Streaming potential - qualification of method and investigating the impact of brine in sandstone core plugs
(Master thesis, 2017-06-15)Streaming potential is an electrokinetic phenomenon caused by relative motion of ions close to a charged surface when a fluid moves past it. By measuring the streaming potential, information related to the surface ... -
Streaming Potential in Porous Media - Single and Two-Phase
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2017;, Master thesis, 2017-06)The streaming potential method is a promising method to measure how surface potential change when different fluids are injected into a rock. The understanding of how and why the surface potential changes can give important ... -
Techno-economic evaluation of hard rock drilling technologies - Establishing a baseline
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2017;, Master thesis, 2017-07)The industry is moving forward to drilling in harder and more abrasive formations. This challenging environment poses a challenge upon bit technologies and rate of penetration (ROP). The aim of this thesis is to gain a ... -
The Effect Of MoS2 -And Graphene Nanoparticles On The Properties & Performance Of Polymer /Salt Treated Bentonite
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Among others, properly designed drilling fluid is a key for a success of drilling operation. The rheology, and lubricity of drilling fluids control the hydraulics, hole cleaning and the mechanical friction between string ... -
The effect of redox reactions and EDTA chelation on glauconite, hematite and goethite: A flotation study
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2017;, Master thesis, 2017-06-15)Wettability is on of most important parameter of the reservoir, and to understand it is therefore of high importance (Donaldson & Alam, 2008). A sandstone reservoir can have a complexed minerology and each sandstone is ... -
Theoretical modelling of the effect of salt precipitation on CO2 injectivity
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2017;, Master thesis, 2017-06-15)Since the industrial revolution we have produced more carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is greenhouse gas which contributes to global warming. Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS) has been working on technical solutions that will ... -
Time Estimation of Future Plug and Abandonment Operation at Brage Field
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2017;, Master thesis, 2017-06-15)Production of oil on the Norwegian continental shelf started in the early 70’s. Many of these fields are now reaching the end of their production time. The industry is now awaiting a “plug wave” in the not too distant ... -
