Optimization of chemical and mechanical disintegration process of drilling fluids.
(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. ... -
Optimization of Wastewater Treatment Plant, SAR Treatment Tananger
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2016;, Master thesis, 2016-06)The focus of this thesis is optimization of the wastewater treatment plant, SART owned by SAR AS. Based on an evaluation of the present treatment condition, capacity and limitations, performance of the plant has been ... -
Organic flow assurance, pour point depressant development through experimental design
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2012;, Master thesis, 2012-07-03)Flow assurance is of great importance in the oil and gas industry, where the main objective is to provide and secure the transport of the well stream fluid from the reservoir to the process facilities. The main challenges ... -
Organic flow assurance: Asphaltene dispersant/inhibitor formulation development through experimental design
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2012;, Master thesis, 2012)The exploitation of hydrocarbon has forced the petroleum production to move closer to extreme climate areas and deep waters such as the Barents Sea. These challenges require effective and safe production, transport and ... -
Paramagnetism shielding in drilling fluid
(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 ... -
