Halliburton performs deepwater well test in Norway
Posted: 16 December 2003
Halliburton Energy Services recently performed a record-breaking
deepwater well test operation for Statoil at the Ellida structure
in the Norwegian Sea.
The test -- performed from the dynamically positioned drill ship,
West Navigator, at a water depth of more than 1,200 meters is the
first well test performed at such a water depth off the Norwegian
coast. HES is a business unit of Halliburton.
"We are very satisfied with the services provided to us in
connection with this testing operation," said Tore Klungsøyr,
the Statoil project manager for the Ellida well. "The deep
water test was planned on a very tight time schedule. It was also
the first drillstem test operation performed onboard the vessel
West Navigator.
"We are impressed by how the operation was prepared and performed,
particularly with the timely and effective communication between
the shore-based and the offshore-based operations. This is a very
important success factor in a complex operation that was performed
without incidents or an environmental spill," Klungsøyr
concluded.
Halliburton's Tarjei Gudmestad, country manager for Tools, Testing
and Tubing Conveyed Perforating (TTTCP) and Completions Products
and Services in Norway, said: "The duration of the test operation
was in excess of 400 hours through a period of very rough weather,
but we were able to deliver equipment and personnel to perform a
safe, reliable reservoir evaluation for Statoil."
