Controls on upper Paleozoic carbonate build-up development in the South Central Norwegian Barents Sea
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2015;, Master thesis, 2015-06-12)This study focusses on aspects related to carbonate build-ups in an upper Paleozoic succession in the south central Norwegian Barents Sea. Seismic and well data are used to map and characterize the protozoan and heterozoan ... -
Electrofacies analysis - a possible use in Paleogeographic understanding of a North Sea reservoir
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2015;, Master thesis, 2015-06-15)The study area is centered around the B prospect, which is situated in block 34/6, in the northern part of the Tampen Spur area, northern North Sea. In the study area, lateral changes in reservoir properties of the Lower ... -
Geological mapping of the south-central Gulf of Corinth coastal fault system - Greece
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2015;, Master thesis, 2015-06)This thesis is related to geological mapping of the south-central Gulf of Corinth (Greece), providing an interpretation for the major fault systems towards the east and the west of much studied coastal fault segments: ... -
Influence of different modeling techniques on reservoir volume
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2015;, Master thesis, 2015-06-15)Facies modeling is one of the initial stages on the way to reservoir volume calculations. Typically, for each depositional environment a particular facies modeling method is used. The geology of the area of investigation ... -
Influense of seismic and velocity uncertainties on reservoir volumetrics
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2015;, Master thesis, 2015-06-15)Uncertainty is a well-known concept in geology, and can lead to re-evaluation of important development decisions if properly assessed. This thesis describes uncertainty through the set-up of “scenarios”. For each parameter ... -
Intepretation, modelling, and halokinetic evolution of salt diapirs in the Nordkapp Basin
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2015;, Master thesis, 2015-06-15)The Nordkapp Basin provides one of the examples of salt diapirism in the southwestern Barents Sea, becoming an area of interest for hydrocarbon exploration during the last 30 years. Several exploration wells have been ... -
Kalavryta and Kerpini Fault Block: Investigation into correlation and nature of sub-horizontal layers; Corinth Graben, Greece.
(Master thesis, 2015-06)The Gulf of Corinth is located in West-Central Greece and is the result of a Pliocene-Recent, asymmetric extensional rift system. The region offers an excellent opportunity to study rotated fault blocks and the various ... -
Late Paleozoic development of the Finnmark Platform, southwestern Barents Sea, Norway
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2015;, Master thesis, 2015-06-12)Following the recent Gohta and Alta discoveries in the Loppa High by Lundin Norway AS in 2013 and 2014 respectively, there has been an enhanced interest for the Upper Paleozoic succession in the Norwegian Arctic Shelf ... -
Micro- and nano-applications to monitor the rock-fluid interaction in fractured chalk
(Master thesis, 2015-06)The aim of this project is to contribute to the research of improved oil recovery (IOR) through studying the formation of new mineral phases in a fractured Cretaceous onshore chalk core, flooded with synthetic seawater ... -
Petrophysical characterization of the Lower Cretaceous clastic wedges in the northwestern Barents Sea
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2015;, Master thesis, 2015-06-15)The results of the petrophysical evaluation of four turbidite systems located along the flanks of the Hammerfest Basin, in the southwestern Barents Sea, are presented in this master thesis. These systems are the reservoir ... -
Raman spectroscopy applied to enhanced oil recovery research
(Master thesis, 2015-06-09)It is well established that aqueous chemistry affects the mechanical strength of chalk. Seawater tends to weaken chalk at reservoir temperatures and consequently the recovery rate. As more than 50 % of the oil in existing ... -
Seismic stratigraphy and geomorphology of the chalk group of the central graben, north sea
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2015;, Master thesis, 2015-06-29)The Ekofisk Field in the Southern part of the North Sea has been producing oil since its discovery in 1969 from naturally fractured chalk of the Late Cretaceous to Early Paleocene ages. This Chalk Group of the Norwegian ... -
Subsurface characterization of structural traps in the Outer Nunchia Foothills, Colombia
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2015;, Master thesis, 2015-06-15)The integration and interpretation of 2D and 3D seismic data, well information, geological maps and public information was used to identify the structural configuration of the outer Nunchia Foothills, to define the ... -
The North Sea reservoir chalk characterization
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2015;, Master thesis, 2015-06-15)A significant amount of the hydrocarbon production in the North Sea is related to chalk reservoirs. Since 1969, the chalk play remains one of the most important oil sources in Norway. With the initial expected recovery ... -
The Vouraikos Valley: an example of rift segmentation in the Corinth Graben, Greece
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2015;, Master thesis, 2015-06)The Gulf of Corinth is recognized as one of the most active rift systems in the world, the study area covers an onshore rift section on the southern flank of the gulf, the northern part of Peloponnesus. The area comprises ...
