Enhanced oil recovery in limestone. Chemical effects of seawater injection on the rock surface at different temperatures
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2007, Master thesis, 2007)The fluid location, flow and distribution in a reservoir rock are to a large extent governed by the wetting condition of the rock. These factors influence oil and gas production, water flood recovery and the performance ... -
EOR in chalk: Optimized oil recovery with modified seawater
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2011;, Master thesis, 2011)The effect of using seawater or modified seawater as a wettability modifier in chalk has been previously investigated at higher temperatures. This work has shown that “smart water” improves the oil recovery due to ... -

(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2017;, Master thesis, 2017-06-15)The scope of the thesis was inspired by the studies of CO2 storage in saline aquifers containing faults conducted at IRIS within the ENOS project1. In storage site evaluations, assessing and preventing leakage from the ... -
Evaluating provenance techniques in the hydrocarbon industry: Compositional quantification of modern sands from known tectonic settings as analog for the correlation of hydrocarbon bearing rocks in ancient geological settings.
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2012;, Master thesis, 2012)Major and trace element analyses show different compositions between the sediments of the Karmøy southeast shoreline and the sediments of northern Randaberg. Also supported form petrographic analyses, the Karmøy samples ... -
Evaluating the potential of low-salinity water flooding to enhance the oil recovery in limestone reservoir
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2011;, Master thesis, 2011)In this project, the potential of low salinity brine to enhance the oil recovery has been studied. Four flooding tests were conducted both on limestone cores containing anhydrite and chalk core containing no sulfate. -
Evaluation of a method of placing cross-sectional barriers during permanent plugging of wells
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2010;, Master thesis, 2010)When oil and gas wells reach the end of their production life, they need to be permanently plugged and abandoned. The requirements for a permanent barrier state that it must cover the entire cross-section of the wellbore, ... -
Evaluation of artificial lift methods on the Gyda field
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2009, Master thesis, 2009)Since a production peak in 1995 the oil production on the Gyda field has decreased. Water cut is increasing and reservoir pressure is decreasing. This thesis is a study of the artificial lift methods being evaluated to ... -
Evaluation of Downhole Tubing Disposal for Permanent Plug and Abandonment
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2017;, Master thesis, 2017-06-15)A new method called Downhole Tubing Disposal developed by Oilfield Innovations for performing rigless permanent plug and abandonment is presented. Instead of pulling the production tubing, the tubing is weakened with ... -
Evaluation of experimental methods to determine wettability
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2010;, Master thesis, 2010)Two methods to evaluate the wettability of carbonates have been investigated: Aqueous cationic surfactant solutions contact angles on oil-wet calcite crystals, and imbibition time of surfactant drops into oil-wet ... -
Evaluation of Foam Cementing the Reservoir Liner in Deviated Wells on the Ekofisk M Platform
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2009;, Master thesis, 2009)Foam cementing the reservoir liner has proven to be a good solution for achieving zonal isolation due to its low permeability and high compressive strength. However, out of the 32 reservoir liners cemented on the Ekofisk ... -
Evaluation of hydro acoustic condition monitoring of subsea processing equipment
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2011;, Master thesis, 2011)The project described in this thesis is based on the perceived fact that a need for advancements in monitoring technology results from the development of more complex subsea equipment. An existing type of hydro acoustic ... -
Evaluation of kick and loss scenarios in experimental lab facility
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2012;, Master thesis, 2012)Detection and evaluation of gain and loss situations is crucial for safety during drilling operations. During managed pressure drilling there is higher risk of kicks than during traditional drilling. Early stage detection ... -
Evaluation of low salinity injection EOR potential in Johan Sverdrup Field
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2017;, Master thesis, 2017)Low salinity waterflooding is an EOR method that doesn’t get mentioned as much as other EOR methods in the current oil industry, but its recognition has been raised in the last few years and BP is also using their own low ... -
