The Lofoten-Vesterålen margin (LVM) is located in the offshore northern Norway. It is the least explored and understood margin within the Norwegian passive margin due to the authority’s restriction, which closed this margin ...

The complexity and challenges related to drilling of wells shows an increasing trend, and there is a demand for new technology and/or methods. Managed pressure drilling (MPD) is gaining more and more attention on the market, ...

As the oil and gas recoverables are getting more inaccessible and harder to procure, the worlds demand for petroleum resources are constantly increasing. This entails the oil industry to expose themselves towards more ...

Due to high uncertainties and the cost intensive nature of well operations, accurate forecast of well cost and duration is one of the main requirements for writing an AFE and supporting decision making processes. Traditionally, ...

Borehole fluid injection is commonly used for geological sequestration of carbon dioxide, underground storage of natural gas, waste injections, and during stimulations and development of geothermal and hydrocarbon reservoirs. ...

Rate of penetration (ROP) is one of the most critical parameters affecting virtually all drilling characteristics including technical, operational, economical, safety and other aspects of it. ROP evaluation may provide ...

Utilization of Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) features is currently one of the most widely applied technologies for production of bitumen oil in Canadian oil sand fields. However, as in most oil and gas reservoirs, ...

The three wells drilled in Fingerdjupet Sub-basin during the late 1980’s were abandoned as dry holes, resulting in little exploration interest in the sub-basin. This leaves the depositional history poorly understood, and ...

Fold-and-thrust belts (FTB) detaching on salt have a high potential for developing trap structures and host large oil and gas fields. Due to their high structural complexity and often low-quality seismic data, their ...
