54 metre gross oil column in Upper and Middle Jurassic sandstone reservoir in an oil-down-to situation. Te well is located 2.2km south-east of well 16/2-8 in PL265 and 3.3km south-west of well 16/2-6, in PL501. A comprehensive logging and coring programme has been successfully completed as well as a production test (DST) in the previously untested Middle Jurassic reservoir. Te data from this first well in the 2012 PL501 appraisal programme confirmed good reservoir properties. Tis is in line with the earlier Johan Sverdrup wells where the Upper Jurassic reservoir was of excellent quality with a high net to gross ratio. Te well will now be side-tracked towards the east to investigate the lateral thickness and property variations of the Jurassic reservoir as well as to establish an oil water contact to investigate the possibility of a deeper oil-water-contact in this area. Te well will then be plugged and abandoned. Te total depth of the well is 2125 metres. Lundin Norway is the operator with 40 per cent
interest. Partners are Statoil Petroleum (40 per cent) and Maersk Oil Norway (20 per cent).
Blowout preventer Finally, Xcite Energy says that its Bentley phase 1A work programme is now at the blowout preventer installation stage.
Te work programme has two main objectives. Firstly, the 9/03b-7 and 7Z wells are planned to demonstrate the mechanical and operational aspects of the drilling, completion and flowing of the proposed well design for Phase 1B. Te 9/03b-7Z well is planned to be used in Phase 1B as the first full production wellbore. Secondly, to collect additional reservoir and production data to improve the calibration of the reservoir model, including data with respect to enhanced oil recovery techniques. Tis data will be used to further increase the certainty with respect to the longer term oil, gas and water production profiles and recoverable reserves from the Bentley field. Te Phase 1A work programme involves a number of key operations, including drilling of a horizontal motherbore well in the geological formation immediately overlying the reservoir; and drilling of the toe extension well (9/03b-7 well), being a horizontal wellbore from the toe of the motherbore, with a reservoir section of up to 2400 feet in length. Te 9/03b-7 wellbore is planned to recover a minimum cumulative volume of 45,000 barrels of oil during the flow test period to help ensure that the data gathering will be as effective as possible. Tis flow test is planned to be up to 90 days in length and to be conducted at a range of different flow rates, again to assist in the data gathering programme. ●
