Techno-economic assessment of decarbonisation technologies for the iron and steel industry
(PhD Theses;704, Doctoral thesis, 2023)Rapid decarbonisation of all segments of the economy is essential to limit the global mean surface temperature rise to 1.5ºC. Industries contribute to approximately a quarter of the global energy related emissions but have ... -
Techno-Economic Assessment of Hydrogen Production from Seawater
(Master thesis, 2021)Population growth and the expansion of industries have increased energy demand. In addition, the use of fossil fuel as an energy source produces greenhouse gases and increases air pollution. As a result, countries are ... -
Techno-economic assessment of hydrogen production from seawater
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Population growth and the expansion of industries have increased energy demand and the use of fossil fuels as an energy source, resulting in release of greenhouse gases (GHG) and increased air pollution. Countries are ... -
Techno-economic assessment of low-carbon ammonia production
(Master thesis, 2021)Decarbonization of the ammonia production industry would require the use of innovative low-carbon production technologies. The use of electrolyser-based ammonia production instead of steam methane reforming may potentially ... -
TEM, SEM and optical microscopy analyses of Berea sandstone cores flooded with sodium silicate polymers for IOR purposes
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IER/2018;, Master thesis, 2018-07-13)Improved Oil Recovery (IOR) is a “hot topic” in the Oil and Gas industry. Sodium silicate (SS) is a polymer which can be injected into a reservoir as a fluid and due to polymerization it precipitates into a semi rigid gel ... -
Temperature-Dependent Classification of Geopolymers Derived from Granite Designed for Well Cementing Applications
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Alternative materials such as geopolymers appear to have potential advantages compared to Portland cement. However, the application of geopolymers for all sections of the well is still a major challenge due to the difference ... -
The Application of Data Analytics and Machine Learning for Formation Classification and Bit Dull Grading Prediction
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IEP/2019;, Master thesis, 2019-06-15)The oil and gas industry, especially its upstream part generates a massive amount of data. The proper data collection and processing are the vital elements of reducing the non-productive time and increasing the drilling ... -
The Effect of Adsorption of Crude Oil Polar Organic Components on Wettability and EOR Potential by Smart Water on Sandstone Cores
