Drilling Activity Summary
Description
OMV Norge, operator of production license PL 644, has completed appraisal well #6506/11-11 S on the #6506/11-10 (Iris) gas/condensate discovery. The well encountered a 70-m gas column in Garn with about 50 m of sandstone with reservoir properties varying from poor-to-good with no gas/water contact. Multiple sandstone layers totaling about 55 m were encountered with moderate-to-good reservoir quality. The primary objective was to delineate the gas/condensate discovery in Garn toward the southwest and determine if there is petroleum in reservoir rocks in the underlying Middle Jurassic Ile. During the Garn test, the well had a maximum flow rate of 1.6 MMcm of gas and 883 cu m of condensate. Preliminary estimates indicate that Garn holds 4-12 MMcm of recoverable oil equivalents. The appraisal was drilled to 4,433 m and was terminated in Ror in the Lower-to-Middle Jurassic. Area water depth is 382 m. OMV is based in Vienna.
