• A discussion of well control methods 

      Røssland, Øystein (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2013;, Master thesis, 2013-05-22)
      Well control can in short words be described as the core for human safety on board a platform or a rig. It includes a variety of elements that go under the name barrier elements that are in place to prevent an unwanted ...
    • 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 ...
    • Hydraulic calculations using discovery web for visualization 

      Strand, Erling (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2014;, Master thesis, 2014-06-15)
      Advanced real-time monitoring systems are useful tools for safe and cost effective well operation practices. As one moves into deeper water, higher pressure and higher temperature, the drilling operations only becomes more ...
    • Inclusion of mass transfer terms in the AUSMV transient flow model 

      Waldeland, Jahn Otto (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2016;, Master thesis, 2016-06)
      Gas contamination of an oil-based drilling mud while performing drilling operations, having influx of formation gas into the borehole in the form of a gas kick; pose a potential hazard to the personnel, environment and the ...
    • Riserless Drilling Systems 

      Myhre, Erlend (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2011;, Master thesis, 2011-06-14)
      As the oil and gas recoverables are getting more inaccessible and harder to procure, the worlds demand for petroleum resources are constantly increasing. This entails the oil industry to expose themselves towards more ...
    • Well control analysis in conventional and riserless reelwell method 

      Utheim, Marit (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2014;, Master thesis, 2014-06-10)
      The oil industry is nowadays facing several problems as hydrocarbon reserves are declining and challenging areas are forced to explore. Deepwater drilling is one of these challenging areas as increased target depth results ...
    • Well control and training scenarios 

      Hamarhaug, Marianne (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2011;, Master thesis, 2011)
      Well control is needed during drilling operations to maintain a stable and safe well. Moving towards deeper wells with higher pressures and temperatures makes the operational working window smaller and more complicated ...
    • Well control considerations in Arctic drilling 

      Kjær, Linn Kristin (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2014;, Master thesis, 2014-06-13)
      As the petroleum industry is in a constant move north for new exploration and production areas, both challenges and opportunities are many. The vast majority of the northern hemisphere are characterized by low temperatures, ...
    • Well control procedures and simulations 

      Litlehamar, Harald (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2011;, Master thesis, 2011)
      A brief introduction is given to a range of well control procedures. It was found that many of the procedures rely on a set of simplifying assumptions. This is particularly true in the hand calculations for designing a ...
