How can Organizational Behavior Management contribute towards a better Work Environment in an Organization? Exploring Evidence-Based Practices
(Master thesis, 2021)Over the past decades, there has been an emerging necessity to tackle issues faced by organizations in an effective and sustained manner. Research findings have laid a lot weight on using evidence-based practices that ... -
Development, design and construction of drum cage for a module based offshore wireline winch
(Master thesis, 2021)This thesis focusses on the development of a new conceptual Drum Cage Unit (DCU) which will ease and reduce the cost of wireline well intervention. Well intervention is an important part of the petroleum industry assuring ... -
Conceptual Design and Feasibility Study for a Generic Connector for Subsea Fluid Transfer
(Master thesis, 2021)Hot stabs are connectors for subsea fluid transfer between Remote Operated Vehicle (ROV) power sources and subsea equipment. Current hot stab solutions, that are compliant with industry standards, have significant limitations ... -
Development of Charging Tower for Shuttle Boats
(Master thesis, 2021)The companies Lyse AS, Stavangerregionen Havn IKS and Kolumbus has acquired electric shuttle boats to be used for sightseeing in Stavanger. Currently, there are no charging setup intended for the shuttle boats. The goal ... -
Maintenance Optimization for Drilling HPU using Proportional Hazard Model

Conceptual design and feasibility study of wet mate electric stab
(Master thesis, 2021)In the last years, Oceaneering has had an idea they want to further explore. The idea revolves around a new approach to subsea power and communication transfer. It is intended to give a cost-reducing alternative to the ... -
Numerical study on controller of offshore wind turbine and its effect on turbine loads
(Master thesis, 2021)The primary objective of this thesis is to evaluate the controller behavior of a large-scale wind turbine and investigate how the controller design can affect the fatigue damage for the turbine. In addition, it is interesting ... -
Numerical study of two typical Norwegian gravity-based fish cages with different cage shapes and weights
(Master thesis, 2021)Fish cages usually have net deformation in marine environments, and this deformation can reduce the cultivation volume of the fish cage and thus reduce the fish welfare. Hence, it is necessary to understand the structural ... -
Life-Cycle Assessment of Buildings at Design Stage: Case Study
(Master thesis, 2021)A life-cycle assessment of project Langhus Gård, a residential building in Nordre Follo. The focus of the LCA is to compare timber and steel studs in outer walls, as well as providing guidelines for merge between BIM (Revit) ... -
Market-analysis of software for predictive maintenance solutions inthe Norwegian petroleum industry
(Master thesis, 2021)The Norwegian petroleum industry is currently undergoing a drastic technological change, often termed Industry 4.0. With this change, new innovative capabilities emerge across all operations and disciplines. Predictive ... -
Statistical evaluation of fatigue lives of offshore tubular joints.
(Master thesis, 2021)Fatigue design in offshore structures is based on S-N curves derived from tests on tubular joints where failure is defined as penetration of wall thickness. However, in practice, fatigue cracks are likely to continue to ... -
The effect of injecting CO2 in fresh concrete with different content of slag in the binder.
(Master thesis, 2021) -
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Investigations of flow past subsea cover
(Master thesis, 2021)Glass reinforced plastic (GRP) subsea protection covers are often used to protect offshore pipelines, umbilicals and other important subsea structures from dropped objects released from offshore oil and gas and fishing ... -
Shipping Container Impact with Bridge Girders
(Master thesis, 2021)Aluminium bridge decks have been proposed as alternatives to traditional steel bridge decks. These girders can meet all design criteria for bridges and have the advantages of low density and high corrosion resistance. ... -
Implementation of 5S Management in Battery Industry: A Case Study
(Master thesis, 2021)Over the last few years, the rapid growth and vigorous development of the lithium-ion battery industry is obvious. The overall production and market scale of global lithium-ion batteries have grown rapidly, and the technology ... -
Structural reliability and optimal design of fixed jacket of offshore wind turbine
(Master thesis, 2021)The assessment of structural reliability for offshore wind turbines (OWTs) is challenging. The environmental conditions and loads on a wind turbine have large variability. Wind and wave act simultaneously on the structures, ... -
Framework for Effective Spare Parts Management in Late-Life/End-Life From Planning to Decommissioning & Removal
(Master thesis, 2021)The Norwegian oil and gas industry is at an earlier stage of maturity. As the end of the lifecycle for an offshore asset is approaching, decommissioning activities must be initiated. The decommissioning process is the final ...
