The risk of using risk matrices
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2013;, Master thesis, 2013-06-25)The risk matrix (RM) is a widely espoused approach to assess and analyze risks in the oil & gas (O&G) industry. RMs have been implemented throughout that industry and are extensively used in risk-management contexts. This ... -
The tectono-stratigraphic evolution of the greater Mandal High area, Southern North Sea, Norway
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2011;, Master thesis, 2011)A 3D seismic cube combined with well data from ten exploration wells are used to form a model of the tectono-stratigraphic evolution of the Greater Mandal High Area, Southern North Sea, Norway. The data defines the ... -
The Upper Brent Stratigraphy and Reservoir Architecture in the Deep Northern Viking Graben
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2016;, Master thesis, 2016-06-15)This thesis describes the development of the regressive-to-transgressive shoreline prisms within the Middle Jurassic Tarbert Formation in the Martin Linge-Oseberg west flank and the Valemon-Kvitebjørn area in the Northern ... -
The use of alternative materials for drill pipe to extend drilling reach in shallow reservoirs
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2012;, Master thesis, 2012)One of the limiting factors for extended reach and horizontal drilling is high torque and drag values. One way to reduce torque & drag is to reduce the weight of the drill pipe by exchanging the standard steel with other ... -
The value of drilling optimization
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2012;, Master thesis, 2012)The well construction time and cost on the Norwegian Continental Shelf has increased drastically since 2001. The production is declining and there is a strong need to bring more wells on production while at the same time ... -
The Vouraikos Valley: an example of rift segmentation in the Corinth Graben, Greece
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2015;, Master thesis, 2015-06)The Gulf of Corinth is recognized as one of the most active rift systems in the world, the study area covers an onshore rift section on the southern flank of the gulf, the northern part of Peloponnesus. The area comprises ... -
Theoretical modelling of the effect of salt precipitation on CO2 injectivity
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2017;, Master thesis, 2017-06-15)Since the industrial revolution we have produced more carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is greenhouse gas which contributes to global warming. Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS) has been working on technical solutions that will ... -
Theoretical Study on Utilization of X-ray Techniques for Verification of Casing Cement
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2017;, Master thesis, 2017-06)Establishing a hydraulic seal that prevents flow is the primary objective of any cement job, as it is essential throughout the life of a well. Evaluation of the cement in the annulus must be done to verify its quality. ... -
Thermal recovery of heavy oil by (steam-assisted gravity drainage) SAGD method
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2011;, Master thesis, 2011)This thesis presents experimental and numerical study of SAGD process. In spite of vast investigation done in literature for the area of steam injection, the mechanism(s) of heat flow in the reservoir are not fully understood. ... -
Thermo-hydraulic modeling of flow in flare systems
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2012;, Master thesis, 2012)Flare systems play a major role in the safety of Oil and Gas installations by serving as outlets for emergency pressure relief in case of process upsets. Accurate and reliable estimation of system thermo-hydraulic parameters, ... -
Thermomechanical cuttings cleaner – qualification for offshore treatment of oil contaminated cuttings on the norwegian continental shelf and martin linge case study
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2014;, Master thesis, 2014-05-28)The aim of this thesis is to introduce and qualify the Thermomechanical Cuttings Cleaner (TCC) technology for treatment of oil contaminated cuttings on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS) with particular reference to the ... -
Through tubing rotary managed pressure drilling
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2009;, Master thesis, 2009)Managed pressure drilling (MPD) has been known to the industry for a few years. MPD with the ability of coping with risky down-hole pressure situations has gained a great deal of attention. Compared to MPD, the drilling ... -
Time Estimation of Future Plug and Abandonment Operation at Brage Field
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2017;, Master thesis, 2017-06-15)Production of oil on the Norwegian continental shelf started in the early 70’s. Many of these fields are now reaching the end of their production time. The industry is now awaiting a “plug wave” in the not too distant ... -
Tools and techniques to minimize shock and vibration to the bottom hole assembly
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2014;, Master thesis, 2014-06-13)When drilling a well there is a risk of serious damage caused by drillstring vibrations. Shock and vibration are identified as a cause of premature failure on drill bit and components in the bottom hole assembly (BHA), ... -
Torque & drag analyses of North Sea Wells using new 3D model.
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2011;, Master thesis, 2011)Excessive drill string torque and drag is one of the major limitations of extended-reach and horizontal drilling. The torque and drag models are used in the planning phase and during the drilling of a well, as a tool used ... -
Torque and drag analyses of North Sea wells using new 3D model
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2011;, Master thesis, 2011)Deviated oil and gas wellbore sections keep getting longer. This is due to the fact that more fields are reaching their mature phase and due to the fact that the technical development allows us to. The number of platforms ... -
Torque and Drag Friction Model: Implemented Friction Factor Dependency of Temperature
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2016;, Master thesis, 2016-06-15)We investigated the friction factor dependency of temperature. “Friction factor” is a parameter in the calculations of torque and drag. Increased well reach is dependent on accurate torque and drag modeling. We proposed ... -
