AGR was assigned by ENGIE E&P to drill a cost effective wildcat Cara well near the Gjøa field in the northern part of the Norwegian North sea – an area close to shore and with a high volume of marine traffic.
CHELLENGE
Situated just 35km from the mainland, the team needed to mitigate additional environmental risks through detailed planning and monitoring.
In addition, the rig was in a busy marine traffic zone and so needed critical safeguards in place to protect the safety of the drilling crew and the vessels entering the area.
RESULT
- The Cara well was completed ahead of time and below budget
- Excellent HSE performance
- All objectives met, including successful well testing
