      Spontaneous imbibition (SI) is the main recovery mechanism in low matrix perme- ability, naturally fractured reservoirs. However, for imbibition to occur, the reservoir rock should be preferentially water-wet. Several ...

    • Numerical simulation of surfactant flooding in mixed wet reservoirs 

      Aslam, Usman (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2010;, Master thesis, 2010)
      Surfactants have been considered for enhanced oil recovery either by reduction of oil–water interfacial tension (IFT) or through wettability alteration. This study reveals the effect that reduced interfacial tension has ...

    • Numerical treatment of two-phase flow in capillary heterogeneous porous media by finite-volume approximations 

      Evje, Steinar; Friis, Helmer André (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)
      This paper examines two-phase flow in porous media with heterogeneous capillary pressure functions. This problem has received very little attention in the literature, and constitutes a challenge for numerical discretization, ...

    • Offshore Exploratory Drilling Campaigns During Low Oil Price Period: Maximizing Value Creation from Flexibility 

      Cardenas, Camilo (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2017;, Master thesis, 2017-06-15)
      During severe oil price downturns, many operating companies reduce or eliminate large investments with long time horizons such as exploratory drilling campaigns. This reduction in investments forces rig and drilling services ...

    • Offshore ledelse og endring: Hvordan støtte utvikling og implementering av ISSOW (integrated safe system of work) 

      Skipenes, Anne Kristin (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2016;, Master thesis, 2016-12)
      Som operatør av Ekofisk feltet har ConocoPhillips Norge kontinuerlig jobbet med å redusere sannsynligheten for hendelser med storulykkes potensial. Innen næringen har det vært fokus på å arbeide med å redusere storulykkesrisiko ...

    • On the activation energy for the formation of a critical size water cluster in structure I and structure II gas hydrates 

      Høvring, Eirik (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2012;, Master thesis, 2012)
      In the present thesis, experiments have been performed in order to study the activation energy for the formation of a stable, critical size water cluster in structure I and structure II gas hydrates. This activation energy ...

    • Optimization of a Saldanadi gas field of Bangladesh 

      Salekin, Shah Md. Sirajus (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2011;, Master thesis, 2011)
