BG Norge AS is completing the drilling of well 1/3-12 S after failing to hit significant amounts of hydrocarbons. The purpose of the well was to prove petroleum in reservoir rocks in the Skagerrak formation from the Late Triassic Age; however, the well encountered thinner reservoir rocks with poorer than expected reservoir properties, which were water-bearing. The 1/3-12 S well was drilled to a vertical depth of 19,094 feet (5,820 meters) and terminated in the Skagerrak formation from the Late Triassic age.
