      Tveitan, Knut (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 

      Brekke, Alexander (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 ...

      Ayoub, Amr (Master thesis, 2017-06-15)
      This study investigates the adsorption potential of NPs in Chalk cores and the possible EOR mechanisms behind it. The work is divided into two major sets of experiments; static adsorption experiments and core flooding ...

    • Two-Dimensional Fluid Flow in Heterogeneous Porous Media Using Finite Analytic Method 

      Aqrawi, Abdul-Razzaq (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2017;, Master thesis, 2017-06)
      This study started by exploring the different discretization methods that have been explored and developed throughout the years for reservoir simulators. Understanding simulators in general and how they are used in the oil ...

    • Underwater robotics in the future of arctic oil and gas operations 

      Kuzmicheva, Lina (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2017;, Master thesis, 2017-06-15)
      Arctic regions have lately been in the centre of increasing attention due to high vulnerability to climate change and the retreat in sea ice cover. Commercial actors are exploring the Arctic for new shipping routes and ...

    • Uniform Corrosion and Its Effect on Tubing Simulation Study 

      Puspitarini, Nikka (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2017;, Master thesis, 2017-07-13)
      The API Barlow and the Tri-axial equations cannot be applied to predict burst pressure in the case of pitting corrosion. The main reason for this is that these models are derived from continuum mechanics, but fracture ...

    • Upscaling of gas relative permeability during pressure depletion 

      Grepstad, Kristian (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2011;, Master thesis, 2011)
      Pressure depletion of an oil reservoir will result in release of dissolved gas when the bubble point of the oil is reached in the reservoir. This liberated gas will segregate upwards in the reservoir with low mobility until ...

    • Use of AUSMV scheme for simulation of particle transport 

      Iqbal, Mohammed Ahmed (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2015;, Master thesis, 2015-06-15)
