Wildcat well 34/6-8 S was drilled in production licence 554, which was awarded in 2010 (Awards in pre-defined areas 2009).
The well was drilled about 4 kilometres northwest of the 34/6-5 S “Garantiana West” discovery (made in 2021) and about 120 kilometres west of Florø.
The objective of the well was to prove petroleum in reservoir rocks in the Cook Formation from the Early Jurassic.
The well encountered the Cook Formation with a vertical thickness of 105 metres, 53 metres of which was sandstone with moderate to good reservoir quality. The reservoir was aquiferous, and the well is classified as dry.
Well 34/6-8 S was drilled to respective vertical and measured depths of 4123 and 3984 metres below sea level, and was terminated in the Burton Formation from the Early Jurassic.
Water depth at the site is 386 metres. The well has been permanently plugged and abandoned.
