• Adaptive Observer Design for Linear Hyperbolic System in Managed Pressure Drilling 

      Kurnia, Hafiz (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2016;, Master thesis, 2016-06)
      Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD) is a drilling technology that has been developed to manage and control the downhole pressure in the well in order to minimize drilling-related problems. This technology uses a pressurized ...
    • Automated MPD level in the oil and gas industry and development possibility 

      Majeed, Qassim Hameed (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2015;, Master thesis, 2015-06)
      Automation is introduced to the industrial field long time ago, but still in its first steps in the oil and gas industry. There are many reasons led to this slow of automation in this industry. These reasons related to the ...
    • Automated well control using MPD approach 

      Birkeland, Trygve (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2009, Master thesis, 2009)
      The easy oil and gas is gone. Newly discovered fields follow the trend of being smaller and harder to reach, moving to increasingly remote locations with high temperatures. The huge fields of the past are maturing and ...
    • Deepwater Challenges & Well Control 

      Limanski, Ivan (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2017;, Master thesis, 2017)
      Deepwater challenges and well control problems are important drilling issues, as operators move into deeper waters and more challenging environments. The deepwater technology and the complexity of deepwater operations have ...
    • Evaluation of the “Command Take-Over Procedure” in automated well control 

      Verpe, Ida Halvorsen (Master thesis, 2014-06-13)
      The growing need for new technology in the pursuit of oil is creating new challenges related to well control. Drilling in HPHT (High Pressure High Temperature) reservoirs, arctic areas, and depleted zones might imply ...
    • Managed pressure drilling from floaters 

      Stødle, Trond (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2013;, Master thesis, 2013-06-05)
      Drilling in challenging environments with different drilling hazards cause a lot of non-productive time (NPT), ie time where the rig is not drilling. Much of the challenging environments are in water depth demanding the ...
    • Managed pressure drilling from floaters: feasibility studies for applying managed pressure drilling from a floater on the Skarv/Idun field on the Norwegian Continental Shelf by PGNiG Norway AS 

      Chrzanowski, Wojciech Stanislaw (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2011;, Master thesis, 2011)
      Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD) is a relatively young technology that has improved some old ideas of Underbalanced Drilling (UBD). According to the IADC, MPD is an “adaptive process used to precisely control the annular ...
    • MPD: Simulation and Control Systems 

      Iqbal, Usman Zafar (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2011;, Master thesis, 2011-06)
      Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD) has solved many conventional drilling problems. It has given the access to the reservoirs where conventional drilling was facing difficulties. The tight pressure windows in depleted reservoirs, ...
    • Rig integrated managed pressure drilling 

      Midtun, Trine Lillenes (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2015;, Master thesis, 2015-06-05)
      The complexity and challenges related to drilling of wells shows an increasing trend, and there is a demand for new technology and/or methods. Managed pressure drilling (MPD) is gaining more and more attention on the market, ...
    • Riserless drilling (managed pressure drilling) 

      Khan, Ahsan (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2012;, Master thesis, 2012)
      There are several problems which an oil and gas industry is facing. These problems can be solved by riserless drilling method which comes under managed pressure drilling umbrella. The most important problem is increasing ...
    • Through tubing rotary managed pressure drilling 

      Rahimov, Elmaddin (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2009;, Master thesis, 2009)
      Managed pressure drilling (MPD) has been known to the industry for a few years. MPD with the ability of coping with risky down-hole pressure situations has gained a great deal of attention. Compared to MPD, the drilling ...
