Assessing air-gap of semi-submersibles in the Northern North Sea
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMBM/2018;, Master thesis, 2018-06-13)Sufficient still water airgap is important both for fixed and floating platforms. What is a sufficient airgap according to the rules depends on the rule regime under which the platform is designed. All fixed platforms and ... -
Pump pressure manipulation during MPD connection
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IEP/2018;, Master thesis, 2018-06-14)Over time the remaining oil prospects are becoming harder to drill and managed pressure drilling is a tool that can be used to reach target depth in depleted reservoirs or similar narrow margin scenarios. In any narrow ... -
Simulation of Oil Recovery Process – Co-current Spontaneous Imbibition in Fractured Reservoirs
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IEP/2018;, Master thesis, 2018-06-14)A large fraction of the world petroleum reserves is made up by Naturally Fractured Reservoirs (NFR) which are usually produced by waterflooding. The injected water flows primarily through the fracture network and cover the ... -
Simulation of oil recovery by wettability alteration – interpretation of Smart water imbibition experiments at reservoir conditions
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IEP/2018;, Master thesis, 2018-06-14)More than 50 % of the proven oil resources in the world are present in carbonates, but the recovery rate is relatively low. Accordingly, a lot of focus has been on improving the efficiency of carbonate reservoirs by applying ... -
Adsorption of basic crude oil components onto carbonate chalk surfaces – effect on initial wettability.
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IEP/2018;, Master thesis, 2018-06-14)The initial wetting of carbonate reservoirs is of great importance to the overall oil recovery and smart water processes. Crude oil is a complex mixture of organic components, and the polar components present in it can ... -
