Oil-based drilling fluid's cuttings bed removal properties for deviated wellbores
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Results from cuttings transport tests in the laboratory using different field-applied oil-based drilling fluids with similar weight and varying viscosities are presented in this paper. The fluids are designed for highly ... -
On the numerical discretization of a tumor progression model driven by competing migration mechanisms
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)In this work we explore a recently proposed biphasic cell-fluid chemotaxis-Stokes model which is able to represent two competing cancer cell migration mechanisms reported from experimental studies. Both mechanisms depend ... -
On the Viability of Lithium Bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide as Electrolyte Salt for Use in Lithium-Ion Capacitors
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Lithium-ion capacitors (LICs) represent promising high-power energy storage devices, most commonly composed of a lithium-ion intercalation anode (e. g., graphite or hard carbon), a supercapacitor activated carbon (AC) ... -
Openhole Sidetrack Operations: Drill Bit Design and BHA Configuration Influence in Drilling Performance
(Master thesis, 2021)Sidetrack is a typical drilling technique in which a deviation is made from an already existing well from a position other than its end. Several openhole sidetracks have been performed over the last couple of years in ... -
Optimal Core Restoration and the Effect of Initial Wetting on Oil Recovery in Chalk
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IEP/2018;, Master thesis, 2018-12-15)The initial wetting condition of the reservoir rock is fundamental in the advanced oil recovery methods by waterflooding, in particular, in Smart Water EOR. The wettability alteration of the rock surface is induced by ... -
Optimization of an Intelligent Autonomous Drilling Rig: Testing and Implementation of Machine Learning and Control Algorithms for Formation Classification, Downhole Vibrations Management and Directional Drilling
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IEP/2019;, Master thesis, 2019-06-14)In recent years, considerable resources have been invested to explore applications for- and to exploit the vast amount of data that gets collected during exploration, drilling and production of oil and gas. Such data will ... -
Optimization of LCM formulation for Wellbore Integrity
(Bachelor thesis, 2022)When drilling a conventional oil-gas well or geothermal well it is crucial to maintain well integrity. This is achieved by the preventing and containing fluid flow between the wellbore and the formation. Drilling fluid is ... -
Optimization of MPD and Drilling fluid parameters for narrow pressure margin wells
