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 ... -
Wave-equation migration velocity analysis of the successive vintages of the Sleipner Field - A detailed prediction of the mechanical effects caused by CO2 injection
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2017;, Master thesis, 2017-06-14)Since September 1996, Statoil and partners have through their carbon capture and storage project at the Sleipner field, located in the central North Sea, injected approximately one million tons carbon dioxide per year into ... -
Well collapse modeling & Norne & Heidrun well instability sensitivity studies
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2015;, Master thesis, 2015-06-15)Well collapse is a typical wellbore instability problem in brittle shale and unconsolidated formations. In this thesis, the thermal, chemical, mechanical, hydraulic, elastic and transient effects on the well collapse ... -
Well control analysis in conventional and riserless reelwell method
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2014;, Master thesis, 2014-06-10)The oil industry is nowadays facing several problems as hydrocarbon reserves are declining and challenging areas are forced to explore. Deepwater drilling is one of these challenging areas as increased target depth results ... -
Well control and training scenarios
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2011;, Master thesis, 2011)Well control is needed during drilling operations to maintain a stable and safe well. Moving towards deeper wells with higher pressures and temperatures makes the operational working window smaller and more complicated ... -
Well control considerations in Arctic drilling
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2014;, Master thesis, 2014-06-13)As the petroleum industry is in a constant move north for new exploration and production areas, both challenges and opportunities are many. The vast majority of the northern hemisphere are characterized by low temperatures, ... -
Well control during extended reach drilling - conventional drilling compared to the reelwell drilling method
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2014;, Master thesis, 2014-06-15)Well control is always of great importance during well operations. The main purpose of well control is to keep downhole pressures in the operating window between pore and fracture pressure. In the case of a well control ... -
Well control procedures and simulations
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2011;, Master thesis, 2011)A brief introduction is given to a range of well control procedures. It was found that many of the procedures rely on a set of simplifying assumptions. This is particularly true in the hand calculations for designing a ... -
Well design considerations for CO2 injection at Prelude
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2011;, Master thesis, 2011-06-15)The global economy is set to grow four-fold by 2050, promising economic benefits and a higher standard of living for millions. At the same time the global community is uniting in an effort to combat global warming. Achieving ... -
Well engineering simulation (WellPlanTM) challenges and uncertainties in drilling engineering
(Student paper, others, 2014-05-20)The report work on this laboratory simulation, will be simulated a Drilling Operation to identify the challenges that this operation carries, and how to mitigated them. Nowadays, the high demand by Operators to drill ... -
Well P&A Tubing Compaction Method Evaluation and Modelling
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2017;, Master thesis, 2017-07-13)The number of aged fields in the North Sea is increasing, and in few years, and there will be a significant increase in number of wells that need to be permanently plugged and due to low oil prices and other reasons, there ... -
Well stability in shale formations
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2014;, Master thesis, 2014-06-16)Well instability in shale formations has been a very major problem due to physiochemical interactions between drilling fluid and formation. In this thesis, chemical, thermal and diffusion effects on the well collapse ... -
Wellbore stability and rock mechanics study on the Ula field
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2013;, Master thesis, 2013-06-20)In the years to come more challenging drilling conditions will occur when the last reserves need to be collected. More directional drilling will be used and good wellbore conditions will be necessary to make this possible. ... -
Wettability alteration in carbonates : the effect of water-soluble acids in crude oil and application of enzyme for wettability alteration
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2010;, Master thesis, 2010)The objective of the project is defined in two phases. The first phase is to study the effect of oil composition and carboxylic acids in the crude oil on the wetting condition and wettability alteration process using ... -
