Geothermal gradient from well log data in the Froan and Gimsan basins, Norwegian Sea
(Bachelor thesis, 2023)This thesis reconstructs geothermal gradients in the Froan and Gimsan basins of the Norwegian Sea, utilizing well log data to derive a more accurate representation of the thermal regime of these basins. The study challenges ... -
Characterization and capillary pressure curve estimation of clayey-silt sediment in gas hydrate reservoirs of the South China Sea
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The capillary pressure curve is a crucial basis for studying the pore structure and multiphase flow characteristics in oil and gas reservoirs. Due to the loose and unconsolidated nature of the clayey-silt sediment of natural ... -
Evaluation of Surface-Active Ionic Liquids in Smart Water for Enhanced Oil Recovery in Carbonate Rocks
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Ionic modification of injected brines (Smart Water EOR) has previously demonstrated great potential for wettability alteration in carbonates from initially mixed-wet toward more water-wet conditions. However, the efficiency ... -
Bayesian interactive decision support for multi-attribute problems with even swaps
(Master thesis, 2022)Even swaps (ES) is a multi-criteria decision-making method introduced by Hammond et al. (1998) that makes it easier for decision makers (DMs) to make trade-offs between the decision criteria. The ES method can be further ... -
Numerical modelling of a high temperature borehole thermal energy storage system: Norway case study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Global warming is threatening life on earth. Utilising renewable energy is considered as the most effective measure to minimise anthropogenic CO2 emissions. High-temperature borehole thermal energy storage (BTES) systems ... -
Review of Different Methods for Identification of Transients in Pressure Measurements by Permanent Downhole Gauges Installed in Wells
