A major milestone has been reached with the clean-up and testing of the first three Martin Linge oil wells in the North Sea. Between August 2014 and September 2018, Maersk Intrepid is on contract with oil major Total. Intrepid is assigned to explore the vast Martin Linge field in the Norwegian part of the North Sea – an oil and gas discovery that was made in 1975. The clean-up of the wells represents the first production testing of the Frigg reservoir, which is part of the Martin Linge field. It will give an indication of the potential production rate of the wells when the field comes on stream in 2018. A clean-up means the activity to flow the well. This is achieved by removing any drilling fluid left in the hole and to have the well column filled by pure crude oil which will be heading back to the surface. The well is flowed through a complex well test system consisting of a choke manifold and separators. The oil and gas produced is lead to the rig burner booms in order to determine the flow potential of the well. The three oil wells have long horizontal drains into the reservoir. The Frigg oil reservoir is situated 1750 metres below sea level, and the longest horizontal drain is at a depth of almost 2000 metres. The Martin Linge field in the North Sea is situated at a water depth of 115 metres. The field is a highly complex, high-pressure area, consisting of an oil reservoir located at 2000 metres depth and a sizeable gas reservoir at 4000 metres depth.
