Application of trishear and elastic dislocation models to the Teapot Anticline, Wyoming
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2017;, Master thesis, 2017-06-15)Teapot Dome is a Laramide fault-propagation fold developed over a west-vergent thrust that involves basement. In this thesis, I test the applicability of the kinematic trishear model and the mechanical elastic dislocation ... -
Wave-equation migration velocity analysis of the successive vintages of the Sleipner Field - A detailed prediction of the mechanical effects caused by CO2 injection
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2017;, Master thesis, 2017-06-14)Since September 1996, Statoil and partners have through their carbon capture and storage project at the Sleipner field, located in the central North Sea, injected approximately one million tons carbon dioxide per year into ... -
Comparing AVA character between well derived 3D synthetic models and real seismic together with extended elastic impedance studies of the Agat Formation in the Northern Viking Graben
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2017;, Master thesis, 2017-06-21)This thesis provides the first detailed approach to understanding and comparing amplitude variation with angle (AVA) character between well derived 3D synthetic models and real seismic of the Agat sands in wells 35/3-1, ... -
Processing techniques to enhance imaging of ultra-high frequency seismic data acquired with P-Cable technology
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2017;, Master thesis, 2017-06-15)P-Cable seismic acquisition system is a rather new technology; developed through the past 20 years. Consequently, the use of P-Cable technology has been limited, although researchers still believe that further improvements ... -
High-resolution heavy mineral stratigraphy of selected Precambrian successions underlying the Nama Group in Namibia
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2017;, Master thesis, 2017-07-13)This project research the provenance of Precambrian formations: Kuibis Formation, Holgat Formation, Numees Formation, Blaubeker Formation, Matchless Amphibolite, Aubures Formation, and Klein Aub Formation from Namibia. The ... -
3D reconstruction of a normal fault zone at sub-seismic scale: A trenching study of a strand of the active Baza fault, Central Betic Cordillera, south central Spain
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2017;, Master thesis, 2017-06)Faults are rarely a discrete two-dimensional surface, but a three dimensional volume with a complex internal structure. Faults are commonly encountered in reservoirs and evaluated for their ability to act as a fluid flow ... -
Uniform Corrosion and Its Effect on Tubing Simulation Study
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2017;, Master thesis, 2017-07-13)The API Barlow and the Tri-axial equations cannot be applied to predict burst pressure in the case of pitting corrosion. The main reason for this is that these models are derived from continuum mechanics, but fracture ... -
