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 ... -
Wellbore Collapse Failure Criteria and Drilling Optimization
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IEP/2019;, Master thesis, 2019-06-15)Design and planning in drilling a well are a key for successful before to execute drilling operation. A good understanding of wellbore stability, design mud, casing, cementing, BHA & drillstring, drilling bit, hole cleaning ... -
Wellbore stability analysis for an extended-reach well on Ekofisk
(Master thesis, 2022)The drilling of extended-reach wells is an increasingly common practice to reduce costs in exploration and development of mature fields. Extended-reach wells are technically challenge, as high inclination trajectories may ... -
Wellbore stability and rock mechanics study on the Ula field
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2013;, Master thesis, 2013-06-20)In the years to come more challenging drilling conditions will occur when the last reserves need to be collected. More directional drilling will be used and good wellbore conditions will be necessary to make this possible. ... -
Wellhead Fatigue Analysis : Surface casing cement boundary condition for subsea wellhead fatigue analytical models
(;163, Doctoral thesis, 2012-05-31)Material fatigue is a failure mode that has been known to researchers and engineers since the 19th century. Catastrophic accidents have happened due to fatigue failures of structures, machinery and transport vehicles. ... -
Wet Drilled Cuttings Bed Rheology
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The cuttings transport efficiency of various drilling fluids has been studied in several approaches. This is an important aspect, since hole cleaning is often a bottleneck in well construction. The studies so far have ... -
Wet-granular rheology to measure cuttings-bed strength
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Drilled cuttings-bed formation is a natural process during wellbore drilling operations, although it is not desired. To optimally remove the drilled cuttings out of the wellbore it is important to break the formed beds. ... -
Wettability alteration in carbonates : the effect of water-soluble acids in crude oil and application of enzyme for wettability alteration
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2010;, Master thesis, 2010)The objective of the project is defined in two phases. The first phase is to study the effect of oil composition and carboxylic acids in the crude oil on the wetting condition and wettability alteration process using ... -
Wettability alteration in carbonates: the effect of water-soluble carboxylic acids in crude oil
(Journal article; Peer reviewed; Doctoral thesis, 2010)Acidic components in crude oil influence the wetting condition through their effect on electrostatic interactions with the mineral surfaces. In this paper, we have extracted water-soluble acids from a crude oil with a high ... -
Wettability in chalk, effect of initial water saturation on the adsorption of polar oil components
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2016;, Master thesis, 2016-06)Experimental study of wettability alteration was aimed at three laboratory designated chalk material, collected from the same reservoir block, at different initial water saturations (0%, 10%, and 40%). Crude oil sample ... -
