A study of the effect of pumps and desanding cyclones on oil droplets in produced water
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2009;, Master thesis, 2011)The production of petroleum resources includes co-producing water. This water contains oil products and needs to be treated before discharge to sea or re-injection into the reservoir. The amount of produced water increases ... -
Adsorption of the phytoestrogens, genistein and daidzein, onto the iro oxide-hydroxide goethite
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2012;, Master thesis, 2012)Genistein and daidzein are plant-derived compounds called phytoestrogens, and they are found in high concentrations in legumes, primarily soy. Phytoestrogens function as endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) in animals ... -
Aerobic biological treatment of produced water from oil production
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2011;, Master thesis, 2011)Produced water is the largest waste stream generated from the oil and gas industry. Water of varying quantities is always produced along with oil and has to be separated from the oil. The amount of produced water generated ... -
Alpha-Synuclein and synuceinopathies as related to Parkinson's disease
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2017;, Master thesis, 2017-06-15)Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a chronic, progressive, complex, age-related and movement neurodegenerative disorder, caused by the loss of dopaminergic neurons in a small portion of cells within the mid brain known as the ... -
An analysis of asset availability performance: a practical determination of well system reliability and maintainability.
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKM/2016;, Master thesis, 2016-06-15)With decreasing oil prices, optimizing existing production is essential to generate as much revenue as possible. When the product sold decreases in value, more volume is required to maintain the revenue levels. Therefore, ... -
An investigation of permeability and porosity evolution of Kansas chalk under in-situ conditions
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2013;, Master thesis, 2013)Injections of brine into the chalk can leads to compaction. The chemical impacts of water injection on the mechanical strength of chalk have been investigating for several years. Also, porosity and permeability evolution ... -
