3D reconstruction of a normal fault zone at sub-seismic scale: A trenching study of a strand of the active Baza fault, Central Betic Cordillera, south central Spain
Koch, Leah Jean (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2017;, Master thesis, 2017-06)Faults are rarely a discrete two-dimensional surface, but a three dimensional volume with a complex internal structure. Faults are commonly encountered in reservoirs and evaluated for their ability to act as a fluid flow ... -
Application of trishear and elastic dislocation models to the Teapot Anticline, Wyoming
Gutierrez, Ivan (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2017;, Master thesis, 2017-06-15)Teapot Dome is a Laramide fault-propagation fold developed over a west-vergent thrust that involves basement. In this thesis, I test the applicability of the kinematic trishear model and the mechanical elastic dislocation ... -
Applying Geological Process Modeling to a turbidite system in the northern North Sea
Nguyen, Hoang (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IER/2019;, Master thesis, 2019-06)In recent years, several mathematical methods, especially those based on geostatistics, have been used in reservoir characterization. The reliability of the static models derived from these techniques depends on available ... -
cdem: A macOS program for discrete element modeling of tectonic structures
Cardozo, Nestor; Hardy, Stuart (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-08)cdem is a macOS document-based application for two-dimensional discrete element modeling of tectonic structures and their associated deformation. Documents encapsulate simulations that can be run and explored simultaneously. ... -
Comparing photogrammetric and iPad-Lidar models of exposed faces in the Rogfast tunnel.
Østhus, Hanna (Bachelor thesis, 2022)Cameras have become progressively more advanced in the 21st century. They are a ubiquitous feature in electronic devices, which brings more opportunities for collecting data in the field and creating 3D geologic models. ... -
Comparison of facies models based on stochastic versus deterministic AVO inversion
Pindel, Adrian (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IER/2020;, Master thesis, 2020)This thesis compares facies models based on deterministic AVO inversion – which is a standard approach in the industry, and stochastic AVO inversion – which is a newer, less popular approach, but according to literature, ... -
Compositional variation of the Zechstein Group in the Norwegian North sea: Implications for underground storage in salt caverns
Marín, Dora; Cardozo, Nestor; Escalona Varela, Alejandro (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Halite beds in the upper Permian Zechstein Group represent an opportunity for the future development of underground storage caverns. However, geological factors such as lithological heterogeneities, cap rock characteristics ... -
Controls of basin margin tectonics on the Lower Cretaceous sedimentation in the Norwegian Barents Sea
Kairanov, Bereke (PhD thesis UiS;530, Doctoral thesis, 2020-06)Structural styles and stratigraphic patterns along North Atlantic margins display a large spectrum of complexity and variability. An extensive amount of subsurface data from the north-central and south-western Barents Sea ... -
Coupling of trishear fault-propagation folding and ground process modelling.
Malde, Per Kristian (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2017;, Master thesis, 2017-06-15)This thesis couples two processes, tectonics and sedimentation, by simulating the kinematics of fault-propagation folding with sedimentary processes in the form of erosion, transport, and deposition, in a 3D numerical ... -
Discrete Element Modelling of Sedimentation and Tectonics: Implications for the Growth of Thrust Faults and Thrust Wedges in Space and Time, and the Interpretation of Syn-Tectonic (Growth) Strata
Hardy, Stuart; Cardozo, Nestor (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-09)Thrust faults, and thrust wedges, are an important part of the surface morphology and structure of many contractional mountain belts. Analogue models of thrust wedges typically provide a map- and/or side-view of their ... -
Dry well analysis of well 6407/10-5 at 793 area, Norwegian Sea.
Qamar, Javeria (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2017;, Master thesis, 2017-06-15)The region of investigation is located in the Norwegian Sea, which is an area of high hydrocarbon activity. Many reservoirs have been successfully identified, drilled, and now they are producing in large oil & gas fields. ... -
Evaluation of strategies for fracture modeling: A case study at Teapot Dome, Wyoming
Kundacina, Darjan (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2016;, Master thesis, 2016-06-15)The characterization of fractured reservoirs is complex. Fracture modeling is often based on very limited well data and therefore is subject to high uncertainty. Typically, the standard modeling workflow uses interpolation ... -
Fracture analysis and modelling of the South Arne field
Adlakha, Khushal (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IER/2018;, Master thesis, 2018-06-14)Fractures are paramount elements in reservoirs, and they are omnipresent in almost all outcrops. The importance of fractures lies in their ability to provide permeable pathways and consequently increase the reservoir ... -
Geometrical and kinematical analysis of an extensional fault-propagation fold in the Wisting Field, Norwegian Barents Sea
Aksland, Marte (Master thesis, 2021)The Wisting field is located on the Bjarmeland Platform northeast of the Maud Basin and adjacent to the Hoop Fault Complex. It is Norway’s northernmost oilfield to be developed. 3D high resolution P-Cable seismic data from ... -
