A mathematical model for flow of gas-liquid mixture in a vertical pipe
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2015;, Master thesis, 2015-06-15)A one-dimensional mathematical model for the ascend velocity to a Taylor bubble consisting of gas in a two-phase flow of gas and liquid in vertical pipes is derived. This model illustrates different effects of two-phase ... -
A Study of a Mathematical Model for Cancer Cell Growth in a Gel
(Master thesis, 2017-06-15)In this thesis, a mathematical model describing gel contraction is derived and studied. The mathematical model describes the process where cells are compressing the gel, and the model is therefore used to study the cell ... -
A study of pressure decay in a closed CO2-water system
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2011;, Master thesis, 2011)Analytical and semi-analytical solutions to the diffusion equation have been obtained in an effort to model pressure decay in a closed CO2-water system. Various boundary conditions that include different physical effects ... -
Computation of the relationship between interfacial area, capillary pressure and saturation in porous media based on the level set method
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2012;, Master thesis, 2012)To gain a better understanding of the relationship between capillary pressure, water saturation and interfacial area in two phase flow, we have studied the drainage and imbibition process for an oil-water system. A level ... -
Computer assisted history matching : A comprehensive study of methodology
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2013;, Master thesis, 2013-06-17)History matching is an important step in reservoir simulation study. The objective is to validate a reservoir model before it is used for prediction. In conventional way, people do history matching by manually adjusting ... -
Data Accuracy from Well Test Operations
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2015;, Master thesis, 2015-12-18)This master thesis presents a study on data accuracy from well test operations. All data measuring methods, except bottomhole and surface PVT sampling, is investigated for the accuracy related to procedure and equipment ... -
Effect of core cleaning solvents on wettability restoration and oil recovery by spontaneous imbibition in surface reactive, low permeable limestone reservoir cores
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2010;, Master thesis, 2010)The success of oil recovery, by water flooding, in naturally fractured, low permeable limestone reservoirs strictly depends on imbibition of injected water into the reservoir matrix block. Prerequisite of imbibition process ... -
Emulsions For Enhanced Oil Recovery EOR
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2017;, Master thesis, 2017-06)______Oil recovery projects have become a valuable source in oil industry in the recent years due to market challenges and economic stability. This is a typical practice that have been applied in oil and gas reservoirs to ... -
Formation as Barrier for Plug and Abandonment of Wells
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2017;, Master thesis, 2017-06-15)To permanently plug and abandon (P&A) of drilled wells, permanent barrier(s) should be established. Cement is the primer material used for zonal isolation and permanent P&A as barrier material. However, it is recognized ... -
Gas condensate field performance theory vs practice
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2012;, Master thesis, 2012-06)This report presents a study on how to represent wells in numerical simulation of a coarse-gridded, full-field study of a lean gas condensate reservoir. A "black oil" (formation volume factor representation of fluid ... -
Numerical simulation of co-current and counter-current imbibition
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2017;, Master thesis, 2017-06-15)Spontaneous imbibition (SI) is a very important mechanism for oil recovery in naturally fractured reservoirs. Several studies have indicated that counter-current oil production is much slower and give lower ultimate oil ... -
Reservoir wetting in sandstone reservoirs, adsorption of polar basic oil components onto quartz and feldspar minerals.
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2016;, Master thesis, 2016-06-15)For more than a decade the mechanism behind flooding with low salinity water have been studied and well documented as increased oil recovery method (EOR) in sandstone reservoirs. Recently Austad et. al. proposed a new ... -
Smart Water injection to enhance oil recovery in carbonate reservoirs – Acid number and base number adsorption onto chalk
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2017;, Master thesis, 2017-06-14)Water-Based Enhanced Oil recovery (EOR) by injecting "Smart Water" in Carbonate Reservoirs have shown promising results. The success of EOR-process waterflooding by “Smart Water” is dictated by the initial wetting condition ... -
Streaming potential - qualification of method and investigating the impact of brine in sandstone core plugs
(Master thesis, 2017-06-15)Streaming potential is an electrokinetic phenomenon caused by relative motion of ions close to a charged surface when a fluid moves past it. By measuring the streaming potential, information related to the surface ... -
Study of a model for spontaneous imbibition as a mechanism for oil recovery in naturally fractured reservoirs
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2014;, Master thesis, 2014-06-10)One of the principal recovery mechanisms in Naturally Fractured Reservoirs (NFRs) is spontaneous imbibition. Understanding the parameters affecting spontaneous imbibition is the first step to achieve optimum oil recovery ... -
The impact of temperature and non-carbonate minerals on chalk compaction
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2015;, Master thesis, 2015-06-15)There has been a considerable research activity concerning the effect of brine chemistry on the mechanical behaviour of chalk since the discovery of the Ekofisk subsidence in the North Sea. Although the research on water ... -
