• Drilling an ERD Well on the Statfjord Field, North Sea 

      Hussain, Sajjad (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2017;, Master thesis, 2017-04-05)
      Old platforms are not well known for extended-reach drilling (ERD) operations mainly due to rig and hydraulics limitations. ERD wells demand robust rig capabilities, good hydraulics systems, and equipment reliability. In ...
    • Futuristic Approach to Riserless Plug and Abandonment Operations 

      Øia, Thomas Monge (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2017;, Master thesis, 2017-06-13)
      On the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS) today, there are 1033 subsea wells that are classified with the status online/operational, Drilling, Predrilled, Suspended and Closed[1] and these subsea wells will have to be ...
    • Inclusion of mass transfer terms in the AUSMV transient flow model 

      Waldeland, Jahn Otto (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2016;, Master thesis, 2016-06)
      Gas contamination of an oil-based drilling mud while performing drilling operations, having influx of formation gas into the borehole in the form of a gas kick; pose a potential hazard to the personnel, environment and the ...
    • Life Cycle Well Integrity and Reliability 

      Haaland, Bjarne (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2017;, Master thesis, 2017-11)
      This thesis presents a method for reliability based casing design. The method is inspired by the model described by Das et al. (2015) - A model for Well Reliability Analysis throughout the Life of a Well Using Barrier ...
    • Reliability Based Casing Design 

      Eleonu, Ositadinma Tochi (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2017;, Master thesis, 2017-06)
      It is a well-known fact that wells are increasingly becoming extremely expensive and difficult to drill as well as develop due to increasing water depth, temperatures, and pressures. All these result in an increasing load ...
    • Simulation and Modelling of Injectivity during Pressurized Mud Cap Drilling with the AUSMV Numerical Scheme 

      Lind, Eirik Aas (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2017;, Master thesis, 2017-06)
      Operation and drilling in highly fractured carbonate formations are associated with several challenges. Some of the main challenges include large/total losses of drilling fluids, loss of hydrostatic pressure and gas influxes. ...
