Low-frequency reflection seismic and direct hydrocarbon indication
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2014;, Master thesis, 2014-06)Low-frequency reflection seismic has been used as an indicator to detect hydrocarbons in petroliferous reservoirs. A number of spectral decomposition methods have been developed to derive seismic from time to frequency ... -
Low-frequency seismic analysis and direct hydrocarbon indicators
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2016;, Master thesis, 2016-06)Low-frequency seismic analysis has been used as a possible direct indicator of the presence of hydrocarbons in reservoirs. Laboratory examples, synthetic studies and field examples in oil and gas exploration suggest ... -
Mechanical modeling of salt-influenced extensional forced folding
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2016;, Master thesis, 2016-06-15)Scaled and numerical models show that the existence of an evaporite viscous layer (e.g. salt) facilitates the development of extensional forced folds related to basement normal faults. The geometries of the extensional ... -
Micro- and nano-applications to monitor the rock-fluid interaction in fractured chalk
(Master thesis, 2015-06)The aim of this project is to contribute to the research of improved oil recovery (IOR) through studying the formation of new mineral phases in a fractured Cretaceous onshore chalk core, flooded with synthetic seawater ... -
Middle Jurassic Brent Group fault seal prediction Oseberg
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2016;, Master thesis, 2016-06-15)This thesis provide a case-study of fault-seal characteristics and consequently the retained hydrocarbon column heights in the Oseberg area. The interpretation of the Oseberg structure utilized seismic and well data to map ... -
Modeling synrift sediment infill patterns of synthetic normal faults
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2015;, Master thesis, 2016-01)Previous studies of normal faulting and their control on sedimentation have largely focussed on geometrical infill patterns from a two dimensional perspective. In order to overcome this a series of 3D models have been ... -
Paleogeographic reconstruction of the northern Caribbean region from Late Cretaceous to the Recent
(Master thesis, 2014-06-16)The northern Caribbean region is geologically complex region and is located between two large hydrocarbon provinces (Gulf of Mexico and the South American continental margins). Using a mega-regional dataset that includes ... -
Permo-Triassic and Post-Rift Halokinesis in the Norwegian-Danish Basin
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2016;, Master thesis, 2016-06-15)The area of investigation is located in the Norwegian sector of the Norwegian-Danish Basin (NDB) and covers an area of ~20,000 km2 between the Stavanger Platform and the Central Graben. This basin is a Late Permian rift-basin, ... -
Petrophysical characterization of the Lower Cretaceous clastic wedges in the northwestern Barents Sea
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2015;, Master thesis, 2015-06-15)The results of the petrophysical evaluation of four turbidite systems located along the flanks of the Hammerfest Basin, in the southwestern Barents Sea, are presented in this master thesis. These systems are the reservoir ... -
Play based evaluation of the eastern margin of Nordland Ridge, Norwegian Sea.
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2016;, Master thesis, 2016-06-15)The main objective of this study is produce a petroleum system evaluation of potential plays along the eastern margin of the Nordland Ridge. The area of study consists of two major tectonic structures; the Nordland Ridge ... -
Raman spectroscopy applied to enhanced oil recovery research
(Master thesis, 2015-06-09)It is well established that aqueous chemistry affects the mechanical strength of chalk. Seawater tends to weaken chalk at reservoir temperatures and consequently the recovery rate. As more than 50 % of the oil in existing ... -
Reservoir characterization of Sognefjord and Fensfjord formations across Gjøa field, North Sea, Norway
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2013;, Master thesis, 2013-06-17)The Gjøa field was discovered in 1989 and first production started in 2010 located about 40 kilometers north of the Fram field. The reservoir contains gas above a relatively thin oil zone in Jurassic sandstones in the ... -
