Description: The Ogna prospect is located in the Norwegian Danish basin, some 50 kms to the east of the main Central Graben area. The prospect is a faulted anticline developed above a salt controlled high. The main target interval is the Upper and Middle Jurassic sand prone sequence, with secondary targets in the underlying Triassic and the overlying Cretaceous and Palaeocene. The principal uncertainties concern the presence and maturity of a suitable source rock and the reservoir quality of the target horizons. The closest existing infrastructure is the producing Ula field, some 70 kms to the southwest. However, Ogna is in relatively shallow-water (60-70m) and therefore could be a stand-alone development.
Result: The primary reservoir, of Jurassic age, showed poor reservoir quality. The well encountered no hydrocarbons and is being plugged and abandoned as a dry hole. |
