General

Exploration well 34/2-1 is located a northwestern part of the Tampen Spur area. It was intended to be the first well to test the reflections below the Base Cretaceous (Kimmeridgian) Unconformity on a seismically defined, northerly trending west-northwest dipping fault block. The well was located near the apex of the structure at the Base Cretaceous level, but down-dip with respect to deeper stratigraphy. Primary targets were the Middle Jurassic Brent Formation and the Early Jurassic/Triassic Statfjord Formation. Secondary targets were possible Early Tertiary and Late Jurassic sandstones. Planned TD was 4300 m Sub Sea.

Operations and results

Wildcat well 34/2-1 was spudded with the semi-submersible installation Byford Dolphin on 29 December 1979. Due to problems with the guide line and instability of the temporary guide base three unsuccessful spuds were made before a successful spud was made on 23 January 1980. The well was drilled to TD at 807 meters in the Tertiary. Being unable to latch the BOP onto the 20-inch wellhead, 34/2-1 was permanently abandoned on 23 February 1980 as a junked well. A total of 68 days was spent on the well.

Testing

No drill stem test was performed.
