      Solvi, Lars-Jørgen Sandvik (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2012;, Master thesis, 2012)
      The well construction time and cost on the Norwegian Continental Shelf has increased drastically since 2001. The production is declining and there is a strong need to bring more wells on production while at the same time ...

    • Thermal recovery of heavy oil by (steam-assisted gravity drainage) SAGD method 

      Romanov, Alexander (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2011;, Master thesis, 2011)
