• Emergency operation of a subsea drilling blowout preventer 

      Kozel, Kiryl (Master thesis, 2015-06)
      The world-scale disaster in the Gulf of Mexico on 20 April 2011 drew the attention of the authorities and oil and gas companies to the reliability of the blowout preventer systems. The efficiency of emergency preparedness ...
    • Low cost deep water wells 

      Gundersen, John Normann (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKM/2012;, Master thesis, 2012)
      A major cost-factor of drilling deep water wells today is associated with the high day rates of the larger rigs capable of drilling in such depths. Most subsea completions today are based on the 18-3/4” wellheads system. ...
    • Modelling safety critical BOP closing times for arbitrary BOP control systems 

      Haga, Øystein Angelskår (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKM/2012;, Master thesis, 2012)
      There are presently no recommended practises, defined by standards, for closing time calculation of Blow Out Preventers (BOPs), when designing BOP control systems. As the closing time is a safety critical design parameter ...
