(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2013;, Master thesis, 2013-05-30)In this study fly ash-based geopolymers were produced by the alkali-activation of fly ash. The purpose was to use fly ash-based geopolymers as alternative for cement for plug and abandonment operations. Ultrasonic Cement ... -
Application of Multilateral Wells as an alternative solution for costs optimization
(UIS-TN-IEP/2018;, Master thesis, 2018-06)Field completion techniques have progressed over the last twenty years. Today, different methods of well drilling can reduce total costs spent on single well construction. Multilateral wells is the primary example of ... -
Application of petrophysical logs and failure model for prediction of sand production
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2011;, Master thesis, 2011)Prediction of sand production condition and rock failure in petroleum industry has been received lots of interests currently. Calculation of geomechanical elastic rock parameters based on the petrophysical logs is one of ... -
Application of thermo-mechanically treated drill cuttings as an alternative to bentonite in spud muds
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2014;, Master thesis, 2014-05-22)Drill cuttings recovered after drilling with OBM today are treated and deposited at onshore facilities. The TWMA Company offers a new technology, which recovers drilled subsurface materials together with oil and water ... -
Application of trishear and elastic dislocation models to the Teapot Anticline, Wyoming
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2017;, Master thesis, 2017-06-15)Teapot Dome is a Laramide fault-propagation fold developed over a west-vergent thrust that involves basement. In this thesis, I test the applicability of the kinematic trishear model and the mechanical elastic dislocation ... -
Applied well integrity
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2014;, Master thesis, 2014-06-16)Extended reach drilling is the result of industry focus to exploit fields efficiently with a minimum financial and environmental impact. Two of the ERD pioneer fields are Wytch Farm in UK and Statfjord on the Norwegian ... -
Applying dual gradient drilling in complex wells, challenges and benefits
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2013;, Master thesis, 2013-06)Dual gradient drilling is a manage pressure drilling technique that may extend viability of deep and ultra- deep water drilling and production, in a manner that may be classified as safe or safer, than what can be achieved ... -
Assessment of expandable liner for the Skarv field
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2012;, Master thesis, 2012)BP’s Skarv field is a stacked three layer reservoir structure. The field development plan involves drilling deviated and horizontal wells into the uppermost reservoir layer, Garn, and the lowermost reservoir layer, Tilje. ... -
Automated MPD level in the oil and gas industry and development possibility
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2015;, Master thesis, 2015-06)Automation is introduced to the industrial field long time ago, but still in its first steps in the oil and gas industry. There are many reasons led to this slow of automation in this industry. These reasons related to the ... -
Automated well control using MPD approach
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2009, Master thesis, 2009)The easy oil and gas is gone. Newly discovered fields follow the trend of being smaller and harder to reach, moving to increasingly remote locations with high temperatures. The huge fields of the past are maturing and ... -
Automatic adjustment of drilling fluid properties
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2013;, Master thesis, 2013)The primer objective of this thesis was to implement and test, in the automated drilling hydraulics laboratory at the University of Stavanger, a system for automatic adjustment of viscosity of a fluid. The fluid used to ... -
Automatic detection of reservoir influx in conventional drilling, managed pressure drilling and dual gradient drilling
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2012;, Master thesis, 2012)Reservoir influxes, or kicks, are well control incidents with the potential of severe consequences to health, safety and the environment, as well as economics. Although the main focus will always be to prevent such incidents ... -
