Analysis of the de-rated Burst and Collapse Resistance of a Locally Worn Tubing by using the Finite Element Method and API models
(Master thesis, 2017-06-15)A well integrity survey performed by the Petroleum Safety Authority showed that tubing related problems are a major issue on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. Caliper log runs carried out by ConocoPhillips revealed that the ... -
Analysis of the factors influencing the annulus pressure far away from downhole pressure measurements
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2013;, Master thesis, 2013-06-14)In any drilling operation, it is important to maintain the annulus pressure within the geo-pressure margins (collapse and pore pressure on one side and fracturing pressure on the other side). The downhole pressure management ... -
Analysis of the factors that affect the target depth in deviated wells
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2013;, Master thesis, 2013-06-17)This thesis presents the analysis of the factors that affect the target depth. Depth measurement is one the most important parameter and most difficult to identify. For the target depth meas ... -
Analyzing vertical lift performance in a complex gas lift well gometry
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2012;, Master thesis, 2012)This study mainly investigates the vertical lift performance in a complex gas lift well geometry. Prosper is used to do gas lift design. OLGA is used to analyze the dynamic well behavior based on the gas lift design from ... -
Analyzing zonal well performance measured by production logging from Snorre A
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2013;, Master thesis, 2013)This thesis seeks to investigate zonal well performance on the Snorre A field. The goal is to further understand the value and limitations of the expected performance based on theoretically calculated data versus the actual ... -
Application and design of passive inflow control devices on the Eni Goliat oil producer wells
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2010;, Master thesis, 2010)During the recent years installation of ICD completions has become more common in new wells. ICDs have proven to be an operationally simple and reliable completion solution. The primary benefits of installing ICDs are ... -
Application of a bayesian framework to decision making regarding maintenance and intervention of subsea water injection pumps
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2007, Master thesis, 2007)As more and more oil fields in the North Sea are developed as subsea fields, the monitoring and maintenance availability is becoming difficult to perform on the equipment used for subsea boosting. Often maintenance is ... -
Application of fly ash-based geopolymer as an alternative for plug and abandonment
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2013;, Master thesis, 2013-05-30)In this study fly ash-based geopolymers were produced by the alkali-activation of fly ash. The purpose was to use fly ash-based geopolymers as alternative for cement for plug and abandonment operations. Ultrasonic Cement ... -
Application of Multilateral Wells as an alternative solution for costs optimization
(UIS-TN-IEP/2018;, Master thesis, 2018-06)Field completion techniques have progressed over the last twenty years. Today, different methods of well drilling can reduce total costs spent on single well construction. Multilateral wells is the primary example of ... -
Application of petrophysical logs and failure model for prediction of sand production
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2011;, Master thesis, 2011)Prediction of sand production condition and rock failure in petroleum industry has been received lots of interests currently. Calculation of geomechanical elastic rock parameters based on the petrophysical logs is one of ... -
Application of thermo-mechanically treated drill cuttings as an alternative to bentonite in spud muds
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2014;, Master thesis, 2014-05-22)Drill cuttings recovered after drilling with OBM today are treated and deposited at onshore facilities. The TWMA Company offers a new technology, which recovers drilled subsurface materials together with oil and water ... -
