• Destabilization and separation of drilling mud by utilizing chemicals and mechanical equipment 

      Fredvang Smith, Corinne (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2014;, Master thesis, 2014-06-25)
      The research of this thesis was aimed to test new chemical mixtures for drilling fluid waste treatment and optimize them for different type of oil-based drilling muds. The research included two steps: pre-screening and ...
    • Optimization of chemical and mechanical disintegration process of drilling fluids. 

      Myszkowska, Renata (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2015;, Master thesis, 2015-06)
      Drilling fluids are essential to conduct any drilling process. The amount of oil-based mud used daily is significant. Additives present in an oil-based mud ensure both unique properties and require proper waste treatment. ...
    • Paramagnetism shielding in drilling fluid 

      Li, Zhuo (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2013;, Master thesis, 2013)
      In drilling operations, drilling fluid containing magnetic materials is used when drilling a well. The materials can significantly shield the Earth’s magnetic field as measured by magnetic sensors inside the drilling ...
    • Plasma drilling on solar system objects 

      Asamoah Boateng, Edward Kwame (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2017;, Master thesis, 2017-06)
      The search for water, minerals and most importantly evidence of life on other objects of our solar system will require access to the subsurface for sampling and in situ investigations. Drilling is therefore needed for this ...
