Micro- and nano-analyses of fracture-filling after flooding on-shore chalk with different IOR fluids
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IER/2018;, Master thesis, 2018-06-22)Water injection into the Ekofisk-reservoir was introduced in 1987 to enhance oil recovery (EOR) dissolution and precipitation by exposing chalk to various brines at reservoir conditions, which further increased deformation ... -
Automated MPD level in the oil and gas industry and development possibility
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2015;, Master thesis, 2015-06)Automation is introduced to the industrial field long time ago, but still in its first steps in the oil and gas industry. There are many reasons led to this slow of automation in this industry. These reasons related to the ... -
MWCNT and SiO2 Nanoparticle Enhanced Drilling Fluid Formulation and Characterization: Experimental and Simulation studies
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2017;, Master thesis, 2018-02-12)In recent years the application of nanotechnology has shown impressive results in improving the performance of drilling fluid, enhanced oil recovery and in cement. However, the research and development based on nanotechnology ... -
The Cook Formation Reservoir Architecture, Stratigraphy and Paleogeography in the Tampen Spur Area
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2017;, Master thesis, 2017-12-19)This thesis describes the development of the prograding and aggrading, Lower Jurassic Cook Formation across Knarr Field and Garantiana discovery located in the Tampen Spur area in the Northern North Sea. 11 facies, 5 ... -
Subsurface investigation in the Gulf of Corinth (GoC), Greece
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2017;, Master thesis, 2017-08-11)Corinth Rift is an excellent rift laboratory to study the rift processes occurring during the early and late stages of continental extension due to exposure of a series of half-graben structures at the southern margin. ... -
High-resolution heavy mineral studies on “black sands” from the Nama Group (Fish River Subgroup) in Namibia – Part II.
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2017;, Master thesis, 2017-07)“Black sands” from a presumed heavy mineral placer of the Nama Group in Namibia will be studied in detail. The samples for this thesis are collected from various outcrops belonging to the Fish River Subgroup in the Nababis ... -
