Modelling and Simulation of Annular Pressure Build up
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IEP/2018;, Master thesis, 2018-06)Annular pressure buildup (APB) has been a concern for well design in the recent years. It is a phenomenon that relates mainly to subsea wells with possibly no means to release the pressure building up in closed annuli. ... -
Modern Casing Design Optimization
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IEP/2019;, Master thesis, 2019-06-15)“Working Stress Design” is the most used casing design method and has been for many years, on the Norwegian continental shelf as well as all over the globe. It is a simple method which in essence comprises of calculating ... -
MPD - Field case Studies, Modelling and Simulation Studies
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IEP/2018;, Master thesis, 2018-07-10)Due to energy demands and depletion of the existent reservoirs, the oil and gas industry is expanding new frontier exploration and production works such as in deep-water, HPHT zones and arctic regions. However, due to ... -
Multi-well Interference Test Analysis
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IEP/2020;, Master thesis, 2020)Understanding if there is any hydraulic communication, between the wells within a reservoir and a degree of the communication have been a subject of study for a long time. This information becomes crucial when injection ... -
Multiphase air-water flow loop, Construction and Experiments
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IEP/2019;, Master thesis, 2019-07-26)The main aim of this work is to build and assemble a two-phase fluid-loop. This loop will allow us and the future students at the university of Stavanger to access a facility which will provides direct opportunities to ... -
New Drilling Technology for Hole Cleaning and Efficient Drilling
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IEP/2020;, Master thesis, 2020-07-07)Well integrity is an important safety aspect of a well. Lack of wellbore integrity can lead to challenges like wellbore collapse, stuck pipe, lost circulation and sloughing shales, which are all big problems for drillers. ... -
