Drilling the Ø area - result

Explaining the data that was streamed during drilling

Interpretation

2.5 meters of oil left in the attic in the Ø area.

Residual oil indicated by higher resistivity between the original oil-water contact and the local present one.

Oil produced today on Draugen is a mix of:

  • residual oil in the water flooded reservoir
  • remaining oil pockets in top of reservoir

Additional reserves:

  • undrained areas in the periphery of the field
  • oil trapped in larger attic areas
  • exploration targets in the vicinity of Draugen
