Det Norkse Oljeselskap has completed drilling on two appraisal wells on the Ivar Aasen field.
The wells drilled were 16/1-21 A and 16/1-21 S and both yielded valuable information as regards the final location of production and injection wells.
The wells were drilled to measured depths of 2630 and 3313 metres, respectively, and vertical depths of 2530 and 2463 metres below the sea surface.
Both have been terminated, plugged and abandoned and water depth at the site is 113 metres.
16/1-21 A encountered an oil column of encountered a total oil column of 41 metres and a 4-metre gas column, of which a total of 29 metres was of very good reservoir quality in the Sleipner and Skagerrak formations while 16/1-21 S encountered a total oil column of 54 metres, of which 25 metres were of good to very good reservoir quality in the Skagerrak formation.
The primary target for wells was to investigate reservoir rocks and reservoir quality, as well as the extent of an overlying gas cap in the eastern part of the field in Middle Jurassic to upper Triassic reservoir rocks.
The Ivar Aasen field is located in the central part of the North Sea and measures 24 million standard cubic metres (Sm3) in recoverable oil.
