该井的主要勘探目标是探明中三叠世储层Kobbe组的石油。

该井的次要勘探目标是探明下侏罗统/中侏罗统储层中Realgrunnen亚组的石油。

7122/8-1 S 井在 Realgrunnen 亚组发现了 13 m 的油柱，砂岩层厚度为 29 m，储层质量为中等到良好。油/水接触发生在海平面以下1650米处。

在Kobbe组，该井钻遇气、油柱约240 m，其中砂岩层共55 m，储层质量较差至中等。没有遇到油/水接触。

初步估计已钻探段的发现规模为 0.5 至 210 万 Sm ³可采油当量。其他细分市场的潜力可能相当或更大。被许可人将考虑是否钻探评估井，并可能将这一发现与 Goliat 油田的现有基础设施联系起来。

该井没有进行地层测试，但已经进行了广泛的数据采集和采样。

这是1997年巴伦支海项目获得的229号生产许可证中的第9口探井。

7122/8-1 S井分别钻探至海平面以下2639米和2957米垂直深度，终止于中三叠统科贝组。

现场水深399 m。

该井已被永久堵塞并废弃。

7122/8-1 S 井是由 Transocean Enabler 钻井设施钻探的，该设施现在将返回巴伦支海南部生产许可证 229E 的临时试探井 7122/9-1，该井的作业者是 V Blockr Energi ASA ，完成剩余的井堵。

The primary exploration target for the well was to prove petroleum in the Kobbe Formation in Middle Triassic reservoir rocks.

The secondary exploration target for the well was to prove petroleum in the Realgrunnen Subgroup in Lower/Middle Jurassic reservoir rocks.

Well 7122/8-1 S encountered an oil column of 13 m in the Realgrunnen Subgroup in sandstone layers totalling 29 m with moderate to good reservoir quality. The oil/water contact was encountered at 1650 m below sea level.

In the Kobbe Formation, the well encountered gas and oil columns of about 240 m, a total of 55 m of which were sandstone layers with poor to moderate reservoir quality. The oil/water contact was not encountered.

Preliminary estimates of the size of the discovery, in the segment that was drilled, are between 0.5 and 2.1 million Sm³ recoverable oil equivalent. The potential in the other segments could be comparable or larger. The licensees will consider whether to drill an appraisal well, and possibly tie the discovery back to existing infrastructure on the Goliat field.

The well was not formation-tested, but extensive data acquisition and sampling have been carried out.

This is the ninth exploration well in production licence 229, which was awarded in the Barents Sea Project in 1997.

Well 7122/8-1 S was drilled to respective vertical and measured depths of 2639 and 2957 m below sea level, and was terminated in the Kobbe Formation in the Middle Triassic.

Water depth at the site is 399 m.

The well has been permanently plugged and abandoned.

Well 7122/8-1 S was drilled by the Transocean Enabler drilling facility, which will now return to wildcat well 7122/9-1 in production licence 229E in the southern part of the Barents Sea, where Vår Energi ASA is the operator, to complete the remaining plugging of the well.
