      Mikalsen, Emil (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2012;, Master thesis, 2012)
      There are many options to perform a PP&A operation. The goal of this thesis was to look at the opportunities to perform an effective offline PP&A of wells based on cost, time and personnel. After searching through Service ...

    • A simple model for predicting the internal and external filtration during produced water re-injection using field data from Grane well G-32. 

      Dahle, Svein Kåre Malo (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2016;, Master thesis, 2016-05-14)
      Produced water re-injection is a method for managing the produced water in an environmentally friendly way by injecting produced water into a porous formation. This is also a method of maintaining the reservoir pressure. ...
