• Experimental study of low salinity EOR effects from the Varg field 

      Melberg, Elin (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2010;, Master thesis, 2010)
      The extra oil recovery obtained when flooding a sandstone reservoir with low saline water is called low salinity (LowSal) effect. The term salinity refers to amount (and type) of salt that makes up the ionic composition ...
    • Low salinity effect after sea water flooding in sandstone reservoirs 

      Ferreira, Jose (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2012;, Master thesis, 2012)
      Clays are the main wetting minerals and have permanently negative surface charges. The negative charges must be balanced by; active cat ions, polar components or H+. pH changes is observed in the effluent by flooding in ...
    • Study of a model for spontaneous imbibition as a mechanism for oil recovery in naturally fractured reservoirs 

      Heredia Garate, Antonio Jesus (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 ...
    • Temperature effects in low salinity waterflooding 

      Grimstad, Jelena (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2012;, Master thesis, 2012)
      In the past years it has been observed that low salinity floods often lead to production of additional oil recovery. Several theories have been proposed as explanation for improved oil recovery, though the key mechanism ...
