The objective of the well was to prove petroleum in Lower Jurassic reservoir rocks in the Cook Formation.
Wildcat well 34/6-7 S encountered the Cook Formation in a total of around 117 metres of reservoir rocks, 90 metres of which were sandstone with moderate to good reservoir quality.
Well 34/6-7 S was drilled to a vertical depth of 4472 metres below sea level and was terminated in the Burton Formation in the Lower Jurassic.
Water depth at the site is 403 metres. The well has been permanently plugged and abandoned.
