Faroe Completes Sidetrack At North Sea-Fogelberg Discovery
Drilling Activity Details
Drilling Activity Summary
Description
Faroe Petroleum completed a sidetrack well, #6506/9-4A, and a successful drillstem test on downdip appraisal well #6506/9-4S on the Fogelberg discovery in the Norwegian Sea. The sidetrack well penetrated a 58 m (gross) hydrocarbon-bearing and sand-rich reservoir in Garn and 87 m (gross) hydrocarbon-bearing zone in the Ile reservoir. The well flowed of 21 MMcf per day of gas and 547 bbl per day of condensate during a drillstem test. Fluid sampling during the drillstem test confirmed both high-quality gas and condensate. The preliminary analysis suggests a resource range of 40-90 MMboe (gross). The sidetrack was drilled to 4,497 m and was targeting the gas- and condensate-bearing Middle Jurassic Garn and Ile to assess the productivity of Garn and to firm up the resource range for a commercial development. The appraisal well will now be plugged and abandoned as planned. Faroe is based in Aberdeen.
