Abstract

Summary

This work discusses the recently drilled gas discovery on the Ivory well (6707/10-3S) in the Norwegian Sea. In an area where the interpretation of seismic data as direct hydrocarbon indicator was very challenging, sparse CSEM data helped build confidence in making a discovery. The data analysis and interpretation challenges of the CSEM data are discussed. The pre-drill predictions are presented and compared to the recently announced drilling results. This case study demonstrates how the integration of all available data helped the de-risking of the Ivory prospect.
