goliat field on the south-east margin of the Hammerfest Basin in the Barents Sea. The Goliat Field produces hydrocarbons from the Realgrunnen Subgroup, the Snadd Formation, and the Kobbe Formation. Primary objective was to test the hydrocarbon bearing potential of the Tubåen and the Fruholmen formations of the Realgrunnen Subgroup. Secondary objective was the Snadd Formation.
Operations and results
An 8 1/2" pilot hole was drilled from seabed to 489 m due to shallow gas warning. No shallow gas was observed. Appraisal well 7122/7-7 S was spudded with the semi-submersible installation West Hercules on 28 November 2018 and drilled to TD at 1330 m (1272 m TVD) m in the Late Triassic Snadd Formation. Operations proceeded without significant problems. The well was drilled with seawater and hi-vis pills down to 615 m and with EMS 4600 oil-based mud from 615 m to TD.
The Tubåen Formation was found gas bearing from 1166 to 1172.5 m (1123,5 to 1132 m TVD) with an oil rim down to an ODT at 1177 m (1134 m TVD). The Fruholmen Formation held oil from 1196 m (1151 m TVD) to the OWC at 1224 m (1176 m TVD). The OWC in Fruholmen Formation is clearly defined by pressure points. The Snadd Formation was found water bearing with weak shows. The pressure data show it is likely that Tubåen and Fruholmen are hydraulically separated and that the Goliat West compartment drilled by this well is overpressured compared to the rest of the Goliat field. Shows in the Realgrunnen Subgroup were described as weak yellow direct fluorescence, slow poor streaming and moderate bluish white crush cut. Shows in the Snadd formation were described as patchy weak yellow direct fluorescence, slow poor streaming and poor bluish white crush cut. No shows were described above top Realgrunnen Subgroup.
No cores were cut. MDT fluid samples were taken at 1175.7 m (oil), 1197.5 m (oil) and 1245.5 m (water). PVT analysis of the oil samples gave a GOR in the range 64 to 69 Sm3/Sm3 and stock tank density in the range 0.862 to 0.865 g/cm3.
The well was permanently abandoned on 26 December 2018 as an oil and gas appraisal well.
