The Badger Explorer is a revolutionary method to obtain subsurface data
for oil&gas exploration, mapping of hydrocarbon resources and long-term
surveillance.The Badger Explorer drills and buries underground, carrying a
unique package of logging and monitoring sensors, at a substantially lower
risk, cost and complexity of utilising an expensive drilling rig.
The tool penetrates the sea bed and the subsurface by using a mechanical drill
bit driven by an electrical motor to loosen and crush the formation ahead of the
tool. The crushed formation is transported through the device and deposited in
the void behind the tool. The tool carries an electrical cable, which is spooled
up inside the unit, connected to the surface and powers the electrical motors.
The same cable is used for continous transfer of data back to the surface.

IRIS - International Research Institute of Stavanger - is a recognised research
institute with high focus on applied research, equally owned by the University
of Stavanger and the regional foundation Rogalandsforskning. IRIS was
established in 2006, as a result of a technical re-structuring of the ownership of
Rogaland Research.
Rogaland Research was established in 1973, and the continuation of its
activities in IRIS provides IRIS with a long and proud history right from the
start. Research activities started in the area of social science, but quickly
developed to include petroleum.

• Logistics: Sending equipment and samples onshore
When working for Geoservices I was working indirectly for Lars Johan Skjold
(Statoil) many times. When he was coming to our working area he asked me
for the answer to the geological interpretation. He also told me that the best
geologists were engineers because we described what we could see. The
geologists were describing what they thought they could see.
Arie Romer wrote the following about me: Sigve has executed his work tasks
to our full satisfaction and therefore we give him the best recommendations.
Geoservices is the industry leader in mud logging, focusing on drilling support
and formation evaluation. Decision-ready information about well status
is helping to drill better wells more efficiently. Timely and more accurate
information on reservoir fluid composition and lithology is detecting pay zones
that would otherwise be missed, assisting well placement, revealing reservoir
connectivity and compartmentalization, and guiding critical decisions.
Drilling Support
Obtain improved quality and higher level of analysis of surface data including
drilling speed, vibrations, hole cleaning, and early kick detection to enhance
safety and optimize drilling operations.
Formation Evaluation Services
Use analysis of rock cuttings and gas in the drilling mud for understanding
formation geology, efficient hydrocarbon detection under all conditions

Ula
Geology evaluation and supervision when drilling the wells:
Ula (7/12-A-5 B & 7/12-A-05B-T2)
Ula (Norwegian: Ulafeltet) is an offshore oil field located in the southern
Norwegian section of North Sea along with Gyda, Tambar and Tambar East
fields making up the UGT area, usually attributed to DONG Energy's main
areas of exploration and production activity. The Ula field was discovered in
1976 and came online in October 1986. It contains confirmed 69.98 million m3
of oil and 2.5 million of NGL.
Ownership
BP is the operator of the field with 80% of interest in the project. BP's partner
DONG Energy holds 20% of interest. DONG Energy increased its initial share
of 5% to 20% by acquiring Svenska Petroleum's complete share of 15% for
$130 million in 2008.
Production
Ula is located in approximately 70 m (230 ft) of water. The main reservoir
stands at 3,345 m (10,974 ft) in the Upper Jurassic Ula Formation. The field
has three conventional steel facilities with production, drilling, living quarters.
It has 7 production and 2 water injection wells. Current production at Ula field
is 10,000 bbl/d. The existing gas process plant was recently extended with
a new module, turbin and compressor and has been operative since 2008.
The gas from Blane field is injected into the Ula reservoir for production. The
gas produced at Ula field is re-injected into the field for increased recovery as
well. The field is expected to be abandoned in 2028. The produced oil is then
transported by a pipeline to Ekofisk oil field and on to Teesside for refining. In
Page 12 of 23
13.
2009, Aker Solutions was awarded a contract to tieback Ula field to Oselvar
field. The work is expected to commence in 2011. Once complete, the oil from
DONG-operated Oselvar field which is 24 kilometres (15 mi) from Ula will be
pumped to facilities at Ula for processing.

Vallhall IP
Geology evaluation and supervision when drilling the wells:
Vallhall IP (2/8-G-10 T3 & 2/8-G-11-T4/TS)
Development
Valhall is an oil field located in 70 metres of water. The field was originally
developed with three facilities, but has now 8 platforms.
The Valhall complex consists today of six separate steel platforms for quarters,
drilling, wellheads, production, water injection, combined process- and hotel
platform respectively. These platforms are bridge-connected. In addition the
field has two unmanned flank platforms, one in the south and one in the north,
both around 6 kilometers from the field center.
The Drilling Platform (DP)
Situated between QP and PCP. It has 30 well slots, waste injection and a
drilling rig. The platform started its activity on 17 December 1981, at that time
with the first covered derrick. The derrick and drilling foundation were removed
during summer 2009 and a separate program for plug and abandonment is
under development.
The Production Platform (PCP)
The final shut in of the platform took place late July 2012 and the production
now takes place on the new process and hotel platform The original PCP
platform was built to process 168,000 barrels of oil and 350 million cubic feet
of gas per day. The platform is 65 meters high and weighs 21,000 tons. The
oil production is piped to 2/4-J at the Ekofisk Center and goes to Teesside
in England. The gas is transported directly via Norpipe pipeline to Emden in
Germany. The platform also processes oil and gas that comes from Hod.
The Wellhead Platform (WP)

Transocean Leader
Wellbore history
Well 6605/8-1 is an exploration well on a Late Cretaceous Lysing prospect
situated on the western flank of the Fles North rotated fault block structure
in the Vøring Basin outside Mid Norway. The primary objective was to test
the presence of movable hydrocarbons in the Lysing prospect. A secondary
objective was to investigate the reservoir potential of the Nise Formation
Operations and results
Wildcat well 6605/8-1 was spudded in 838 m water depth with the semi-
submersible installation Transocean Leader on 14 June 2005 and drilled to
TD at 4513 m in Late Turonian sediments of the Lange Formation. Operations
went without significant technical problems. No shallow gas or shallow water
flow was observed. The well was drilled with spud mud down to 2500 m and
with KCl/Polymer/Glydril mud from 2500 m to TD.
The well penetrated the main target at 4184 m, a 70 m thick Lysing Formation
deep-water turbidite sand of Early Coniacian age. Gas was recorded from
4180 m. There were two gas zones separated by a water zone. The upper
zone had gas down to a free water level inferred at 4221 m (4193 m TVD
MSL). The lower gas zone, at 4253 m, was very thin and was approximately
20 bar overpressured compared to the upper zone. Gas shows were also
encountered in Early Campanian Nise siltstone at 3064 m and a deeper Lysing
sandstone unit at 4354 m.
One 9 m long core was taken in the interval 4190-4199 m in the upper Lysing
reservoir. It contained sandstones interbedded with thin mudstone layers. MDT
fluid samples were taken at 4230.55 m (water), 4231.4 m (water), 4209.4 m
(gas), 4211.86m (gas), and at 4253.5 m (gas which gave a dark brown/black
liquid when flashed). An MDT run in cased hole after the DST and almost 3
weeks after the last mud circulation gave a maximum temperature of 146 deg
C at 4230 m. This was believed to be close to the true formation temperature.
The well was perm. abandoned 22 October as a gas discovery.

Geology evaluation and supervision when drilling the well:
West Navigator (6507-3-4)
Wellbore history:
General
Well 6507/3-4 is located on the Alve structure, which is a horst, located in the
north central part of block 6507/3 on the Dønna Terrace. The main objective of
this appraisal well was to prove down flank oil resources in the Middle Jurassic
sandstones of the Garn and upper Not Formations. The secondary objective
was to prove oil in the Ile Formation.
Operations and results
Well was spudded with the vessel West Navigator on 14 March 2004 and
drilled to TD at 4092 m in the Early Jurassic Åre Formation. The well was
drilled with seawater and bentonite down to 1250 m, with KCl/polymer/glycol
from 1250 m to 2300 m, and with oil based mud (Paratherm) from 2300 m
Page 16 of 23

to TD. A shallow gas warning class 1 was given for the interval between 950
to 1370 m, based on gas peaks observed in well 6507/3-1. A pilot hole was
drilled down to 1250 m. No shallow gas was observed.
The well penetrated the reservoir below the hydrocarbon-water contact in
the Garn, Not and Ile Formations. Top Garn Formation was encountered 7
m below prognosis. Moveable hydrocarbons were not proven, only shows
throughout the Garn and Not Formations and discontinuous weak to moderate
shows in the Ile, Ror, and Tilje Formations from 3805 m to 4000 m. Two cores
were cut in the Garn, Not and Ile Formations and nine MDT water samples
were collected in Garn, Ile and Tilje Formations. The Garn sample from 3726
m contained approx 2 dl of hydrocarbon fluid, which proved to be mud filtrate
(base oil) with some dissolved residual oil from the formation.
The well was permanently abandoned on 30 April 2004 as a dry well with
shows
Testing
No drill stem test was performed

Kvitebjørn
Geology evaluation and supervision when drilling the well: 34/11-A-11
Kvitebjørn
Development
Kvitebjørn is a gas condensate field located in the eastern part of the Tampen
area, in the northern part of the North Sea. Water depth in the area is about
190 metres. The field is developed with an integrated accommodation, drilling
and processing facility with a steel jacket. An amended PDO for Kvitebjørn was
approved in December 2006.
Reservoir
The main reservoir consists of Middle Jurassic sandstones of the Brent Group.
Discoveries have also been made in the Cook- and Statfjord Formations. The
reservoir lies at a depth of approximately 4 000 metres and initially had high
temperature and high pressure. The reservoir quality is good.
Recovery strategy
The field is recovered by pressure depletion.
Transport
Page 17 of 23
18.
Rich gas is transported through a dedicated pipeline to Kollsnes, while
condensate is transported in a pipeline tied to the Troll Oil Pipeline II for
onward transport to Mongstad.
Status
Drilling on Kvitebjørn is challenging due to depleted reservoir pressure.
A new infill well was drilled in 2012 and a second is being drilled in 2013.
Development of the east flank of the field is being considered. Gas pre-
compression will be installed on the platform, with start-up in December 2013.
Modifications are being made to prepare for tie-in of the Valemon field in 2014.

The Sleipner gas field is a natural gas field in the North Sea, about 250
kilometres (160 mi) west of Stavanger, Norway. Two parts of the field are in
production, Sleipner West (proven in 1974), and Sleipner East (1981).The
field produces natural gas and light oil condensates from sandstone structures
about 2,500 metres (8,200 ft) below sea level. It is operated by Statoil. The
field is named after the steed Sleipnir in Norse mythology.

Gyda oil and gas field (2/1-A16 AY1 & 2/1-A16 AY1/T2)
Gyda is an offshore oil field located in the southern Norwegian section of North
Sea along with Ula, Tambar and Tambar East fields making up the UGT area,
usually attributed to DONG Energy's main areas of exploration and production
activity. The Gyda field was discovered in 1980 and started producing on June
21, 1990. The field contains confirmed 39.6 million m3 of oil and 6.6 billion
cubic meter of natural gas.
Ownership:
Talisman Energy is the operator of the field with 61% of interest in the project.
The full share was bought by Talisman Energy in 2003 from the previous
operator, BP for $82 million.[3] Partners of Talisman Energy, DONG Energy
and Norske AEDC AS (NAEDC),owned by Arabian Oil Company (AOC), hold
34% and 5% interest in the project, respectively. holds 34%. Capital spending
on Gyda was expected to be $131 million.
Production:
Gyda is located in approximately 66 m (217 ft) of water. The main reservoir
stands at 4,000 m (13,000 ft) in the Upper Jurassic Ula Formation. The field
has one conventional steel facility with production, drilling, living quarters.
Gyda currently produces an average of 10,000 bbl/d (1,600 m3/d). The field
also produces excessive amount of water making the oil production stable.
Due to the difficulties, the production license was extended to 2018. Several
new wells are currently being drilled. The produced oil is transported by a
pipeline to Ekofisk oil field and on to Teesside for refining.

Ocean Vanguard (6406/1-3 (Erlend))
The drilling rig Ocean Vanguard had to spend almost the entire winter
Vestbase. After of runs of
an anchor chain last December had the rig immediate needs for repairs.
Mishap occurred during drilling for Eni well 6406/1-3 in Norwegian Sea. But
never so bad that it is not good for anything.
The immediate improvements gave the local industry projects for 12 -NOK 15
million, according Vestbase. Ocean Vanguard went to the field to pick up BOP
and riser in end of February and
returned for further improvements. The total turnover on Vestbase for both
sojourns estimated at 20 - NOK 25 million. The rig will shortly publish on behalf
of the group.
Drilling HSE evaluation: The rig experienced a gain in the active pit. The
mudlogger and data engineer suspected a kick and warned drill floor.

Draugen has the most produced approx. 225,000 barrels of oil a day. When
the field was developed, there was a planned average production of approx.
90,000 barrels a day, but the oil reservoir and the platform proved to be able to
produce more.
Oil is produced from a total of 11 wells, of which 6 are platform wells and 5
subsea wells. The produced oil is stored in the seven storage cells in the
bottom of the concrete shaft. Crude oil is loaded via a floating loading buoy,
about 3 kilometers east of the platform.
Facts:
Location: West of Kristiansund
Block Number: 6407/9
Operator: Norwegian Shell
Licenses: Shell (26.2%), Chevron Norway (7.56%), BP Norway (18.36%),
Petoro (47.88%)
Discovered date: 07/09/1984
Reservoir Depth 1650
Produsjonsstart: October 1993
Draugen gas exports
The 10th October 2000 started exports of gas from Draugenfield. Draugenfield
exports about. 1.5 Sm3 gas per day via a dedicated 78 km pipeline of 16
"(inch) attached to Åsgard Transport pipeline.
Ever since the start of oil production on Draugen there have been efforts to
increase and prolong the production. Yarn West is a site entirely west of the
Draugenfield containing approx. 7.5 million Sm3 of recoverable oil reserves.
To map the area was made extensive use of 4D seismic (4-dimensional). This
has given very valuable information about the field and how the oil moves in
the field. At the same time 4D sesmikk information on where new wells should
be placed.
A / S Norwegian Shell is continuously working to create the most value of
the reserves in Draugen. This benefits both the owners and the community.
Therefore, considering one continuous drilling of new wells to access the
pockets of hydrocarbons that can be produced by the existing wells.
