Non-precious metal activated MoSi2N4 monolayers for high-performance OER and ORR electrocatalysts: A first-principles study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Developing high-performance electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is crucial for energy conversion and storage. Recently, a new type of two-dimensional material MoSi2N4 ... -
NORSOK requirements for P&A - comments
(Bachelor thesis, 2021)Today there are 6944 wells drilled on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS) [3]. All of these wells have to be permanently plugged and abandoned in the future. This will come at an estimated cost of £35- £104 billion ... -
The Norwegian Water Column Monitoring programme 2021: Assessing the impacts of Ekofisk and Eldfisk offshore oil and gas installations on the marine environment
(NIVA-rapport;, Research report, 2023)The Norwegian offshore Water Column Monitoring (WCM) programme investigated the potential effects of Ekofisk and Eldfisk oil and gas installations on the marine environment. Produced water (PW) impacts were assessed in the ... -
A novel approach based on artificial neural network for calibration of multi-hole pressure probes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Imperfections in the manufacturing process of flow measuring probes affect their measuring behavior. Nevertheless, in order to provide the highest possible accuracy, each individual multi-hole pressure probe has to be ... -
Numerical and analytical analysis of flow in stratified heterogeneous porous media.
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IEP/2018;, Master thesis, 2018-06-06)The groundwater flow through a porous media is well-researched to extend the basic knowledge in both academia and industry, specially the oil industry. The Boussinesq equation represents a water height of fluid spreads ... -
Numerical Investigation of Non-Darcy Flow Regime Transitions in Shale Gas Production
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-07)Shale gas reservoirs are organic rich formations with often ultra-low permeability. Gas is stored in free and adsorbed form. Conventional Darcy flow cannot fully describe the gas transport in such porous media. It is thus ... -
Numerical investigation of the impacts of borehole breakouts on breakdown pressure
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Borehole breakouts appear in drilling and production operations when rock subjected to in situ stress experiences shear failure. However, if a borehole breakout occurs, the boundary of the borehole is no longer circular ... -
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. ... -
Numerical Modelling of Gas Production and CO2 Injection in Tight Shale Reservoirs for Enhanced Gas Recovery
(PhD thesis;560, Doctoral thesis, 2020-11)Natural gas production from shales has become exceedingly important in satisfying the ever-growing global energy demands. This unconventional hydrocarbon system is globally abundant, with large technically recoverable ... -
Numerical simulation of flows in concentric and eccentric annulus – relevant to geothermal wells
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IEP/2018;, Master thesis, 2018-07)At the end of 20th century, the utilization of geothermal energy has increased by 150% forming a solid industry of relevant importance on global markets (Dickson & Fanelli, 2004). According to numerous analyses, this type ... -
Numerical simulation of temperature-dependent flow dynamics in drilling operations
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IEP/2019;, Master thesis, 2019-06-15)This thesis is a description of the research and improvements on solving hyperbolic conservation laws by defining a hybrid explicit/implicit numerical scheme. Former researches have been done by (Evje and Flåtten 2005) on ... -
A numerical study of density-unstable reverse circulation displacement for primary cementing
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Primary cementing of the casing string is the operation where the annular space behind the casing is displaced to a cement slurry. Once hardened, the cement should form a solid annular barrier and provide zonal isolation ... -
A Numerical Study of Pressure Build Up due to Kick Migration in a Closed Well Filled with Water-Based Mud
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IEP/2020;, Master thesis, 2020-06-15)There has been considerable and diverging discussion in the academic literature regarding the real gas kick velocity. This thesis contributes to improving and sharing the knowledge about the real gas kick velocity. It is ... -
Ocean & climate lab scale model - Thermal circulation with surface wind drive
(Master thesis, 2021)Background: The earth receives more heat from the sun at the equator than at the poles. This imbalance is offset by the fact that heat is continuously transported from low-latitude oceans by large-scale winds and ocean ... -
Offshore Electrification - An overview of technologies, risks and costs associated to the Norwegian Continental Shelf
(Master thesis, 2022)The concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is increasing rapidly because of burning fossil fuels. To reduce future emissions, the electrification of offshore oil and gas installations is discussed. The ... -
