By GlobalDataDiscovered in 1984, the Smørbukk field has been on stream since 1999.
The main purpose of the well was to confirm the existence of hydrocarbons in Mid/Lower Jurassic reservoir rocks in the north-eastern segment of Smørbukk and to delineate the discovery.
The well also penetrated the Grizzly prospect in Cretaceous strata. Small amounts of hydrocarbons were struck in sandstone in the Lange/Lysing formations. Extensive data acquisition was performed but these resources are not expected to be recoverable.
In addition, a sidetrack well was drilled for further data acquisition. The sidetrack is prepared for use as a future production well.
The wells were drilled by the semi-submersible Transocean Leader drilling unit.
