Mathematical Modelling of the Drilling Process for Real-time Applications in Drilling Simulation, Interpretation and Assistance
(PhD thesis UiS;, no.;506, Doctoral thesis, 2019)For the last thirty years, mathematical modelling has been used to develop software solutions that support drilling engineering activities at the planning stage of drilling operations. But it is only for the last decade ... -
Machine learning in reservoir permeability prediction and modelling of fluid flow in porous media
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Reliable data on the properties of the porous medium are necessary for the correct description of the process of displacing hydrocarbons from the reservoirs and forecasting reservoir performance. The true permeability of ... -
Application of multicriteria fuzzy clusterization approach to assess the arctic seas oil and gas field development prospects
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)The article describes a unified approach to the assessment of resources and business planning. As an example, the oil and gas resources of the Pechora Sea are considered in the paper. Based on the specifics of the problem ... -
Numerical Modelling and Sensitivity Analysis of Gas Kick Migration and Unloading of Riser
(Chapter, 2019)In deepwater wells there is a risk of gas entering the riser. This can be caused by gas being trapped by the BOP after a well kill operation, or it can be that the BOP was not closed quickly enough upon kick detection. ... -
Hydraulic Behavior in Cased and Open Hole Sections in Highly Deviated Wellbores
(Chapter, 2019)In this paper we present results from flow loop experiments with an oil-based drilling fluid with micronized barite as weight materials. The use of micronized barite allows using lower viscosity drilling fluid, providing ... -
Experimental Investigation of the Mechanisms of Salt Precipitation during CO2 Injection in Sandstone
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Deep saline reservoirs have the highest volumetric CO2 storage potential, but drying and salt precipitation during CO2 injection could severely impair CO2 injectivity. The physical mechanisms and impact of salt precipitation, ... -
