General

Well 16/3-1 was drilled on the Utsira High in the North Sea. The objectives were to investigate Paleocene sand pinch out, the weathered top of the Cretaceous chalk and Jurassic sandstone.

Operations and results

Wildcat well 16/3-1 was spudded with the semi-submersible installation Polyglomar Driller on 31 January 1976 and drilled to TD at 453 m in Pliocene sediments. The well was drilled with seawater and gel.

Due to progressive tilting of the BOP stack the well was junked and abandoned 10 days later, on 10 February 1976.

Testing

No drill stem test was performed
