Consultant: Project within petrophysics and geology. Data collection and data base development. 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.

• Functioning as Dataoperator/ Secure safe well drilling • Well monitoring: Pit volume control and
gas control • Maintaining sensors and repairing equipment • Reporting of geology • Geology: Catching
samples, lithology analyze, cuttings and cavings description and calcimetry analysis and core handling •
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 including in deepwater and harsh environments, downhole fluid
characterization, early information on reservoir fluid composition, lithology logs, and isotope logging.

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 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.

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) Installed in April 1996 and first
oil production started in June the same year. WP has 19 well slots. Total cost, including drilling of the wells,
is approx. 1,5 billion NOK.

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.

continental shelf with its 56 production and injection wells in 17 templates. The water depth in the area is
240-310 meters.
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 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
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 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.

(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.

Geology evaluation and supervision when drilling the well: 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.

Geology evaluation and supervision when drilling the wells: Deep Sea Trym (6407/9-E-2H) Draugen
oil producer 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.
