Drilling Activity Details
Drilling Activity Summary
Description
Equinor announced results from a wildcat, #35/11-22S, in production license PL 248 C. The venture was designed to prove oil in Middle-to-Lower Jurassic reservoir rocks (the Brent Group and Cook Formation). It was drilled to 3,882 m and area water depth is 363 m. The secondary exploration target was to prove oil in the Statfjord Group in Lower Jurassic. In the Middle-to-Lower Jurassic reservoir, the well encountered 190 m in Brent Group with 90 m of effective reservoir rocks with moderate reservoir quality. The thickness of Cook is about 70 m, of which 50 m of effective reservoir rocks with poor-to-moderate reservoir quality. The secondary exploration target in the Statfjord group has a thickness of about 130 m, with 60 m of aquiferous reservoir rocks. The well also hit a 30-m sandstone-dominated unit in Heather in the Middle-to-Upper Jurassic, with 15 m of effective reservoir rocks, mainly with moderate reservoir quality. No oil/water contact was encountered. Equinor is based in Stavanger.
