An Introduction to the Welltec Annular Barrier and its Interaction with the Open Hole Formation
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2017;, Master thesis, 2017-06)Developments in drilling have opened for the construction of extended reach wells. They can have large intermediate and reservoir sections, which may need zonal isolation. To isolate the different zones, Welltec has developed ... -
An investigation into the heat transfer process in petroleum wells, and a comprehensive modeling study investigating the temperature distribution in production wells
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2017;, Master thesis, 2017-06-15)When producing hot fluid from a reservoir, the production well experiences changing temperatures with depth for the different tubing, casing, cement and wellbore interfaces. To what extent the temperatures change is depending ... -
An optimization study of current drill bit technology for the Troll Field, Norway
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2012;, Master thesis, 2012)In the current study geology, drill bit technology and drilling challenges at the Troll Field are mapped. It has been established that the Troll Reservoir Formation consists of unconsolidated shallow marine sandstone ... -
Analysis of 3D post-stack data from offshore east Scotland
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2012;, Master thesis, 2012-06-29)This study concentrates on reprocessing a cube of post-stack 3D seismic data from offshore East Scotland to improve resolution of the data. The main application of the reprocessing is to allow for a better interpretation ... -
Analysis of borehole failure related to bedding plane
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2011;, Master thesis, 2011)Borehole instabilities during drilling are more common in shale formations than in most other rock formations. Shale make up more than 80% of sediments and rocks in siliciclastic environments and about three quarters of ... -
Analysis of drill-string based on case study of ultra-deep drilling on Kola Peninsula.
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2015;, Master thesis, 2015-06)The topic of the following project is devoted to the theme of drilling of the ultra-deep wells and in particular to the optimization of the length of dual aluminum-steel drill string as a one of the concept which have been ... -
Analysis of drilled wells on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS)
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2013;, Master thesis, 2013-06-17)Safe drilling operations are a result of integrated geo-mechanical engineering and drillstring mechanical engineering. Torque and drag modeling is used by the oil and gas industry in all phases of drilling a well: Planning, ... -
Analysis of Factors Contributing to Long Term Shallow Gas Migration to Seabed in Surface Casing Annulus
