Arctic Exploration - Burger J Well Data - 2015

In 2015 Shell Oil Company drilled the Burger J well in the Chukchi Sea.  The well was drilled to a depth of 6,800 feet from a semisubmersible mobile offshore drilling unit operating in 149 feet of water.  Shell was required to submit all geological and geophysical data obtained during the drilling of the well to the BSEE Alaska Region office.  Shell has subsequently relinquished the lease on which the well was drilled, making the data available for public release (30 CFR 250.197).

** Note:  The well data listed below is in various formats requiring various software to access it; BSEE does not provide software for the purposes of reading the data, or guidance in how to access or utilize the data.  For additional questions please contact the BSEE Alaska Region Public Affairs Officer at guy.hayes@bsee.gov. 

Additionally, well log data (not listed below) is available for purchase through the library services of TGS (www.tgs.com).
