Tectono-stratigraphic development of the Cenozoic sedimentary succession of the shallow water Norwegian Sea
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2016;, Master thesis, 2016-06-15)The understanding of Cenozoic sedimentary succession in the Norwegian Sea (62°N- 69°N) has proven to be important in petroleum exploration endeavors in the Norwegian Sea. The purpose of this study was to improve the ... -
Tectonostratigraphic Evolution of the Barbados Accretionary Prism and the Tobago Basin: Implications for Petroleum Systems
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2016;, Master thesis, 2016-06-15)The Barbados accretionary prism is the only commercially hydrocarbon producing prism in the world. However, the offshore region is still underexplored and only one well has been drilled. Due to this there is poor understanding ... -
Temperature effects in low salinity waterflooding
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2012;, Master thesis, 2012)In the past years it has been observed that low salinity floods often lead to production of additional oil recovery. Several theories have been proposed as explanation for improved oil recovery, though the key mechanism ... -
