Well control analysis in conventional and riserless reelwell method
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2014;, Master thesis, 2014-06-10)The oil industry is nowadays facing several problems as hydrocarbon reserves are declining and challenging areas are forced to explore. Deepwater drilling is one of these challenging areas as increased target depth results ... -
Well control and training scenarios
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2011;, Master thesis, 2011)Well control is needed during drilling operations to maintain a stable and safe well. Moving towards deeper wells with higher pressures and temperatures makes the operational working window smaller and more complicated ... -
Well control considerations in Arctic drilling
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2014;, Master thesis, 2014-06-13)As the petroleum industry is in a constant move north for new exploration and production areas, both challenges and opportunities are many. The vast majority of the northern hemisphere are characterized by low temperatures, ... -
Well control during extended reach drilling - conventional drilling compared to the reelwell drilling method
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2014;, Master thesis, 2014-06-15)Well control is always of great importance during well operations. The main purpose of well control is to keep downhole pressures in the operating window between pore and fracture pressure. In the case of a well control ... -
Well control procedures and simulations
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2011;, Master thesis, 2011)A brief introduction is given to a range of well control procedures. It was found that many of the procedures rely on a set of simplifying assumptions. This is particularly true in the hand calculations for designing a ... -
Well decommissioning using BHGE's subsea wellhead terminator
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-ISØP/2019;, Master thesis, 2019-06)The world’s portfolio of oil and gas wells are ageing. Plug and abandonment is the final and inevitable stage of every well. As a result, decommissioning is set to grow steadily in the coming years, as more and more wells ... -
Well design considerations for CO2 injection at Prelude
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2011;, Master thesis, 2011-06-15)The global economy is set to grow four-fold by 2050, promising economic benefits and a higher standard of living for millions. At the same time the global community is uniting in an effort to combat global warming. Achieving ... -
Well Design With an Environmental Focus
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IEP/2020;, Master thesis, 2020-08)The decisions made during well planning have mainly been focused on safety, cost efficiency and applicability of the design. As the climate have been getting more attention the past years, environment is now high up on the ... -
Well engineering simulation (WellPlanTM) challenges and uncertainties in drilling engineering
(Student paper, others, 2014-05-20)The report work on this laboratory simulation, will be simulated a Drilling Operation to identify the challenges that this operation carries, and how to mitigated them. Nowadays, the high demand by Operators to drill ... -
Well Modelling of H2S Production on a Field in the North Sea
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IEP/2018;, Master thesis, 2018-06)Hydrogen sulphide production can prove to be a very costly affair for exploration and production companies. Failure to implement efficient H2S control and mediation strategies can lead to a decrease in production assets, ... -
Well monitoring from om-the-fly analysis of data from Permanent Downhole Gauges (PDGs)
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IER/2019;, Master thesis, 2019-06-15)The thesis focuses on time-lapse Pressure Transient Analysis (PTA) of data acquire with Permanent Downhole Gauges (PDGs). The objective is to develop and test approaches in automation of time-lapse PTA. Helping in providing ... -
Well P&A Tubing Compaction Method Evaluation and Modelling
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2017;, Master thesis, 2017-07-13)The number of aged fields in the North Sea is increasing, and in few years, and there will be a significant increase in number of wells that need to be permanently plugged and due to low oil prices and other reasons, there ... -
Well stability in shale formations
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2014;, Master thesis, 2014-06-16)Well instability in shale formations has been a very major problem due to physiochemical interactions between drilling fluid and formation. In this thesis, chemical, thermal and diffusion effects on the well collapse ... -
