(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2016;, Master thesis, 2016-06)The Oak Ridge fault is located in the Ventura Basin, southern California, USA. It is a south-dipping reverse fault formed under the effect of Miocene extension, followed by Pliocene to middle Pleistocene compression, late ... -
A comparative study on PDC drillbit performance with a 4D dynamic model on samples of late cretaceous chalk for North Sea applications
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2011;, Master thesis, 2011)The overall goal of this work has been to select the most suitable PDC bit for 8 ½” Chalk-sections located in the North Sea. The Ekofisk field is the largest field in the North Sea and has long sections with Chalk of late ... -
A discussion of well control methods
(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 ... -
A feasibility study for drilling & completing ERD wells on the Brage field
(Master thesis, 2015-06-12)In this master thesis, the potential for drilling an ERD well from the Brage platform have been studied. ERD wells can help operators reach isolated reservoirs located far away from the drilling facility. For mature fields ... -
A historical development of P&A requirements on the NCS and its effects on permanently plugged and abandoned wells
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2017;, Master thesis, 2017-07-13)This master thesis presents the development of the regulation in the field of permanent plug and abandonment in the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS). It describes how the regulations have been developed for Permanent Plug ... -
A Literature Review and Transport Modelling of Nanoparticles for Enhanced Oil Recovery
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2017;, Master thesis, 2017-06-15)Nanotechnology has been envisioned to transform every sector of industries, particularly in the petroleum industry. Numerous researches, especially on nano-EOR, have been done in the past few years and shown promising ... -
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 mathematical model for spontaneous imbibition as a recovery mechanism
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2014;, Master thesis, 2014-06-04)Spontaneous imbibition is a process where the wetting fluid displaces the non-wetting fluid in a porous medium by means of capillary forces. Spontaneous imbibition plays a significant role in the recovery of hydrocarbons, ... -
A mechanical study of the effect of sulphate
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2011;, Master thesis, 2011)In this study the presence of sulphate in seawater was examined from a mechanical point of view. As test material an outcrop chalk from the Hallembaye area in Belgium called Liegé was used. This is a high porosity outcrop ... -
