Underwater robotics in the future of arctic oil and gas operations
(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
(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
(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
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2015;, Master thesis, 2015-06-15)It is quite a challenge to perform a detailed analysis on the dynamics of particles flow in well operations. In this thesis the dynamics of the cuttings transport in a well are described. Simulations have been performed ... -
Use of expandable pipe technology to improve well completions
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2009;, Master thesis, 2009)The underlying concept of expandable technology is cold‐working a pipe downhole to the required size. An expansion cone is typically used to permanently deform the pipe downhole. The cone is pulled or pushed through the ... -
Use of Probability Management in E&P Portfolio Analysis
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2017;, Master thesis, 2017-06-15)Capital investment decisions are a critical decision that every organization must take in a careful manner to optimize its resources. In the industry driven by uncertainty such as upstream petroleum industry, it becomes ... -
The use of sea water tracer as a tool for history matching of the Statfjord Fm simulation model
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2010;, Master thesis, 2010)In this study, the Statfjord Fm reservoir simulation model was set up to track injected sea water. The sea water itself thereby forms a tracer in the simulation model. This sea water tracer was included with the intent ... -
Use of ultrasonic and acoustic sensors for characterization of liquid-particle flow and evaluation of hole cleaning efficiency
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2014;, Master thesis, 2014-06-16)The transportation of solids by suspension can cause severe damage to pipelines and infrastructures if not handled correctly. An adequate system for monitoring multiphase flow can be used to get early indications of erosion ... -
Using differential pressure and image processing for cuttings transportation measurements
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2017;, Master thesis, 2017-06-15)Dynamic aspects of liquid-particle flow were investigated through frequency analysis of pressure gradients and image processing of particle flow patterns. Experiments were conducted in a medium-scale flow loop with a ... -
Using machine learning to identify flow regimes from capacitance sensor data
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2016;, Master thesis, 2016-06-29)In this thesis the k-means clustering and a neural network is developed and used to classify capacitance data from multi phase flow in a horizontal tube. Theoretical background for the unsupervised machine learning ... -
Using plasma technology to remove scale from production tubing
(Master thesis, 2016-06)With its wide application in areas such as electronics, the car-, machine- and tool-making industries, energy technology, the optics industry, and textile, environmental, and medical technology, plasma technology is ... -
Utilization of Purpose-Built Jack-Up Units for Plug and Abandonment Operations
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2017;, Master thesis, 2017-07)The oil and gas industry working on the Norwegian continental shelf have the past years increased the focus on decommissioning of fields, after several years with attention to increase and enhance oil recovery. The topic ... -
Utilizing down hole data, acquired by a multiple sensor down hole tool, to determine the PDC bit wear state.
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2008;, Master thesis, 2008)By using real-time data from INTEQ`s CoPilot Real-Time Drilling Optimalization a search for dependable indications of the degree of the bit wear was done. This would improve decision making procedures for when to pull the ... -
Validation of the LedaFlow software applied to the well flow cases
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2012;, Master thesis, 2012-06)In recent years, there have been rapid advances in the field of transient multiphase simulators due to the fact that they have proven to be accurate and reliable for the vast majority of cases in the oil and gas industry. ... -
Water and surfactant flooding at different wettability conditions
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2011;, Master thesis, 2011)In a surfactant flooding of oil reservoirs, surfactant products are added to the injected water to reduce the oil-water interfacial tension (IFT) and thereby mobilize capillary trapped oil. The theory in classic surfactant ... -
Water induced compaction of chalks with varying non-carbonate content : the effect of Mg2+ and pH of the injected brines
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2012;, Master thesis, 2012)The main objective for this study was to investigate the effect of alkaline brines on chalk, and the importance of non-carbonate content in chalk. This was done by flooding alkaline MgCl2 on Liège chalk – which has ... -
Water weakening of chalks - comparsion of intact and fractured cores
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2013;, Master thesis, 2013-06-17)Even though Chemical induced compaction on high porosity chalks has been studied extensively, little attention was given to the impacts of fractures when chalk is exposed to various flooding brines. Due to the nature of ... -
