Streaming potential - qualification of method and investigating the impact of brine in sandstone core plugs
(Master thesis, 2017-06-15)Streaming potential is an electrokinetic phenomenon caused by relative motion of ions close to a charged surface when a fluid moves past it. By measuring the streaming potential, information related to the surface ... -
Streaming Potential in Porous Media - Single and Two-Phase
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2017;, Master thesis, 2017-06)The streaming potential method is a promising method to measure how surface potential change when different fluids are injected into a rock. The understanding of how and why the surface potential changes can give important ... -
Strength development of aplite-based geopolymer cements
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2013;, Master thesis, 2013-05-21)The purpose of this work is to investigate and develop aplite-based geopolymer as an alternative material for Portland cement. This was done by conducting a series of experiments using an Ultrasonic Cement Analysis (UCA) ... -
Structural analysis of the Tabaco anticline, Cerrejon mine, Northern Colombia (South America)
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2013;, Master thesis, 2013-06-13)The Tabaco anticline is located in the Cesar-Ranchería basin of northern Colombia, South America, close to the transpressional collision between the Caribbean and South American plates. The anticline is bounded by the ... -
Structural evolution and fluvio-deltaic sedimentary architecture in salt-influenced rift-basins - examples from the Snadd Formation in the Nordkapp and Tiddlybanken basins
(Master thesis, 2016)The Nordkapp and Tiddlybanken basins are examples of salt sedimentary basins with thick successions of Triassic-Middle Jurassic fluvio-deltaic basin infill in the Barents Sea. The Middle to Upper Triassic Snadd Formation ... -
Structural uncertainty in assisted history matching
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2014;, Master thesis, 2014-06-16)Uncertainty in the building of a 3D geo-model process is a result of our limited knowledge of the actual condition (Bratvold, R. B. and Begg, S. H., 2010). Many interpretations, analogues, estimations and simplifications ... -
Study of a model for spontaneous imbibition as a mechanism for oil recovery in naturally fractured reservoirs
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2014;, Master thesis, 2014-06-10)One of the principal recovery mechanisms in Naturally Fractured Reservoirs (NFRs) is spontaneous imbibition. Understanding the parameters affecting spontaneous imbibition is the first step to achieve optimum oil recovery ... -
Study of CO2 effect on asphaltene precipitation and compositional simulation of asphaltenic oil reservoir
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2010;, Master thesis, 2010)A model which is based on Flory-Huggins polymer-solution theory and Hildebrand solubility concept has been developed which shows an excellent match with experimental data. The fine-tuned model is then possible to predict ... -
Study of CO2 properties and transportation for injection well into reservoir
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2007, Master thesis, 2007)One of the possible solutions to reduce CO2 emission in atmosphere is to inject for storage in reservoir. This action is known as the residual gas geological storage project. One of the important aspects in this project ... -
