Effect of Initial Wettability on Rock Mechanics and Oil Recovery: Comparative Study on Outcrop Chalks
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Brines containing surface-active divalent ions such as Ca2+, Mg2+ and SO42− impact the stiffness, strength and time-dependent deformation of water wet Mons outcrop chalk. This study documents how stiffness and strength of ... -
The Middle Jurassic to lowermost Cretaceous in the SW Barents Sea: Interplay between tectonics, coarse-grained sediment supply and organic matter preservation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Syn‐rift successions contain both prolific organic‐rich and coarse‐grained rocks, but these rocks are usually studied independently. Thus, the interplay among organic matter deposition, tectonics and sediment supply is not ... -
Core wettability reproduction: A new solvent cleaning and core restoration strategy for chalk cores
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Laboratory core restoration procedures include different core cleaning solvents, establishment of initial water saturation (Swi) by diverse techniques and processes of crude oil exposure that influence the final core wetting ... -
Rigorous Connectionist Models to Predict Carbon Dioxide Solubility in Various Ionic Liquids

Architecture of shoreface to deep-water systems in segmented rift systems: Evidence from the southern margin of the Sogn Graben, northern North Sea
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-03)Naturally fractured reservoirs are highly dependent on capillary forces to recover hydrocarbons during water injection. Water can spontaneously imbibe and expel oil if positive capillary forces exist; purely counter-current ... -
Interpretation of 1-D Counter-Current Spontaneous Imbibition Processes Using Microscopic Diffusion Theory and a Modified Buckley – Leverett Approach
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-04)This paper presents a new convenient and easy-to-use method to analyze and calculate measurable quantities in 1-D counter-current (COUC) spontaneous imbibition (SI) processes. Cumulative water imbibed vs time can be ... -
Steady State Relative Permeability Experiments with Capillary End Effects: Analytical Solutions including Derivation of the Intercept Method
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-04)Steady state relative permeability experiments are performed by coinjection of two (or more) immiscible fluids. The relative permeabilities can be calculated directly from the stabilized pressure drop and saturation of the ... -
Multi-Criteria spatial-based modelling for optimal alignment of roadway by-passes in the Tlokweng Planning Area, Botswana
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-05)In this study, Spatial Multi-Criteria Evaluation and the least cost path analysis were applied to find the optimal by-pass road alignment in the Tlokweng Planning Area in Botswana. One-At-a-Time sensitivity analysis and ... -
Effects of permeability on CO2 dissolution and convection at reservoir temperature and pressure conditions: A visualization study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-06)When CO2 is injected into aquifers, CO2 will dissolve into the water phase. CO2 dissolution initiated by diffusion, will increase the density of the water phase and thereby commence the convective flow of CO2. The objective ... -
