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 ... -
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, ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Geomechanical response to CO2 injection in the Smeaheia field, Norwegian North Sea
Nordstrøm, Bendik (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2017;, Master thesis, 2019-01-07) -
The impact of salt tectonics on the Mesozoic sedimentation and petroleum systems of the Norwegian Barents Sea
Rojo Moraleda, Luis Alberto (PhD thesis UiS;540, Doctoral thesis, 2020-09)In the Norwegian Barents Sea, Mesozoic and Cenozoic mobilization of Pennsylvanian-lower Permian layered evaporite sequences (LES) resulted in areas with salt tectonics (e.g. Nordkapp, Tromsø and Tiddlybanken basins), which ... -
Modeling of turbidite systems in deep-water, thrust-related bivergent anticlines
Jaimes Duarte, Yvonne (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IER/2019;, Master thesis, 2019-06)In deep-water fold and thrust belts, thrust-related folds that switch vergence along strike can occur and are considered to have a major impact on reservoir distribution (Higgins et al., 2009). Syn-sedimentary processes ... -
Predictive Dynamic Models of the Upper Jurassic Ula Fm Aquifer Between the Ula and Oda Fields, Norwegian Central Graben, North Sea
Ghesla Rossetti, Isabella (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IER/2020;, Master thesis, 2020-07-15)The Ula and Oda oil fields in the southern part of the Norwegian Central Graben have high quality Upper Jurassic sandstone reservoirs from the shallow marine Ula Fm. Pressure data from the Oda field indicates communication ... -
Quantitative seismic interpretation using converted PS waves: A case study from the Oseberg South Field, North Sea
Frette, Lars Ulsund (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IER/2018;, Master thesis, 2018-06)The converted wave (PS) seismic in combination with the compressional wave (PP) seismic may help in better description and understanding of subsurface stratigraphic and structural features. Since compressional and shear ... -
