5. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The exploration well P11-06 was drilled by Petro-Canada in license block P11b in the
Dutch Sector of the North Sea to test the Van Ghent prospect which is located
approximately 55 km northwest of The Hague. The well objective was to drill and
evaluate the Volpriehausen Formation reservoir for hydrocarbons. The well was drilled
according to license agreement with EBN (PCNL 50.00% and EBN 50.00%).
Pre drill geophysical studies identified the Van Ghent structure as having a high
probability of being hydrocarbon bearing with indications of a gas cap overlying a thin oil
column. The reservoir section of the Van Ghent structure is analogous to the section
penetrated in well P10-05 (Van Brakel – gas discovery) and P11-03 (De Ruyter – oil and
gas discovery).
The Transocean “GSF Labrador” jack-up rig was utilised to drill the well. The rig was on
contract from 08:30 hrs on 26th March 2008 and was positioned at the final approved
surface location, 1.93m from the proposed location.
The well was drilled vertically with a maximum inclination of 2 degrees and had a 30”,
13.3/8” and 9.5/8” casing and 7” liner scheme.
The Volpriehausen reservoir was drilled from 1702m to 1801m MDBRT in a crestal
position on the Van Ghent structure. Top reservoir was recorded 12m deep to prognosis
and top Lower Buntsandstein was recorded 2m deep to prognosis. The original TD within
the Lower Buntsandstein was extended by 30m to drill into the underlying Hewett
Formation to test for presence of hydrocarbons. Final TD was 1892m MDBRT, 21m MD
into the Hewett Formation.
The reservoir section was comprehensively logged with eight logging runs:
The lack of good oil shows in the cuttings samples and absence of oil on the shakers or in
the mud initially suggested the Volpriehausen reservoir was entirely gas bearing (
although there was some indication on the gas chromatograph that a change in fluid
charter had occurred around 1750m with increased C4s and C5s). Evaluation of the
MDT pressure data from run 2C clearly showed 3 separate fluid gradients in the
Volpriehausen; gas, oil and water. The presence of an column was confirmed by fluid
MDT samples and oil shows in the rotary sidewall cores.
Petrophysical interpretation of the acquired data set confirms a 49.3 m TVD gas column
overlying an 11.6m oil column within the Volpriehausen Formation. Reservoir properties
within the Volpriehausen were good; net:gross close to 99%, average porosity 26.6% with
an average water saturation in the hydrocarbon bearing part of the reservoir of 31%.
Once the logging program was complete, a 7” liner was run and cemented in place and
the well was temporarily suspended as a gas and oil discovery pending future
development. The GSF Labrador was released from contract at 18:50 hrs on 23rd April
2008.
There were no first aids cases, restricted work cases or lost time incidents during the
drilling of well P11-06.

6. GEOLOGICAL SUMMARY
The Van Ghent structure is located offshore in block P11b on the Dutch Continental Shelf
approximately 55 km Northwest of The Hague. Tectonically the structure is a part of the
greater De Ruyter structure that is located on a ridge bounded by the London-Brabant
High to the South and The Winterton High in the North. The Permo-Triassic Shelf is
deepening towards the East into the West & Central Netherlands Basin and to the
Northwest towards the Sole Pit Basin. Various pre-Tertiary tectonic phases have given
the area a pronounced structural fabric with dominant NW-SE fault trends.
The Van Ghent structure is a NW-SE trending combination trap. SSW dipping Triassic
Volpriehausen sandstones are unconformably overlain by Lower Cretaceous Vlieland
claystones that act as a top seal. The lateral sealing mechanism is provided by
claystones of the Vlieland Claystone Formation that are offset against the Volpriehausen
horstblock. Towards the NW the underlying Lower Bunter Shale forms the seat seal of the
structure.
Pre drill geophysical studies identified the Van Ghent structure as having a high
probability of being hydrocarbon bearing with indications of a gas cap overlying a thin oil
column.
The reservoir section of the Van Ghent structure is analogous to, and can be correlated
with, similar Volpriehausen sections penetrated in well P10-05 (Van Brakel – gas
discovery) and P11-03 (De Ruyter – oil and gas discovery).

1. Drill a vertical exploration well through the entire Triassic Volpriehausen sequence (base
Lower Cretaceous to top Lower Buntsandstein).
2. Drill the well in a crestal position, in order to test a maximum hydrocarbon column.
• acquire a full set of petrophysical logs through the reservoir to facilitate reservoir
characterization;
• acquire good quality, uncontaminated fluid samples (gas, oil, water) in order to
obtain fluid properties (API, composition, dewpoint);
• perform a rig sourced check shot survey in order to establish a seismic to well tie;
30” casing was driven to a depth of 145.9m MDBRT in the Upper North Sea Group
sands.
The overburden of Tertiary Upper North Sea Group sands and Middle to Lower North Sea
Group claystones was drilled in 17.1/2” hole to a section TD in the upper Ommelanden
chalk at 796m MDBRT. The 13.3/8” casing was run and set at 794m MDBRT without any
problems. The 12.1/4” section was drilled to a section TD of 1,704m MDBRT just into the
top reservoir target (2.1m into Volpriehausen Formation). Top reservoir was identified by
using the LWD At-Bit-Resistivity data which showed a potentially hydrocarbon bearing
reservoir. This was confirmed by the increase in drill gas with C1-C5 recorded in the
bottoms up sample.
The instability of the Vlieland Formation resulted in the wireline logging (Run 1A) not
reaching 12.1/4” section TD as it was held up at 1,687m MDBRT (17m off bottom). The
9.5/8” casing was set at 1,703m MDBRT (1m into Volpriehausen) to case off the unstable
Vlieland Claystone Formation yet allow the evaluation of almost a full reservoir section in
8.1/2” hole.
The entire Volpriehausen reservoir sequence was drilled from 1,702m to 1,801m MDBRT
in a crestal position on the Van Ghent structure. The planned TD (originally 50m along
hole into the Lower Buntsandstein) was deepened by 30m. Due to the higher than
expected LWD resistivity readings and the continued C1-C5 gas readings in the lower
section of the Volpriehausen reservoir it was considered prudent to evaluate the
underlying Hewett reservoir for hydrocarbons. LWD resistivity and subsequent formation
pressures confirmed the Hewett Formation was water bearing.
The well reached TD on 12th April 2008 at a depth of 1,892m MDBRT (1,852m TVDSS),
21m along hole into the Hewett Formation.
Top reservoir was recorded 11.5m deep to prognosis and top Lower Buntsandstein was
recorded 2.6m shallow to prognosis but within the +/- 20m seismic uncertainty range.

The rig sourced checkshot survey confirmed the proposed “slow velocity” depth
conversion model was valid at both P11-06 and the De Ruyter Field.
Excellent quality gamma ray, resistivity, neutron, density, and sonic log data allowed the
reservoir to be evaluated and characterized. An accurate GOC and FWL were
established through the acquired MDT pressures and although there was a failure during
the MDT gas sample acquisition (sample pump needed servicing at surface and was re-
run) a full set of pressurized oil, gas and water samples were acquired. An accurate rig
sourced checkshot was acquired to support the regional geophysical model.
The lack of good oil shows in the cuttings samples and absence of oil on the shakers or in
the mud initially suggested the Volpriehausen reservoir was entirely gas bearing,
although there was some indication on the gas chromatograph that a change in fluid
charter had occurred around 1750m (increased C4s and C5s). Evaluation of the MDT
pressure data from run 2C clearly showed 3 separate fluid gradients in the
Volpriehausen, gas, oil and water. The presence of an column was confirmed by fluid
samples and oil shows in the rotary sidewall cores.
The Schlumberger MDT tool was used to collect 16 formation fluid samples from 5
sampling depths with the objective of acquiring representative samples with <5% mud
filtrate contamination. The Live Fluid Analyser (LFA) was used to identify fluid types
when representative formation fluid was being pumped across the sensor. Although
when using water based mud the LFA software is unable to predict contamination levels,
a pH sensor was used and clearly identified the cleaning up from mud filtrate to formation
water. The samples were collected when the Schlumberger engineer/Wellsite team felt a
Petro-Canada Netherlands B.V.
clean formation sample was being pumped. After consultation and authorization from the
Operations Geologist, the following samples were collected:
The Quicksilver dual probe system was used to reduce clean up pumping times and
provide formation samples with minimum contamination, although on the oil sampling, the
sandstones had low permeabilities which resulted in excessive drawdown with the
Quicksilver dual pump system and the decision was made to do the cleanup with a single
pump. The samples recovered were of sufficient quality to allow full analysis by Core
Laboratories Limited. The PVT analysis on the gas sample measured a gas density of
0.1462 g/cc which corresponds to a gradient of 0.0143 bar/m. The measured oil density
was 0.659 g/cc corresponding to a gradient of 0.0646 bar/m.
Rotary sidewall cores were acquired to constrain the petrophysical evaluation and
improve the reservoir characterization. Although there were initial problems with the
rotary sidewall coring tool, once modified correctly, 40 of the 50 sidewall cores attempted
were recovered. Quality of the rotary sidewall cores was generally excellent and the
recovered cores were suitable for conventional core analysis and petrography.
Petro-Canada Netherlands B.V.
Petrophysical analysis of the acquired data set on the P11-06 well indicates a 49.8 m
TVD gas column was penetrated by the well. A clear Gas Oil Contact is seen on the
formation pressure gradient data at 1711.4m TVDSS (1751.8m MDBRT). An 11.6m TVD
oil column is defined on pressure gradient data with the Free Water Level (FWL) picked
at 1723.0m TVDSS (1763.4m MDBRT). The FWL indicated by the pressure data is in
good agreement with the calculated Rxo curve indicating non moveable hydrocarbon
below 1723.0m TVDSS. Below the FWL a 22m TVD interval of residual hydrocarbon is
interpreted, the water saturation in this zone averages about 70%.
The pressure data showed a step change of 1.1 Bars in pressure between the
Volpriehausen water leg and the slightly lower pressured Hewett Formation. This may be
the result of pressure depletion associated with the De Ruyter production from the P11-A-
01 and P11-A-02A wells.
Net Sand and Net Pay were defined through cut-offs. The porosity cut-off is based on the
core porosity-permeability cross-plot and set to 10.5%. The recorded reservoir properties
over the Volpriehausen Formation are summarized as follows:
Once the logging program was completed, a 7” liner was run and cemented in place and
the well was temporarily suspended as a gas and oil discovery pending future
development. The GSF Labrador was released from contract on 18:50 hrs on 23rd April
2008.
Petro-Canada Netherlands B.V.
Core Laboratories was contracted to carry out analyses on the formation fluid samples
taken from the well. A full API ion analysis, organic acid analysis, sulphate analysis and
dissolved CO2 analysis was performed on the water samples. Compositional analysis
from cryogenic distillation and PVT analysis (constant composition expansion) was
performed on the gas samples. Results are in the separate report - Core Lab; Reservoir
Fluid Study for Petro-Canada Well P11-06.
A total of 40 rotary sidewall cores were recovered from well P11-06. The cores were sent
to Corex (UK) Ltd for analysis. Each core was cleaned and dried under controlled
conditions before being analysed conventionally for porosity, permeability and grain
density. Sidewall core petrography was carried out by Corex (UK) Ltd. 16 of the rotary
sidewall cores were selected for petrographic analysis. The full analysis and results are
contained in Corex (UK) Limited Petrographic Report, Exploration Well P11-06, Job No
2008-047A.
I.G.I (Integrate Geochemical Interpretation Ltd) were contracted to provide analysis and
interpretation of the following data acquired in well P11-06:
• Sidewall cores from 1732.5m (gas leg), 1769.8m and 1782.5m (water leg)
• MDT Gas Sample
• MDT Oil sample
The rig source high density checkshot data was processed by Upwave Limited. The
VSP has provided a high frequency, multiple-free image at the reservoir interval and
reflectivity beneath TD. Report number: VSP Processing Report VEA000393226.

7. WELL OPERATIONS
The exploration well P11-06 was drilled by Petro-Canada in license block P11b in the
Dutch Sector of the North Sea. The objective was to drill and evaluate the Volpriehausen
formation for hydrocarbons. The well was drilled according to license agreement with
EBN (PCNL 50.00% and EBN 50.00%).
The Transocean “GSF Labrador” jack-up rig was utilised to drill the well. The rig came on
contract on the P11-06 well from 08:30 hrs on 26th March 2008 and was positioned on the
final approved surface location.
The well was drilled vertically until a total depth of 1892m MDBRT with a maximum
inclination of 2.13 degrees. The 30”, 13.3/8” and 9.5/8” casing scheme resulted in an
8.1/2” hole through the Volpriehausen reservoir.
The Volpriehausen reservoir sequence was drilled from 1701.9m to 1800.8m MDBRT at a
crestal position of the Van Ghent structure. Top reservoir was recorded 11.5m deep to
prognosis and top Lower Buntsandstein was recorded 2.6m shallow to prognosis. The
reservoir section was initially drilled to 1863m MDBRT, but was extended by the
subsurface team to be drilled into the Hewett Formation to test for any hydrocarbons
present in these sandstones. Final TD was called at 1892m, 21m AH into the Hewett
Formation. Seven open hole logging tool strings were run over the reservoir: Run #2A,
DSI-HRLA-TLD-MCFL-CAL-CNL-HNGS-ACTS-SP-ECRD; Run #2B, FMI-GPIT-GR-
ACTS-LEHQT; Run #2C, MDT-GR-ACTS-ECRD (Pressures); Run #2D, MDT-GR-
ACTS-ECRD (Samples); Run #2E, VSI-GR-ACTS-LEHQT; Run #2F, MDT-GR-ACTS-
ECRD (Samples); Run #2G, MSCT-GR-ACTS-LEHQT; Run #2H, CBL-VDL-GR-CCL.
Once the logging program was completed, a 7” liner was ran and cemented in place and
the well was temporarily suspended.
The TransOcean Labrador was released from the P11-06 on 18:50 hrs on the 23rd of April
2008 after releasing the last tow vessel from the main bridle at the mouth of the Verolme
Shipyard.
There were no first aids, restricted work cases or lost time incidents during the drilling of
P11-06.

The legs were pinned and the rig was jacked up to preload air gap of 5m. Pre-loading
commenced at 09:30hrs on March 27th and it took 15 hrs to fully pre-load the rig to 99.7%
of VDL or 6891mt. The pre-load was held for 1 hour for confirmation and it took 4 hrs to
dump the pre-load and jack to a final air gap of 23.5m (RT-MSL: 40.0m, RT-Mudline:
73.4m), final position of the rig was 1.93m at 352° from the intended position with a
heading of 236° and the initial estimate of penetration was 0.3m. The cantilever was skid
into E1 position and the Enerpac tensioning system was installed, at the same time, the
spud vessel ‘Far Grimshader’ began offloading bulks and tubulars, working spud boat
was suspended due to winds in excess of 45 knots and high seas. The rig installed the
top package, the flowline and began picking up tubulars while waiting for the seas to
diminish. In total 2.0hrs were lost due to weather.
The initial spud can ROV survey took place on March 28th by GB Diving as usual there
was minimal penetration of the “Labrador’s” flat cans. The survey was repeated 24 hours
later with some evidence of scouring seen on mainly the port leg. Due to the possibility of
more extensive scouring, rock dumping was mobilized, and carried out around all three
legs (4x sides per leg). The rock dumping vessel HAM 601 (from Van Oord) was
mobilized on April 2nd and arrived in the field at 22:00 hrs on April 3rd. Rock dumping was
carried out successfully, with approximately 80-90 ton dumped on each side of the three
spud cans, note that approximately 2 hrs of on-line time was used by the rock dumping.
The HAM 601 was complete and departed the 500m zone at 07:00 hrs on April 4th – post
dumping survey was acceptable as were all follow-up ROV surveys.

The 30” conductor was cold cut at 3.15m above the conductor tensioning deck (i.e.
12.53m below RKB) to accommodate the 29.1/4” MSP diverter and bell nipple. The
diverter was installed with one side outlet and tested. The 30” conductor was tensioned to
40mT using the rigs CTU.
The conductor was cleaned out with seawater and a 24” Y11 rock bit to 142m MDBRT
(3m above shoe depth). The well was displaced to 1.05sg Bentonite spud mud.
Note that there was an error in the initial measurement of the buttweld sub compared with
the land-out seen on the 13-3/8” casing. The depths listed here are based on final land-
out measurement and a dummy run – some discrepancies may be seen in drilling reports
with regards of BWS depth. No obvious cause for the tally discrepancy can be found.
Drilling resumed with 2500lpm and 110rpm and down to 400m the well was drilled with
seawater. Hi-vis sweeps were pumped every stand. The North Sea Clays were
encountered at approximately 500m. Drilling was suspended for a short time, and the well
was circulated while the KCl mud was built at surface. The KCl system is vital for
inhibition of the gumbo clays. When drilling resumed, flow rate was gradually increased to
Petro-Canada Netherlands B.V.
4,000lpm (148 bar SPP) and was maintained from 500m MDBRT to 796m MDBRT.
Penetration rate was limited to 30m/hr to prevent any gumbo problems at surface or in
the riser. The top of the Ommelanden Chalk was encountered at 771m MDBRT and at
796m MDBRT the section was TD’d. The well was circulated clean and flow checked, the
EMS was dropped and pumped down with a nut shell plug. The nut shell was displaced
out of the hole, although it was too strung out to get an accurate gauge on the hole
diameter. Only minor tight spots were seen whilst pumping out of hole at 3,500lpm. The
17.1/2” stabilizers were laid down and the EMS was recovered. The tool indicated a
maximum inclination in the 17.1/2” hole section of 2.1° at 227m and a TD inclination at
0.92° at 779m. There was no wear noted on the BHA and the 17.1/2” T11C was graded
1/1/WT/A/1/I/CT/TD.
The 13.3/8” casing was run and washed down without incident until the land-out. It was
washed down from 778m. At 794m, the casing stood up about 0.40m short of the
anticipated shoe depth. The tallied depth of the conductor BWS was the source of the
discrepancy. The wellhead and running tool were pulled and the landing string
configuration was altered (shortened by approximately 0.40m) – the casing landed
without incident. The incorrect space-out cost approximately 5 hours of rig time and
meant that the 30” conductor had to be re-cut as the rig was unable to activate the
wellhead load ring (cut by only 3”).
The 13.3/8” casing was finally landed at 794m MDBRT after changing out the space out
joint. The casing was cemented in place with 1.58sg Pozmix lead slurry (83.5m³; 76.6mt)
and 1.67sg Pozmix tail slurry (15.7m³; 16.8mt). The cement was displaced with 1.20sg
mud and the plug was bumped after pumping 60m³ of fluid. No losses were seen during
cementing and the final hydrostatic prior to bump was ±45bar. The casing was tested to
138bar for 20mins. During the cement job, approximately 2m³ of cement was seen back
at surface. The wash ports were opened, the annulus was circulated clean with seawater
at 2,000lpm, and a 15m3 retarder / sugar pill was spotted around the MLS prior to closing
the ports. The 13.3/8” was then pressure tested to 138 bar.
The 29.1/4” MSP diverter and bell nipple was removed and set back. Due to the incorrect
space-out of the buttweld sub, the conductor had to be re-cut by 0.12m to accommodate
the wellhead landing ring. The 30” landing ring was finally installed after applying 7tons of
overpull. The bell nipple began leaking at the bell nipple connection. The bell nipple was
rigged down, repaired and re-installed, the leaking bell nipple cost approximately 1.25
hrs. In the meantime the INTEQ spool piece was installed in the derrick. The 13.5/8” BOP
and surface equipment were tested to 40bar (LP) and 345 bar (HP).

Further drilling proceeded with rotary drilling from 800m MDBRT with 3,500lpm and 3-
14ton WOB. A flow check was performed at 846m due to a drilling break and Azimuth
corrections were performed at 846-862m, 875-890m and 1130-1145m. Drilling continued
to 1353m and the well was displaced to a fresh 1.2SG KCl-glycol system and the bit was
pulled in order to run a rotary BHA with a near bit resistivity feature. The trip out was
uneventful, the MWD was laid-out downloaded and laid out and the bit was graded a 1-2-
BT-S-E-I-CT-BHA. Overall on-bottom ROP for the bit was 15.9m/hr. A dummy run was
made to MLS ring prior to RIH with the BHA. This figure puts the BWS at 102.374m, and
the HO 9.5/8” MLH at 102.752m, the original depth was at 103.07m (top of conductor at
12.529m).
The purpose of a second BHA run was to use a near-bit resistivity and set the 9.5/8”
casing shoe just into the top of the reservoir (<2m). The new BHA with HCC HC605 PDC
was picked up and RIH on a packed rotary assembly. An additional 48 joints of 5” DP
were picked up on the trip. The section drilled through the troublesome Vlieland shale and
1m into the Volpriehausen sandstone to 1704m MDBRT. The well was circulated clean
with a bottoms-up gas of 10.5%. The BHA was pulled from 1704m, then after
encountering some tight spots (5-13mt overpull), it was decided to pump out to 1344m at
1750lpm. No further tight spots were encountered and the BHA was pulled conventionally
from 1344m to surface. The MWD was downloaded and racked, the bit was graded a 0-0-
NO-A-X-I-NO-TD.
Schlumberger wireline was rigged up and ran wireline run 1A: DSI-PPS-PEX-ACTS. The
string would not pass tight spots at 1686m (18m off bottom). The decision was made to
log-up only from the depth of 1686m to 70m – this was accomplished without issue. The
Petro-Canada Netherlands B.V.
wireline was pulled out of the hole and rigged down. The caliper log gave an average hole
size of 12.516”.
The 9.5/8” wear-bushing was pulled and the wellhead / BOP’s were flushed.
BJ were rigged up and the 9-5/8” casing was run to 1703m (1m off bottom). Prior to
exiting the 13.3/8” casing shoe, an attempt was made to break circulation. The BJ FAC
tool would not enter the casing and had to be forced in – damaging the cups. The second
set of cups also did not fit and had to be forced in, these also had to be changed out, the
first set were reformed and finally were able to squeeze this set in, the incident with the
FAC tool cost 1.5 hours of rig time. The casing was run to 1685m with no issues, but
would not travel past 1686m. The string was picked up and 2.25 hrs were spent washing
and working to string to bottom, finally landing off at 1703m. It shall be noted that the KCl
concentration was depleted to 95 kg/m3 prior to reaching TD.
An 8.0m³ of Tuned E+ spacer (1.44sg) was pumped and the bottom plug was released.
The casing was cemented in place with a 1.58sg Pozmix lead slurry (34.4m³; 31.5mt) and
1.67sg Pozmix tail slurry (5.7m³; 6.6mt). The cement was displaced with 1.20sg mud and
the plug was bumped after pumping 64.7m³ of fluid. No losses were seen during
cementing and the final hydrostatic prior to bump was ±82bar, giving a predicted top of
cement inside the 13.3/8” at 440m.
An attempt was made to test the casing, however a leak was seen on the cement-head,
as the calculated top of cement was deep (440m) and no signs of spacer / cement were
seen during the displacement, it was accepted that there was no need to open the wash-
ports on the MLS. To test the casing, the water bushing was made up and the casing
tested to 275 bar for 20 minutes. The MLS was then tightened to 5000 ft-lbs, the
adjustment nut setting tool was run and set. A run was made with the mill and flush tool
and two attempts were made to set the seal assembly with no success. The seal
assembly was laid out and a third run was made with the mill and flush tool, after this run,
the seal assembly was set and the entire string was successfully tested to 276bar for 20
minutes.
The pollution pans were installed in the rotary housing and the wear bushing was set.
MWD tool (DIR-RES-GR). The primary MWD tool had to be changed out due to damage
on its access port, meaning it could not be programmed, which cost approximately 0.75
hrs of downtime. A choke and stripping drill was performed prior to tripping in the hole.
The plugs and float collar were tagged at 1674m MDBRT, the shoetrack was drilled to the
shoe in 4.25hrs, which includes 0.75 hrs for preparing the rig for a closed system (i.e. skip
and ship in the event that oily cuttings were seen back at surface.
The 8.½” hole section was drilled to a TD at 1892m MDBRT with a 1.22SG KCl-glycol-
polymer mud. The section was drilled with 2200lpm (160 bar SPP), 110 RPM and 5000
ft-lbs of torque. Maximum gas readings for the section were approximately 8% and the
bit averaged 26.9m/hr on bottom ROP. As mentioned the section was drilled on a closed
system without issue, although no indications of hydrocarbons were seen at surface or on
the mud engineers retort.
After flow-checking and pumping out the hole to the 9.5/8” casing shoe, a drift was
dropped in preparation for the 7” liner run and the string was pulled and racked in the
derrick.
Schlumberger wireline was rigged up and began wireline logging operations. The
following runs were performed:
¾ This was a reconfiguration of the first MDT run; this run was for samples.
A total of 6x samples were taken, however there was difficulty getting oil
samples where eventually the pump module failed. It was decided to make
a VSI run before attempting another MDT run. Total time from picking up
tools to laying out tools was 25.00hrs (2.5 hrs considered non-productive
time).
Prior to performing a sidewall core run, it was decided to make a wiper trip to
circulate the well and break the filter cake. The trip was made without any
problems and no fill was seen at TD (max. gas on bottoms-up was 12%). After
taking torque and drags for the liner, the BHA was pumped back to the 9.5/8”
shoe and pulled out. Approximately 11hrs was taken for the clean-out run.
In total, wireline operations took 4.55 days from rig-up to rig down (including 11hrs for a
clean-out run). To confirm integrity in the 9.5/8” x 13.3/8” annulus, an offline 50 bar
‘squeeze’ pressure test was carried out, perfect test.
The 29ppf, L-80 7” liner was made up. A BOT UNIFLEX liner hanger system with HRD
running tool including DOBS was picked up and tested. The liner hanger was run in hole
to 1890m on 5” drill pipe to 1700m. The string was circulated and rotated at 20 RPM prior
to entering open hole. The liner was unable to get to TD (1892m), so it was decided to set
it at 1888m (top of liner at 1646m). The liner hanger setting ball was dropped and
circulated down to the ball seat in the landing collar. The hanger was set by pressuring up
to 140bar for 5 mins. The string was pressured up to 276bar to release from running tool
and DOBS. Pick-up string and observe that liner weight (25klbs) was lost. Circulate with
800lpm and 20 RPM while mixing cement.
An 8.0m³ spacer of Tuned spacer (1.44sg) was pumped and the bottom plug was
released. The casing was cemented in place with an 1.72g Pozmix slurry (6.0m³). The
cement was displaced with 1.20sg mud and the plug was bumped after pumping 19.8m³
of fluid. No losses were seen during cementing and the liner was tested to 172bar. The
ZXP packer was set with 22mt down and 55 bar pressure applied to inner string. The
running string was pulled and a pressure drop was witnessed to ensure the running string
was pulled out of the seal area to allow for proper circulation in order for the excess
cement to be reverse circulated out.
A total of 4.8m3 of contaminated mud / cement was seen at surface. A sponge ball was
dropped and the well was circulated conventionally at 2000lpm prior to pulling out. The
top of the 7” liner was reported at 1646m MDBRT.
Cement plug #1 the liner top “T” plug was pumped and set from 1598 to 1698m MDBRT.
A 1.71sg Pozzmix slurry was pumped and displaced with 1m3 of water and 13m3 of mud.
In the meanwhile an injectivity test was successfully performed to 50 bar on the 13.3/8” x
9.5/8” annulus. Cement plug #1 was tested 50 bar (725 psi)/15 min.
Petro-Canada Netherlands B.V.
POOH with stinger to 900m and pump and displace a 4.0m3 Hi-vis pill. Cement plug #2
was set from 694m to 794 m MDBRT. POOH with stinger to 250m and laid out excess 5”
drill pipe. Cement plug #3 was set from 250 to 150m. An 1.71sg Pozzmix slurry was
pumped and displaced with 0.9m3 of seawater. Displaced well to inhibited seawater and
lay down the 3.1/2” cement stinger.
Two attempts were required to retrieve the seal assembly due to incorrect make-up of the
running tool. The 9.5/8” Dril-Quip adjustment setting tool was made-up and the
adjustment sub was released from tension.
The 9.5/8” casing hanger was then released from the MLS and the casing pulled and laid
out. A Dril-Quip 9 5/8” TA cap was installed in the MLS at 103m MDBRT.
The bell nipple and 13.5/8” BOP were then removed. The 13.3/8” casing was backed off
at the MLS, pulled and laid out. A Dril-Quip TA cap was installed in the 13 3/8” MLS at
102m MDBRT and confirmed with 5mT overpull.
The 30” conductor was cut at 71.9m MDBRT this is 1.5m above seabed. The 30”
conductor was pulled and laid out. Two connections had to be broken with flame cutter.
The seabed protection dome was picked up from the supply vessel with lifting gear and
suspended underneath the drive deck. One of the BOP winches failed, which
implemented that the dome was trapped underneath the drive deck and it was not
possible to make-up the running tool. In total 2hrs were lost due to this incident. The
dome was connected and lowered with the tuggers from the rig floor. The running tool on
5” HWDP was connected to the dome. The seabed protection dome was installed onto
seabed after waiting on slack tide for 4hrs and 15minutes.
During this operation an ROV was deployed to assist in the installation of the protection
dome and a seabed clearance survey was also performed.
7.2.7 Demobilise
Once all remaining tubulars had been laid-out from the derrick, the top package and
cantilever were skidded in and secured. The Texas deck was rigged down and the BOP’s
were opened up. All sea-fastening was complete and the rig was jacked down to a 5m air
gap. The lead vessel “Sea Lynx” was attached to the main tow bridle, and the
accompanying vessel “Zeus” were hooked up to the port tow bridle. Water tight integrity
was confirmed and the rig was jacked down into the water and was outside the P11-06
500m zone at 22:55 hrs on April 22nd, 2008. As the rig was going off contract, Petro-
Petro-Canada Netherlands B.V.
Canada was responsible for the rig until the final tow vessel was released in the mouth of
the harbour at the Keppel/Verolme Shipyard, Rotterdam.
Tight tow from Petro-Canada P-11-06 Van Ghent location (52° 21.6' N Lat 03° 45.5' E) to
Verolme Shipyard, Rotterdam (51° 54.1' N Lat 04° 16.6' E) with lead vessel Sea Lynx and
assist vessel Zeus covered 37.2nm at an average speed of 2.3knots. It shall be noted
that the spread was slowed down in order to travel up the Maas river. At the mouth of the
Maas river two aft quarter harbour tugs were hooked-up. The lead vessel “Sea Lynx” was
released from the main bridle at 18:50 hrs on April 23rd, 2008 ending the contract.

Formation : Undifferentiated (Rupel and Dongen Formations)
Member : -
Interval : 361.0 m to 719.4 m MDBRT (-320.9 m to -679.2 m TVDSS)
Pick Criteria : The top was picked at the base of a short interval with distinctive
higher GR readings, probably a result of glauconite enrichment.
Lithology : The section consists of claystones with sand interbeds to 450m
MDBRT and claystone from 450m to 719m MDBRT.
Lithology : From 363m to 450m mainly green grey clay and claystone, which
Description was slightly calcareous, pyritic and contained shell fragments.
Colourless sand is common, very fine to fine, moderately sorted
and sub rounded. From 450m, green grey to brown grey
claystone. From 690m to 700m tuffaceous claystone was
recorded, but from the wireline logs (lower GR and DT) it is
apparent that the top of the Basal Dongen Tuffite Member is at
719.4m MDBRT.
Drilling / : A 1.05sg Bentonite spud mud and sea water with viscous sweeps
Directional was used to drill this section. At 500m MDBRT the well was
displaced to 1.12sg KCl-Gel-Polymer mud to inhibit the gumbo
clays. There were no losses while drilling this section. The well
was planned as a vertical well but inclinations of up to 1.62
degrees were recorded over the Middle to Lower North Sea Group.
ROPs : Average ROP during the interval was 35.3 m/hr. Maximum ROP
was 60.6 m/hr and minimum ROP was 15.1 m/hr.
Formation Gas : No gas was recorded while drilling this section.
Pore Pressure : Datalog Technology mudlogging concluded the section to be
Analysis normally pressured (refer to section 10.1).

Directional Polymer mud to inhibit the gumbo clays. When entering the Chalk
the mud weight was 1.20sg. There were no losses while drilling
this section. The well was planned as a vertical well but
inclinations of up to 1.04 degrees were recorded over the Landen
Formation.
ROPs : Average ROP during the interval was 32.9 m/hr. Maximum ROP
was 42.8 m/hr and minimum ROP was 19.0 m/hr.
Formation Gas : No gas was recorded while drilling this section.

728ppm, iC5 244ppm and nC5 180ppm.
9. HYDROCARBON INDICATIONS
All samples were examined using the UV light and tested with solvent (propanol) for cut
coloration under UV and natural light. The reservoir sands were seen as predominantly
loose quartz in the samples and commonly flushed. When the sandstones appeared as
friable cuttings, dolomitic cement was common resulting in mineral fluorescence, masking
oil shows. Only very weak oil shows were observed in the cuttings samples.
No oil was seen on top of the liquid in the cuttings skips, in the mud pits or on the
shakers. Oil checks in mud samples were negative while drilling the 8 ½” section. From
the MDT pressure profile it was evident that a 11.6m oil leg was present. This was
supported by the SWCs from the Volpriehausen in which good oil shows were observed.
The SWCs were only inspected visually onsite, no chemicals were added and the surface
was not cleaned. Mud samples taken after reaching well TD showed oil contamination of
3100ppm.

The gas was monitored by International Logging using a total gas detector via a
standard de-gasser and a direct-gas in mud total system. A Varian high-speed
chromatograph (C1-C5 / 30s) was used for gas compositional breakdown. All gas
systems were thoroughly inspected and calibrated before the start of the 26” hole
section and checked / calibrated thereafter on a regular basis. There were no significant
gas readings recorded until 1,325m MDBRT.

The 12 ¼” hole section was drilled to 800m MDBRT (-760m TVDSS) and a LOT was
performed to the equivalent mud weight of 1.68sg.
10.3 Temperature
The P10/P11 area lies within a normal temperature regime with a geothermal gradient of
3.3 °C / 100m, which is based on well P11-03.
Petro-Canada Netherlands B.V.
In well P11-06 the temperature was directly measured in the Volpriehausen and Hewett
Formations, using the Schlumberger MDT-tool (see section 10.1) with a maximum MDT
temperature of 76.8 °C recorded at 1831.1m TVDSS (72 hrs after last circulation).
Geological data acquisition was primarily acquired using International Logging (Datalog
Technology) mud logging systems, Baker Hughes Inteq MWD and LWD systems and
Schlumberger wireline. These services were all quality controlled and supervised by the
well site geologist. During final TD logging an additional QA from GAIA was present to
witness the wireline logging operations.
International Logging (formerly Datalog) mud logging services supplied a fitted unit and
crew equipped to monitor Gas, ROP and pit volumes as well as drilling parameters. In
addition International Logging supplied the remote system Wellwizard for monitoring well
data in real time in the rig-site offices. Due to the short duration of the drilling phase no
link to the Petro-Canada office in The Hague was established and also the secure storage
of wellsite data (Wellhub) was not used.
International Logging provided a microscope and a UV box for sample analyses and
produced a mud log and pressure evaluation log. Refer to section 12 for all geological
samples collected.
Overall the service provided by Datalog was reasonable, with a number of issues:
1. During drilling of the 17.1/2” section, the unconsolidated clay and sand in the
upper part were erroneously described as claystone and sandstone.
2. During drilling of the 12.1/4” section, no significant gas readings were recorded
between 1,210m and 1,325m MDBRT. Considering the sudden jump from 0 to
240 ppm at 1,325 m MDBRT, the gas readings between 1,210m and 1,325m are
questionable.
3. From 1,584m to 1,670m MDBRT gas levels are relatively low and questionable
(low level in header box or ditch line partly blocking?).
4. From 1,704m to 1,723m MDBRT (top Volpriehausen reservoir gas leg) gas data
was lost due to a data acquisition server error.
5. Regular inspections of the gas trap were carried out after all significant changes in
background gas levels. The position of the gas trap in the header box was very
unfavorable. The level of fluid dropped often due to changing shaker screens with
Petro-Canada Netherlands B.V.
loss of gas data. It was advised to change the position of the gas trap to a location
with more constant flow, e.g. the flow line.
6. Pump stroke counter #3 is giving an erratic signal and needed to be simulated.
Prior drilling out the 9.5/8” shoe track all pump stroke counter signals were lost.
PSC #1 and #2 signals were able to reestablish. Problem seemed to be caused
by electronics inside the mudlogging unit. The electronic module is scheduled to
be replaced during the period the rig is at the shipyard in Rotterdam.
7. Bad signal to rig floor monitor due to cable being smashed by moving containers.
8. Logistics: ran out of sample boxes during drilling of the reservoir section, although
boxes already had been ordered when the rig still was in the UK. Boxes arrived
after reaching TD.
9. General unit housekeeping during drilling could be improved.
10. Due to high ROP’s, some samples were missed, but this was understandable.
Datalog Crew
The Datalog crews provided a reasonable service with reasonably good communication
with the Transocean crews and good communication with the Petro-Canada
representatives. One of the unit managers, Cristian Laffineur was also present during the
2006/2007 Petro-Canada drilling campaign. The mudloggers were all relatively new to
International Logging. For most engineers and mud loggers the job lasted only one hitch
due to the short duration of the well.
1. WellWizard: the remote link was not in use, only internal rig site connections
were set up. No WITS link between the mudlogging unit and the Baker Hughes
LWD unit was set up. Hence no realtime LWD data could be displayed in
WellWizard in the WSG office on the rig.
2. Wellhub: was not used.
3. Phone Line to unit: Although one was requested, an external phone was not
installed in the mudlogging unit, for the same reasons a data line was not
installed, i.e. length of cable run required, and difficulties in accessing the cable
run. It was seemed as impractical as the rig phone could be used to access
directly an outside line. However the main problem was on phoning into the unit,
as the communication had to be put through from the Radio Room, and the added
difficulties entailed with that route.
Petro-Canada Netherlands B.V.
The well was designed as a vertical exploration well and a mud motor and MWD
directional survey tool was used in the 12 ¼” section and a MWD directional tool in the 8
½” section. This service was provided by Baker Hughes INTEQ. Directional and Gamma
Ray (GR) was available in the 12 ¼” section. From 1353m an additional Near-Bit
resistivity tool was run to allow section TD at top reservoir. In the 8 ½” section GR and
Resisitivity was run. Baker Hughes provided a logging unit and crew for this service. The
Sara II system was in use which was capable of decoding at a rate of 3 bps.

• The off-set of the NB-resistivity was set to 0.0m. Due to the use of water-base
mud the actual measuring depth is estimated to be 1m behind bit depth.
Data Quality
Throughout the 12 ¼” section RT data were good, apart from a few small gaps down to
830m. At 1,353m MDBRT prior POOH, the hole was displaced to KCL-Gem-Polymer mud
with 65,000 mg/l chlorides, causing a small increase in GR-readings. The NB-resistivity,
although having less character than the standard resistivity tool due to the depth of
investigation, was helpful in identifying the top of the reservoir. The reservoir was
penetrated less than 2m. The memory data was of good quality.
During drilling of the 8 ½” reservoir section, real-time and memory log quality was good in
general.
• At the start of the job a Torx key was missing which was necessary for accessing
the standard programming/dump port. A lot of time during rig-up was lost to
search on the rig for this key, which could not be located prior to running the tool.
The tool was programmed in an unorthodox way by making a straight connection
through the top of the tool. Information from the Baker Hughes base in Celle
stated the tools were never sent, but a day after reaching 12.1/4” section TD, a
Petro-Canada Netherlands B.V.
complete Torx key box was found on the rig attached to chemicals meant for
cementing.
• Due to the late rig-up and time lost to search for the Torx key, the initial presented
log format was not correct.
• Presenting memory data for the first run was very late. The engineer on night shift
had not been working on it.
• Often incorrect LAS files were issued to the client (applicable to all runs).
• While circulating at 12.1/4” section TD all 3 LWD engineers on board were in the
galley, making it necessary for the directional driller to make a public
announcement to direct one of the engineers back to the LWD unit to record a
directional survey at section TD. It often appears that hand-overs were being held
in the galley instead of the LWD unit.
• One of the bolts holding the dump port cover plate broke off when making up the
8.1/2” assembly, requiring the back-up tool to be picked up.

with the down log, following Schlumberger’s first RIH procedures and applying all the
necessary corrections, e.g. stretch, temperature, length of cable between rig and unit,
block height, etc. The log reference was set to the rotary table.

The Schlumberger logging crew arrived on the GSF Labrador on April 08th 2007. After an
initial safety meeting and rig induction, the unit was prepared for logging operations. It
appeared that the test module for diagnostics was faulty. Several electronic boards were
changed out without success. A replacement as well as a complete WFAD (acquisition
module) was ordered and transported to the rig by first available helicopter. The DSV and
WSG were not informed about this ad-hoc delivery and found out during the regular
morning call from the office team. The replacement WFAD was installed shortly before
rigging up the sheaves, leaving little time for checking the tools.
The rigging up of run number 1A began at 15:15 hrs April 9th 2008, preceded by a 15
minutes safety-meeting. The tools were successfully checked and calibrated as
witnessed by the well site geologist.
After pre-calibrations and loading the nuclear sources, the tool string was RIH to 794m
where the down log started to 1,450m. At this depth the calipers were opened and the
repeat pass made to 1,312m. After closing the calipers, the tool string was RIH and while
logging to bottom the tool hung up at 1,687m, 17m above section TD. Several attempts
were made to pass this point but the tool was unable to pass, making logging the main
log only possible from 1,687m. The open hole section was logged without problems and
continued inside the 13 3/8” casing to the seabed (GR and sonic). The overall data quality
was good with poor sonic data inside the casing due to poor cement bond, making re-
processing recommendable.
The 12 ¼” wireline logging operations were witnessed by the wellsite geologist, Henk van
Gastel and the time breakdown is included in Appendix H. Key observations from the
Wellsite Geologist witnessing the acquisition:
• No mud check (resistivity measurements) had been carried out prior the logging
run.
• No barrier in place at the bottom of the stairs to the rig floor prior loading nuclear
sources. Announcement regarding handling these sources was not widely heard.
• Tool was holding up at 1687.2m MDBRT (17m off bottom), unable to pass.
Petro-Canada Netherlands B.V.
• At top Vlieland Claystone the wireline depth was 0.3m deeper than the LWD-GR
depth, and well within tolerance.
• The hole size correction during logging up the main and repeat pass was not set
to caliper size, but to bit size.
• High frequency monopole mode for P&S to improve data quality.
• Good repeatability of log data.

The wireline operations were witnessed by Ian Barwick of Gaia-Earth Sciences Limited
and supported by the wellsite geologist, Henk Van Gastel. The VSP was witnessed and
QC’d by the borehole seismic specialist, Martin Ellis from RPS.
The 8 ½” logging on well P11-06 was a safe and successful logging job and the logging
operations are fully documented in Appendix I, Gaia Earth Science wireline witness report
(Runs 2A, 2B, 2C, 2E, 2F, 2G, 2H) and Appendix J, RPS Energy Borehole Seismic
witness report (Run 2d).
Based upon the pre-test data the following samples were required:
• 2 x water samples at 1871.4m MDBRT (Hewett), using 450cc multi-phase sample
chambers.

Downtime Summary
Highlights included:
• Determination of the pressure gradients present and the identification of the fluid
contacts.
• The performance of Quick-silver during the gas & water sampling
• Good petrophysical data obtained.
• The flexibility and adaptability of the Schlumberger personnel to deal with the
demands of a changing logging schedule.
• An 80% recovery of the rotary SWCs provided adequate coverage of all zones of
interest.
• Obtaining quality water samples (to be determined after analysis)
Lowlights included:
• The inability to use the Quick-Silver full capability during the clean-up prior to oil
sampling.
• Confusion over the MDT specialist role. The Schlumberger crews were under the
impression that a dedicated MDT Specialist would arrive on the rig on 13th April.
This was not the case so Marco Zeegers, the night shift Crew-Chief also had to
cover the MDT maintenance work.
• Unit 480 is not yet modified to allow more than 8,000 lbs to be pulled by the winch.
Not being able to pull the SWL of the logging cable increase the chances of
getting tools stuck.
• The second Logging Crew and majority of logging tools only arrived on the rig a
matter of hours before the job began.
• Investigate the cause of the discrepancy in the gauge readings while running in
hole for Run 2C.
• Investigate the cause of the failure of the MRPS to open during Run 2C. The
Engineer did manage to get the tool operational again by cycling the solenoids
while the tool was down-hole. The likely cause of this malfunction is that debris
bluffed the solenoids which then consequently cleared down-hole so a definitive
answer may not be found.

• For future jobs with similar mobilities it should be ensured that the Quick-Silver is
configured with an Extra High Pressure Displacement Unit above the probe and a
High Pressure Displacement Unit below the probe. This would allow for slower
pumping that may enable the both pumps to be used simultaneously resulting in a
quicker, better clean up for the oil samples. The down side to this is that pumping
would be slower in the highly mobile water and gas formations.
• Investigate the cause of the Seal-Valve failure in MRMS 93 during the gas
sampling.
• Investigate the cause of the pump-out unit ‘short-stroking’ during the oil and gas
sampling during Run 2D.
• It should be noted that there was uncertainty over one of the MPSR tanks used
during Run 2F. It was decided not to sample into MPSR 3343 as the valve may
have opened during Run 2C, the status of the tank was uncertain. This was
probably the Engineer being over cautious because there were other tanks
available and there was no absolute necessity to utilise this tank.
• Investigate why the FMI calipers were out of tolerance during the casing check
after logging Run 2B. The caliper readings were 9.05” & 9.30” inside 8.681” ID
casing.
• The data products such as LAS, PDS and composite logs were slow in being
provided and the LAS files had to be corrected a number of times, e.g. wrapped
data in LAS files. The programme was very specific in the requirements so there
should have been no confusion. Although it should be noted that the lack of
preparation time that was afforded to the crews before this job may have been a
factor.
the MDT work as well due to him being restricted by the day/night shift pattern.
Had Marco Zeegers known from the outset that he would be covering the MDT
Specialist role better preparations would have been made. This issue definitely
cost 2 ½ hours when MDT maintenance work was still going on at the completion
of the VSI, it also made it necessary to run an additional MDT Pressure only pass
due to the MPSR tanks not being installed.
• MDT sampling jobs should have two Engineers assigned that are fully competent
to cover their shifts. At no point during the job did Javier complete any sampling
which meant Vladimir worked very long hours. Whether Javier is competent at
MDT sampling or not is unknown but it is not acceptable to have one Engineer
covering a job that had at least 12 samples planned.
The wireline run 1A logged the 12.1/4” section in open hole and continued logging
gamma ray and sonic data through 13.3/8” and 30” casing to seabed.
At well TD, the last wireline run after the open hole logging programme and prior running
the 7” liner was the CBL-CCL tool which was run across the 9.5/8” casing (run #2H). Top
of good cement was recorded at 933m MDBRT.

12.3 Cores
50 sidewall cores were planned with the Schlumberger rotary side wall core tool, MSCT.
48 SWC’s were selected in the Volpriehausen and 2 SWC’s in the Hewett Formation.
The MSCT was RIH three times. On first attempt it was unable to run the tool into open
hole and it was necessary to pull the tool back to surface to install a hole-finder (finger-
type). During the second run the tool was successfully run in open hole and the coring
programme started. After 6 cores taken it was noticed that the core bit was not retracting
properly and these indications continued during cutting the 7th core and it was decided to
pull the tool to surface for inspection. One core was lost (1,757.4m MDBRT). Debris was
removed and a slight modification to the tool carried out (remove springs) and the tool
was run back in and the coring programme resumed.
In total 51 attempts were made, with 40 good SWC’s being recovered. The missed core
from the 2nd run was attempted and successfully cut during the 3rd run.
The wellsite geologist was under instruction to provide a very basic description of the
cores so as not to damage them and make sure they were securely packaged for
transporting to COREX in Aberdeen. The wellsite geologists descriptions are included in
section 9.7 of the GAIA logging report (Appendix I). The lithologal & U.V. fluorescence
descriptions in the table below were made after the conventional core analysis in the
laboratory at COREX.

12 ¼” Section
Highlights
Lessons Learned
• The trajectory followed the planned well path. However, a few meters before reaching
the total depth, the trend to go in a North direction was broken, and it was necessary
to slide 15 meters to the right.
Recommendations
• The Near Bit Resistivity should be used for future jobs due to its biggest advantage of
being able to know immediately and in real time the resistivity and other properties of
the earth formation and its major accuracy while drilling.
8 ½” Section
Highlights
• A Rotary Assembly and an OnTrak tool were used to drill this section.
• Good MWD decoding while drilling in open hole section.

Picked up the OnTrakII LWD tool. The necessary tools to open the OnTrakII hatch were not delivered
to the rig. The SW12 socket had to be flown in later. Had to program and verify tool through the M30
ring on top of the BCPM. Programmed and verified (except the resistivity sensors) tool oke. The LWD
tool was run in hole after a successfull surface test. Decoding was very good at 0.5 data rate and a
good realtime log was aqcuired. After downloading the memory data, a excellent memory log was
made. verification of the resistivity sensors was done after pulling out of hole.
Used the same OnTrakII LWD tool. The mud motor was laid down and the nearbit resistivity sub was
added to the bottom hole assembly. This LWD tool was run in hole after a successfull surface test.
Decoding was very good at 0.24 data rate and a good realtime log was aqcuired. The near bit
resistivity sensor confirmed the entry of the reservoir with a sharp increase of the resistivity value to
about 6 ohm/m. After pulling out of hole an excellent memory log was produced.
A 6 ¾" OnTrak LWD tool was made up and run in hole after a successful surface test. Decoding was
initially poor whilst drilling out the cement and float using a data rate of 0.24. Once in open hole
decoding improved to 100% using a 0.24 data rate, and a good realtime log was produced. Good
responses were seen in all curves whilst drilling out the reservoir at 40-50 m/hr. After pulling out of
hole an excellent memory log was produced.

Summary
Oilphase, a division of Schlumberger Well Testing Services was contracted by Petro-Canada to conduct
reservoir fluid sampling on well P-11-06 of the Van Ghent Field of the North Sea. A total of 6 bottomhole
samples were captured using the Oilphase Single Phase Multi-Chamber (SPMC). These tools were all
conveyed by Schlumberger Wireline as part of the Modular Dynamic Tester (MDT) toolstring.
The summary of samples collected is below.
A total of six 250cc SPMC samples were captured using the Quicksilver probe module as part of the MDT
string. The probe was set at 1755.2m MDBRT where there were 2 samples captured. The toolstring was
moved and the probe set again at 1754.5m MDBRT where a further 4 samples were captured.
On return to surface all six SPMC's were found to contain samples. The samples were then successfully
transferred into Oilphase Single Phase Sample Bottles (SSB) at reservoir temperature and above
reservoir pressure. A 60cc nitrogen gas cap was introduced to facilitate safe storage and transportation.
During this sampling run a total of ten Wireline MPSR conventional samples were captured. They
consisted of six gas samples from a depth of 1733.2m MDBRT and four water samples, two from a depth
of 1757.5m MDBRT and two from 1871.4m MDBRT.
General
All the samples including the Wireline MPSR's were shipped from the rig in an Oilphase container to the
Oilphase base in Aberdeen for onpass to Corelab for further analysis.

H2S Coupons results
Introduction
•H2S coupons are metal alloys that will loose the metal shine
after exposure to H2S
Schlumberger Private
•H2S coupons should be used a qualitative indicator
•Also H2S can results in the discolouration or tarnishing the
coupons
•Normally 6 coupons (2 of each sensitivity) are run inside the
tool in place of the resistivity cell of the standard probe. In
Quicksilver, there is additional slot which enables the use of
both the coupons and the resistivity cell.

1. Introduction
This report covers an audit of Schlumberger wireline operations for the TD logging of the
Van Ghent Prospect exploration well P11-06 which took place from 12th-17th April 2008.
• To observe that a safe and efficient operation was carried out by Schlumberger, in line
with Petro-Canada objectives.
• To ensure that high quality data was recorded by Schlumberger and the logging
programme was adhered to.
• To make third party recommendations for improved logging performance in the
future.
The reservoir bearing section of the Van Ghent structure directly correlates to the seismic
section encountered in the P11-03 discovery well of the De Ruyter field. A clean and
porous sandstone was evaluated in the discovery well and seismic correlations indicate a
similar sand body could be present in P11-06.
• Determine the presence, thickness and quality of the target formation (Volpreihausen
Sands) and gather data on the in-situ fluids.
• Obtain data for geological analysis.
• Obtain data for geomechanical analysis.
• Determine the pressure profiles in hydrocarbon bearing zones (oil/gas).
• Determine reservoir contacts for gas/oil/water.
• Obtain quality hydrocarbon samples (oil/gas).
• Obtain water samples.
• Obtain data for surface seismic calibration.
• Obtain rotary sidewall cores.
Drillers’ depths are used in the table above. Mud data is from final circulation before first rig
up, and copied directly from the mud report, courtesy Baroid Fluid Services.
4. Safety
Schlumberger performed in a safe manner throughout the entire time offshore.
• On arrival to the GSF Labrador an extensive induction course and rig tour was
attended by all personnel.
• The GSF FOCUS (Incident Prevention Programme) system was used throughout the
operation. JRAs, Mini-Prompts and Tool Box Talks were used at each shift change
and before the rig up and rig down of the wireline tools & equipment.
• A boat drill was attended by all crew on board the rig at 11:30 on 12th April.
• Schlumberger participation in the Focus Card system was not as high as Petro-Canada
& GSF would have expected. The majority of the Schlumberger personnel were very
busy during their time off-shore but more effort should be made on future jobs to
submit more cards.
• It was noted that Schlumberger personnel did not attend the Service Meetings held
daily at 19:00. These meetings are also used to discuss safety issues so every effort
should be made for at least one Schlumberger attendee to be present.
• A number of Focus cards were submitted by the GSF rig crew concerning
Schlumberger operations. This shows good awareness and understanding of third
party operations by the GSF crew.
At the request of Petro-Canada the following Safety related issues that occurred during the 12
¼” job have been recorded in this report.
• On the 12 ¼” intermediate logging run it was already noted that barriers were not
placed on the stairs leading to the rig floor prior to handling radioactive sources.
Some logging tools (DSI & PEX) had remained on board after the 12 ¼” logging job. The rest
of the tools arrived on board the rig at 13:00 on 12th April.
One crew consisting of Javier Espinosa, Boris Ivanov and Kazbek Ediyev had arrived on 8th
April 2008 to perform the intermediate logging in the 12 ¼” section. The above table has not
accounted for crew days that have already been charged for on the 12 ¼” intermediate section
ticket.
• The following was back-loaded on 15th April – 2 x PEX, 1 x HRLA, 2 x DSI, 1 x FMI
and the radioactive sources
1
TLC = Tough Logging Conditions (for running tools on drill pipe)
2
LWF = Logging While Fishing (to continue logging after fishing)
• The cable used on the unit, serial number #74205, is detailed below. The cable was
generally in good condition, with no splices. Approximately 500m of cable had been
chopped off before the job began due to general wear and tear.
• It was decided to run an ECRD for the first run in hole due to the uncertainty over hole
condition. An ECRD was also to be used for all MDT operations due to the increased
chance of getting stuck. Due to this it was decided to leave the ECRD in the
configuration for Run 2B (FMI) to limit the number of cable-head changes.
• A tan weak-point (6K – 6.7K lbs) was used for Run 2E, 2G & 2H. The requirement is
that the weak-point can be broken at TD (if need be) without exceeding 50% of the
breaking strain of the cable.
• The fishing kit was thoroughly checked, including standard 2 5/16” grapples for the
Schlumberger LEH logging head and an 8 ½” bowl for the Bowen overshot. The
fishing equipment is supplied with a 4 ½” I.F. female connection.
• The IDW (Integrated depth wheel) and CMTD (Cable Mounted Tension Device) were
in good condition and had been recently calibrated, as per the table below.
• All presentations were prepared based on the programme requirements, with standard
curves being recorded on the log.
• Run nomenclature for the job was based on the sequence provided by Petro-Canada.
The runs were to be numbered Run 2A, 2B….. etc. with the letter incrementing with

The GSF Labrador is a jack-up type rig which enabled a standard rig-up. The wireline unit is
positioned on top of the accommodation module which is at a higher level than the rig-floor.
The unit is slightly off-set from centre which does mean the unit needs to be pivoted
occasionally to allow the wireline to be spooled correctly when pulling back to surface.
First run in-hole depth control procedures were performed as a quality check to the correlation
log (Run 1A). A depth shift of +1.0m was necessary to match the depth acquired on Run 1A;
this is well within expected tolerances. A summary of depths (post depth shift) is shown in the
table below.
A down log with a reduced data set was acquired at 3600 ft/hr, no hang-ups were experienced
on the way in-hole. The main log was logged in high resolution with the DSI configured to
acquire Monopole & Upper Dipole resulting in a maximum logging speed of 1800 ft/hr. It
was decided to complete the Main Log first to ensure a full data set was obtained as soon as
possible. The Main Log was continued into casing and up to 1400m to allow a good
correlation with the 12 ¼” logs (Run 1A).
HRLA & SP: Good data and repeatability. The SP curve did respond appropriately across the
shale / sand boundaries but the character was limited.
CNL, TLD & HNGS: All good data and repeatability. HCAL Calliper read within 8.49”
inside the 9 5/8” Casing which had an I.D of 8.681”, a +0.2” shift was made to the calliper
data.
TEMP: Three thermometers were run in the logging head; two read 69˚C, the third was
broken.
Three complete passes were acquired with the FMI at different pad forces in an attempt to
strike a good balance between pad contact and reducing the stick & pull effect seen at higher
pad forces. Each pass was logged up into casing but the voltage removed from the FMI pads
before casing was entered to prevent damage to the tool.
The integrated borehole volume calculated from 1892m to 1703m (casing shoe) using the
corrected calliper readings was 6.99 M3. The cement volume across the same interval if the 7”
liner was installed was calculated at 2.29 M3.
FMI: There was poor pad contact in places and evidence of stick & pull in others. The data
will need to be processed. One button failed but this can be interpolated during the processing.
The FMI callipers read 9.05” & 9.3” inside the 8.681” ID casing, data was shifted
accordingly. This error in the calliper data is out-with normal tolerances; it may have diverse
effects on the quality of the dip calculations.
GPIT: All log QC indicators were in tolerance. The Directional Azimuth is meaningless in
vertical holes.
TEMP: Three thermometers were run in the logging head giving readings of 72˚C, 73˚C &
73˚C.
The MDT was run in a simplified configuration to acquire pressures only. The original
programme had accounted for a single MDT run to acquire both pressures and samples but a
change in plan was necessary because neither type of sample tank (MPSR or SPMC) were
installed into the MDT tank carriers at this point in time. The SPMC tanks were not ready
because the Oil Phase personnel had not yet arrived on the rig. The reason the MPSR tanks
were not prepared is discussed in the ‘Summary & Recommendations’ section.
The gauge readings were checked at surface; both the strain gauge and quartz gauges were
within specification at atmospheric pressure. The MDT was run in-hole but with the tool at
1200m the gauge readings differed considerably. The tool was pulled back to surface and the
gauges flushed with silicon oil.
After the completion of 11 pressure points the probe failed to set at 1758.3m. It was evident
the hydraulic pressure was available in the tool but the pressure was not being directed to the
correct places in the Standard Probe module to allow the tool to open. There are a number of
solenoid valves in the MRPS (Standard Probe module) to direct the hydraulic pressure
supplied by the MRHY (Hydraulic Module). These solenoids were cycled numerous times
with the tool down-hole and eventually the tool returned to a fully functioning state. The
original pressure test programme was then completed.
At the request of Petro-Canada the pressure point at 1733.2m was repeated to give confidence
that the tool was operating correctly after the solenoid problem. In addition four new pressure
points were requested to better define the fluid contact depths.
During the pressure survey the tool was mistakenly set at 1777.5m instead of the requested
1775.5m. The mistake was only noticed after the tool was set so it was decided to record a
pressure at this depth before moving to the correct depth.
In total there were 28 tool settings (only 27 requested) which produced 26 good pressures; the
other two tests were tight. Repeat draw-downs were made at three pressure points.
MDT: The Hydro-static gradient across the survey indicated a mud weight of 1.25 g/cc, this
compares to a reported mud weight of 1.22 g/cc. The Hydro-before and Hydro-after values
were generally in agreement of <0.1 Bar.
The pressure data yielded three gradients in the Volpriehausen; a gas gradient of 0.066psi/ft,
an oil gradient of 0.287psi/ft and a water gradient of 0.431psi/ft. The water gradient also
TEMP: Three thermometers were run in the logging head giving readings of 74˚C, 75˚C &
75˚C.
The original sampling programme requested 6 x SPMC samples in the oil leg, 4 x MPSR
samples in the gas leg, 2 x MPSR samples in the water leg and possibly an additional 1 gallon
sample of water. It was planned to use the Quick-Silver probe to sample the oil and water, the
Standard Probe was considered sufficient for the gas sampling.
It was decided to take the oil samples first given their importance. The Quick-Silver probe
was set at 1751.8m, a pre-test confirmed that the zone had good mobility and the clean-up
began initially using a single pump. Almost immediately the Fluid Analyser (LFA) indicated
high levels of gas were present. The pump speed was dropped to limit the draw-down because
it was assumed that the gas was coming out of solution from the oil. Even at slow pump
speeds with very little draw-down the predominant fluid being pumped was still gas. It was
decided that the tool must be too close to the GOC to allow an oil sample to be achieved so
the pumping was stopped after 25.5 litres (55 mins) and a sample depth chosen lower down.
It the proved difficult to find a suitable oil sample point. The tool was set five times at various
depths across the 9m oil leg, the formation was either tight or collapsing where the mobility
was high enough to attempt a sample causing tool plugging and lost seals. At this point
concern was expressed by Schlumberger that if the Quick-Silver was used for multiple pre-
tests whilst looking for a suitable sample point the inner seal may get stripped away. It was
decided to seat the tool and start pumping without a pre-test, using the draw-down seen at the
pump initiation as a mobility indicator.
Eventually an apparently reasonable sample depth was found at 1755.2m. The clean-up was
initially conducted using a single pump through the Quick-Silver probe. When the second
pump was started and the flow split between the ‘guard’ and ‘sample’ lines the draw-down on
the formation was excessive (almost 150 Bar), even at the slowest pump speeds. The
formation mobility was not high enough to allow both pumps to be operational so the clean-
up was conducted with a single pump. Doing this removes any advantage gained from the
Quick-Silver design, the only benefit was that a larger area was available for fluid to be
pumped from.
After struggling at this point for over 2 hours only 20 litres had been pumped out. The LFA
was showing large slugs of water and occasional gas mixed in with a reasonably clean oil
flow, the formation was drawing down to 103.7 Bar. Discussions were held with Mike Eynon
of Petro-Canada and it was decided to take two samples at this point as a precaution and then
to try elsewhere. A total of 34.8 litres was pumped at this depth. A pre-test was taken after the
sampling and it was found to have a mobility of 2.5mD, which is generally considered too
low for sampling.
Again there were difficulties in finding a decent oil sampling point. There were an additional
five tool settings with no success, each time the formation was found to be tight. Eventually
At Schlumberger’s recommendation sampling began after 128 litres had been pumped out
over 4 hours. It would have been preferable to carry on the clean-up process at this depth but
Petro-Canada felt it was better to follow Schlumberger’s advice. There were 4 x SPMC
samples taken at this depth. A total of 141.3 litres was pumped from the formation.
With the tool closed the status of the pump was checked by pumping mud through the flow-
lines, the pump appeared to be operational it was decided to continue with the sampling
programme. The tool was set at 1733.2m for a gas sample. Almost immediately though the
‘short-stroke’ started again and after 22.5 litres was pumped out over 35 minutes it was
decided to bring the tool back to surface for maintenance.
MDT: Decent repeatability compared to pressures acquired during Run 2C. The LFA
response was clear but no clean-up forecast was available because the software can not model
accurately in water-based muds.
The tank closing pressures recorded by Schlumberger were all verified back at surface by Oil
Phase. All indications at rig-site were that six pressurised oil samples had been obtained.
TEMP: Three thermometers were run in the logging head all three giving readings of 76˚C.
The VSI check-shot survey was witnessed by Martin Ellis of RPS. Details of the log quality
can be found in the report submitted by Martin Ellis to Petro-Canada.
The decision to run the VSI at this stage in the operation instead of continuing with the MDT
sampling programme was made for a number of reasons. The VSI Engineer needed to return
to the UK as soon as possible due to urgent personal reasons which had only become apparent
earlier that day. It was unknown when a replacement VSI Engineer would become available.
Also, Marco Zeegers, who was covering the MDT maintenance, had indicated that having
additional time to complete the maintenance of the MDT off the critical path was preferable.
The VSI was brought forward in the logging programme to allow the VSI Engineer to leave
the rig on 15th April and to allow time for the MDT repairs and redressing of the tanks.
Despite bringing the VSI forward in the programme to allow more time to complete the MDT
maintenance there was still a 2 ½ hour wait in between runs before the MDT was being rigged
up again. The SPMC tanks had all been removed and the MDT was dressed with 12 x MPSR
tanks.
The programme had changed slightly, now there were to be 4 x MPSR samples taken at a
single gas point and a further 4 x MPSR tanks taken over two water points. All sampling was
to be completed with the Quick-Silver probe. The Standard Probe was still run as a
contingency.
The tool was positioned back at 1733.2m and after initially starting the clean-up with a single
pump the second pump was soon initiated and the flow split between the ‘guard’ and ‘sample’
lines. Even with both pumps operating the pressure was only drawn down approximately 1
Bar below formation pressure. Only the fluid being pumped through the sample line could be
monitored as only one LFA was present in the tool configuration. Very soon a good gas
response was seen and sampling began after pumping 134.5 litres over 1 hour 23 minutes.
Two samples were taken into the bottom MRMS (173) tank carrier successfully.
When sampling was attempted in the top MRMS (93) tank carrier it was found that the
sample could not be over-pressured. This could be due to a tank valve failure or a MRMS
seal-valve failure. A second sample was attempted and the same scenario occurred meaning
that it was the seal-valve on the MRMS (93) tank carrier that was unable to hold the
pressurised gas. Following discussions with Mike Eynon of Petro-Canada a further two
MPSR samples of gas were taken in the good MRMS tank carrier (173), resulting in a total of
six gas samples. A total of 288 litres was pumped over 3 hours 45 minutes at this depth.
Once the probe had been retracted the gas was flushed from the sample-lines and the faulty
seal-valve was closed to check its status. It was found that the seal valve was able to hold
against the pressurised drilling fluid so it was deemed likely that the faulty seal valve would
still allow for the water samples to be over-pressured.
The Volpreihausen water sample was then taken at 1797.5m. The Quick-Silver pumps were
quickly initiated which resulted in a 3 Bar draw-down. It was uncertain if the LFA would be
able to differentiate between water-based mud filtrate and formation water on resistivity
readings alone so the tool had been configured with a pH detector and furnished with a 1
gallon chamber of pH dye. The pH dye is injected into the sample flow line at regular
intervals by the Engineer to give a momentary pH reading, this is noted and monitored for
stability to show clean-up has been achieved. Initial attempts to obtain an early ‘base-line’ pH
reading were unsuccessful, probably because the LFA requires a translucent fluid to correctly
obtain a pH value. The early flow through the LFA was probably full of solids making
readings impossible. The first valid pH reading was made after 50 minutes of pumping; a
value of 6.0 was obtained, this compares to a mud value of 9.4 as provided by the Mud
Engineer.
The tool was then positioned at 1871.4m to take a water sample in the Hewett formation.
Quick-Silver was used successfully and the pH monitoring was also utilised. This time an
earlier pH value was obtained, the fluid had a pH of 6.3 after 15 minutes. Further readings
across the pumping interval saw the pH value stabilise at 5.88, the resistivity again stabilised
at 0.024Ωm. Both samples were taken in the top MRMS (93) tank carrier due to uncertainty
surrounding the status of the final tank in the bottom MRMS (173) that had been run in hole
during Run 2D. Sampling began after 81 litres was pumped over 75 minutes, in total 101
litres was pumped at this depth.
It was considered prudent to perform a wiper-trip after this run in consideration of the amount
of formation fluids that have been pumped into the borehole.
MDT: Both resistivity and pH responses gave confidence that clean samples had been
obtained.
TEMP: Three thermometers were run in the logging head giving readings of 76˚C, 76˚C &
78˚C.
Petro-Canada had selected 50 cores across the whole open-hole interval, there was no
particular importance placed on core retrieval from any one particular formation. Some of the
core points were very close together (~1m) so it was decided to complete the coring
programme in three sweeps of the open-hole section. This had the advantage of giving enough
space between each core point to ensure the tool was moving and to check that it was still on
depth, it also meant that if the tool failed there was more chance having cores that spanned the
open-hole interval.
The MSCT was run directly after a wiper trip. Up to this point in the job there had been no
problems running tools in and out of the well, there was no reason to consider running a hole-
finder. The first attempt to deploy the MSCT was unsuccessful though, it hung up at an
approximate depth of 1708m. Multiple attempts to deploy the tool past this depth failed so the
tool was pulled back to surface and a hole-finder installed. With the hole-finder installed the
tool was able to pass the hang-up point on the second attempt.
With the tool back at surface it was seen that there was a lot of debris formed from rock chips
and mud accumulated around the bit mechanism. This was cleared away and as an additional
precaution two springs were removed from the bit mechanism to allow the mechanism to
rotate more freely. The springs that were removed have been a recent addition to the design to
the MSCT.
The tool was run back in hole and the coring programme completed. There was evidence that
the bit mechanism was once again struggling to return to the ‘eject’ position during the last 10
to 15 cores but the MSCT Specialist managed to ‘nurse’ the tool through.
MSCT: The recovery rate was 40 cores from 51 attempted. Exactly 80% of the programmed
cores were recovered, the majority of which were full length of in good condition.
TEMP: Three thermometers were run in the logging head giving readings of 76˚C & 76˚C, the
thirds thermometer was broken.
The CBL was logged to ascertain the position of the top of cement behind the 9 5/8” casing. It
had been expected to find the top of cement at a depth range of 500m to 700m so the
programme had stated to log from approximately 1000m until free pipe was found.
The CBL was logged while running in from 500m at a speed of 3600 ft/hr. No definite cement
was seen on the log response until the tool was past 900m so it was decided to run the tool
deeper to ensure enough data was acquired. The tool was eventually run down to 1400m to
ensure a good correlation could be made for depth control. Data was acquired from 1418m up
until 500m at a speed of 3600 ft/hr. A repeat pass was also made from 100m to 815m.
CBL: The CBL data was of good quality and repeatability. The Free Pipe Attenuation was
~52mV which is the expected value for this 9 5/8” casing. The log showed intervals of very
good cement from 1335m to 1355m and 1312m to 1321m. The rest of the cement is of
variable quality. From the CBL response it appears that the top of cement of reasonable bond
“I have looked at the data and I still think there is a clear TOC around 795 m. The log above
795 m looks like a typical example of a free pipe, I don't think this would be a micro-annulus
effect, however without the benefit of a second pass under pressure we could not really tell
100%.
Parameters all seem to be correct; in summary I don't see anything wrong with it. The tool
appears to repeat quite well also.
It would be good to get the cement type and impedance and probably adjust the ZCMT value
from 6.8 (default) to the actually value, however I don't think this would really improve much
the CBL amplitudes over the free pipe section.”
CCL: The CCL response was clear across the whole interval. The collar spacing was found to
be ~13m which matches the casing geometry.
TEMP: Three thermometers were run in the logging head but had not been spun down from
Run 2G hence no maximum temperature can be reported for this run.
• Highlights included:
o Determination of the pressure gradients present and the identification of the
fluid contacts.
o The performance of Quick-silver during the gas & water sampling
o Good petrophysical data obtained.
o The flexibility and adaptability of the Schlumberger personnel to deal with the
demands of a changing logging schedule.
o An 80% recovery of the rotary SWCs provided adequate coverage of all zones
of interest.
o Obtaining quality water samples (to be determined after analysis)
• Lowlights included:
o The inability to use the Quick-Silver full capability during the clean-up prior to
oil sampling.
o Confusion over the MDT specialist role. The Schlumberger crews were under
the impression that a dedicated MDT Specialist would arrive on the rig on 13th
April. This was not the case so Marco Zeegers, the night shift Crew-Chief also
had to cover the MDT maintenance work.
o Unit 480 is not yet modified to allow more than 8,000 lbs to be pulled by the
winch. Not being able to pull the SWL of the logging cable increase the
chances of getting tools stuck.
o The second Logging Crew and majority of logging tools only arrived on the rig
a matter of hours before the job began.
8.2. Recommendations
8.2.1. Logistics & Equipment:
o Unit 480 needs to have the high tension modification work completed as soon
as possible to allow the full SWL of the wire-line to be pulled.
8.2.2. Technical:
o Investigate the cause of the discrepancy in the gauge readings while running in
hole for Run 2C.
o Investigate the cause of the failure of the MRPS to open during Run 2C. The
Engineer did manage to get the tool operational again by cycling the solenoids
while the tool was down-hole. The likely cause of this malfunction is that
debris bluffed the solenoids which then consequently cleared down-hole so a
definitive answer may not be found.

It was decided to lay down the MDT and run the VSI after tool problems were experienced with the MDT. This
decision was based on the necessity of the VSI engineer having to leave the rig urgently due to personal reasons.

1. SUMMARY
On the 15th April 2008 a rig based zero offset checkshot survey was conducted on the P11-06
exploration well offshore Netherlands.
The survey was undertaken by Schlumberger onboard the jack-up drilling rig ‘GSF Labrador’.
Schlumberger provided the wireline.
The toolstring comprised a dual level VSI/GR deployed by wireline and the source a 3 x 150
in3 cluster.
A total of 32 checkshot levels were recorded. Data quality from the deepest level recorded at
1892m up to 727m was good throughout. Moderate amplitude casing interference was
observed at 675m which would not allow a reliable transit time to be field picked. Above 675m
quality degraded rapidly until 519m where high amplitude casing interference rendered the
data useless.
No lost time was incurred and no health and safety issues were observed or reported.
This report outlines the operating procedures and data acquisition system together with an
appraisal of the safety aspects, survey equipment, data quality and overall performance of the
rig based operations.
Details of survey statistics, levels shot and an operations summary are provided.

4. PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL
4.1 SAFETY
All work carried out by the contractor was done so in a safe manner and complied with all
safety regulations as discussed with the GSF safety representative and OIM before the survey
commenced. Schlumberger personnel showed a positive approach to safety and were seen to
be wearing the correct protective clothing.
All high-pressure equipment and airlines were taped off and PA announcements made
warning of high-pressure air usage.
The author was present at a safety meeting with Schlumberger, GSF drilling and the Petro
Canada drilling supervisor and briefed the relevant parties on the safety and logistical aspects
of the survey operations. Toolbox meetings were held with the drill crew just prior to sound
source deployment and toolstring rig up.
Full MMO procedures to JNCC guidelines were implemented prior to the survey and ‘soft start’
firing procedures were employed prior to gun array synchronisation and stability testing.
Schlumberger utilised a dual level VSI / GR toolstring (primary plus back-up in hole) for the
survey which functioned without fault throughout.
Telemetry, VSI and GR cartridges were separated from the VSI sondes by wireline bridles.
The receiver section ‘sub’ of each sonde contained three orthogonally mounted geophone
accelerometers (GAC type ’D’). The GAC outputs were fed into a telemetry and signal-
conditioning cartridge, which provided signal conditioning, A/D conversion, IFP amplifier and
filtering circuitry. The digitised signals were then transmitted uphole via the telemetry cartridge.
Each ‘sub’ was physically de-coupled from its sonde body. The ‘sub’ isolation was provided by
springs that acted to transmit the force of application of the arm whilst isolating the GAC
sensors from the modal resonances of the tool body.
Tests that could be conducted prior to and during the survey included;
Toolstring to borehole coupling was good throughout. The arms fitted to each VSI sonde could
provide coupling up to ~14” diameter boreholes. The arm locking force was displayed
graphically in the recording unit to show coupling effectiveness.
EOB0729/PetroCanada/P11-06/ME/LH 6
The system employed for recording the downhole and hydrophone signals was a dual bay
Minimum Configuration Maxis (MCM) unit that was interfaced to a well seismic acquisition
(WSAM) module. The module controlled the acquisition and digitisation of the hydrophone
signal together with downhole tool communication.
The MCM software version OP 16 used a window type programme to display downhole and
hydrophone data. The windows were sizeable and the data displayed could be scrolled to view
different parts of the signal. Dual 21” high definition monitors were provided to allow data to be
examined without interruption to the primary acquisition.
Shots and stacks were recorded onto hard disc and later backed up to CD. Data, after being
written to disc were compared with the data held in memory. Any difference would display an
error message.
The auto picking routine used for determination of waveform first break travel times performed
well throughout.
All field picks were timed from hydrophone to integrated accelerometer (geophone) break.
The software provided allowed a frequency analysis to be conducted on any of the recorded
downhole signals together with the sound source signature as monitored by the hydrophone.
Data were sampled at 1ms and each downhole signal recorded for 4 seconds.
4.4 SOURCE
The sound source deployed from the starboard side rig crane comprised a 3 x 150 in3 G gun
array. The array was deployed to a depth of 4.5m below mean sea surface via a floatation
buoy and operated at a pressure of 2000 psi. A suitably weighted Geospace MP24D
hydrophone positioned at the array midpoint 9m below mean sea surface monitored the
source output. An in-water spare was provided.
High pressure air was supplied via a high flow rate pressure regulator from two 48 bottle
‘Quad’ reservoir gas racks initially charged to 4000psi. Large diameter air hoses were provided
to reduce the array recharge time to 12 seconds between shots. The Auto Fire Delay (AFD)
was set to 15 seconds as a precaution to allow the array to fully recharge to operating
pressure.
Source synchronisation was achieved using a WSI source controller link which could adjust
the time of each gun in 1ms increments. The array was checked at regular intervals
throughout the survey and was found to be completely stable with synchronisation better than
1ms.
Significant wave height was 1m with a moderate sea state. The mean wind speed was 20
knots. The source array together with the source controller functioned without fault throughout.

5. SURVEY RESULTS
The zero offset checkshot survey was carried out from 1892m to 519m. A total of 32 levels
were recorded. Drilled TD was 1892m with a 9⅝” casing shoe set at 1703m. The nominal 8½”
drilled diameter open hole was thought to be in good condition as observed on a previously
run calliper log.
Data quality from the deepest level recorded at 1892m up to 727m was good throughout.
Moderate amplitude casing interference was observed at 675m which would not allow a
reliable transit time to be field picked. Above 675m quality degraded rapidly until 519m where
high amplitude casing interference rendered the data useless.
No tube wave interference was observed.
A GR correlation was recorded throughout. A correction of –1m (1m subtracted) was applied
to compensate for cable stretch. The depth error on pull out was found to be 0.3m.
Run in checkshots were found to correspond to within 1ms of the same outrun depths.

6. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
6.1. CONCLUSIONS
Within the bounds of the system utilised and the specification followed the survey was
acquired safely and fulfilled the survey objectives well within the estimated time.
Schlumberger provided a time / depth computation listing rapidly upon survey completion. The
normally provided VSI checkshot field report could not be produced in a timely manner
because the Maxis MCM was busy with continuing MDT logging operations. Since the author
and Schlumberger seismic operator were requested to depart the rig less than 2 hrs following
rig down, the field report was to be produced in Aberdeen and passed on to the author for QC.
The author and Schlumberger seismic operator were not mobilised to the rig until after logging
had commenced which, with the Maxis unit and wireline in use, provided no opportunity to
carry out essential equipment checks. It is the author’s opinion that had the equipment failed to
test successfully possible significant downtime would have been incurred.
The above not withstanding the Schlumberger seismic operator and crew should be
congratulated on a rapid, efficient and trouble free acquisition. The operator was very
experienced with the system and was willing to work with and accept suggestions from the
author.
6.2. RECOMMENDATIONS
• The seismic specialist and QC rep should be on site ~24hrs prior to expected wireline rig
up to allow full and complete equipment testing.

Introduction
The exploration well P11-06 was drilled by Petro-Canada in license block P11b in the
Dutch sector of the North Sea on the Van Ghent prospect. The Van Ghent structure is
located approx. 55 km northwest of The Hague. The Volpriehausen reservoir sequence
was drilled from 1702m to 1801m MDBRT at the crestal position of the Van Ghent
prospect.
The well was drilled vertically with a maximum inclination of 2 degrees and had a 30”, 13
3/8” and 9 5/8” casing and 7” liner scheme.
Across the 8½ in hole section Baker Hughes Inteq LWD Gamma-ray and Resistivity was
recorded, providing good quality real-time and memory data.
Run-1: PEX-HRLA-DSI-HNGS-SP
Run-2: FMI-GPIT-GR
Run-3: MDT-GR (for Pressures and Samples)
Run-4: VSI
Run-5: MSCT-GR
Run-6: CBL-GR
The caliper indicates that the borehole was in fairly good condition throughout the reservoir
section, except just below the casing shoe at the top of the Volpriehausen where the
density curve was reconstructed from Sonic. The density correction curve is otherwise well
within tolerance, as is all the other calibration data.
The MDT tool was configured with a standard probe and a Quick-silver probe. The
Quicksilver probe was used to optimise sampling time and reduce contamination of the
down-hole fluid samples.
The MDT pretests give three clear fluid gradients, indicating a gas column, an oil leg and a
water leg in the Volpriehausen. The fluid samples were taken at the following depths:
Interpretation
The entire Volpriehausen reservoir sequence was drilled from 1,702m to 1,801m MDBRT
at the crestal position of the Van Ghent prospect, final TD was at 1,892m (1,852m
TVDSS), 21m into the Hewett Formation. Top reservoir was recorded 12m deep to
prognosis and top Lower Buntsandstein was recorded 2m shallow to prognosed.
The same approach has been applied to evaluate P11-06 as used in previous wells,
DeRuyter P11-03 and Van Brakel P10-05.
The interpretation was carried out using the software package “Interactive Petrophysics”
(IP), applying a sand/shale model. All relevant input parameter are summarised in Table 1.
Shale Volume was determined from the minimum of Gamma Ray and Density Neutron
techniques.
Porosity was computed using the Density Neutron crossplot method in the top section of
Volpriehausen (1702 – 1732 m), and the Density method in the remaining Volpriehausen
interval as well as the Bunter. Where no Density or Neutron data was available, in the
Vlieland and the Hewitt, the sonic Wyllie equation was used. Porosity data was calibrated
to sidewall core porosity.
Archie equation was used to estimate water saturation. The deepest laterolog resistivity
RLA5 was used for true resistivity Rt.
Formation water salinity (ca. 110,000 ppm NaCl equ.) was adopted from studies performed
in the offset well, P11-03, and confirmed with a Pickett plot in the Hewett water-leg and
from the MDT water samples taken in the well. Electrical parameters “m” and “n” were
derived from SCAL in well P10-05.
A new saturation height function was derived from the Van Ghent data and was used to
compute an Archie independent water saturation.
A new porosity-permeability transform has been determined using P10-05 core analysis
and P11-06 sidewall core analysis data, as shown in Figure 1
Results
The evaluation confirms that the well penetrated a gas leg, an oil leg and a water bearing
Volpriehausen sandstone. The MDT pressure analysis plot (Figure 2) shows a 50m gas
column and a 11.5m oil column, both confirmed by analysis of fluid samples taken with the
MDT tool. The PVT analysis on the gas sample measured a gas density of 0.1464 g/cc
which corresponds to a gradient of 0.01436 bar/m. The measured oil density was 0.6585
g/cc corresponding to a gradient of 0.0646 bar/m. The specific gravity of the water was
1.092 at normal conditions.
The Gas Oil contact, as indicated by the MDT pressure data is at 1711.4m SS (1751.8m
MD). The free water level (FWL) derived from the MDT gradient plot is at 1723.0m SS
(1763.4m MD). The FWL indicated by the pressure data is in good agreement with the
calculated Rxo curve indicating non moveable hydrocarbon below 1723m SS.
The step change of 1.1 Bars in pressure between the Hewett and the Volpriehausen water
leg is possibly due to pressure depletion from the De-Ruyter production.
Below the FWL we see a 22 m interval of residual hydrocarbon, the water saturation in this
zone averages about 70%, this could be interpreted as a possible paleo OWC.
Net Sand and Net Pay were defined through cut-offs. The porosity cut-off is based on the
core porosity-permeability cross-plot and set to 10.5%. The results are summarised in
Table 2, and the CPI results plots are shown in Figure 4 and 5.

Summary
Rig source high density checkshot data were recorded by Schlumberger on 15th April
2008 at the P11-06 Van Ghent well for Petro-Canada Netherlands B.V. and partners.
The objectives of the survey were to provide a detailed time-depth relationship at the well
location and to generate synthetic seismogram responses from the supplied logs. The
checkshot data were acquired with a dual tool and sufficient levels were acquired to
enable successful VSP processing. The VSP has provided a high frequency multiple-free
image at the reservoir interval and reflectivity beneath TD.
The rig source data have a maximum bandwidth of 5-90Hz. Maximum bandwidth 5-90Hz
and seismic match 5-50Hz zero phase filters have been applied to the VSP data.
Processed 5-90Hz and 5-50Hz zero phase VSP and synthetic seismogram data have
been integrated with inline 6820 and crossline 755 seismic data. The tie between the
VSP, synthetic seismogram and seismic data is very good with a zero shift.
Discussion of Results
The P11-06 Van Ghent well is located at 52 21’ 46.964”N 03 24’ 27.645”E. The
borehole was essentially vertical, with a maximum deviation of 1.58 degrees at 1164m
MDKB.
Rig source high density checkshot data were recorded by Schlumberger on 15th April
2008 using a dual level non-gimballed VSI accelerometer array with 15.1m receiver
separation. 64 levels were recorded at irregular spacing between 1892.0 and 503.9m
MDKB. The data quality was good, although the levels above 700m MDKB are affected
by casing arrival interference and have been omitted from the VSP processing. Reliable
first arrival times have been computed for these levels from the recorded horizontal
component data.
Petro-Canada Netherlands B.V.
The raw accelerometer data were processed by Upwave Limited to produce time-depth
listings and P-wave reflection images. The processed VSP data have been output at a
maximum bandwidth of 5-90Hz zero phase and at a seismic match 5-50Hz zero phase
bandwidth. Figures 1.3 & 1.4 show the VSP enhanced deconvolved upgoing wavefields
together with the VSP corridor stacks and synthetic seismograms at 5-90Hz and 5-50Hz
respectively. The tie between the synthetic seismogram and VSP data is very good.
The processed 5-90Hz and 5-50Hz VSP corridor stacks have been inserted in the
seismic inline 6820 and crossline 755 data. The tie with the seismic data is good with a
zero shift.
Velocity log calibration and synthetic seismograms have been computed using the
corrected vertical times from the VSP data and the available log data after edit. The
resultant acoustic impedance log is displayed together with the seismic match bandwidth
synthetic seismogram, VSP corridor stack and inline 6820 and crossline 755 seismic
data. The tie between the synthetic seismogram, VSP corridor stack and seismic data is
good.
