Petrophysical Evaluation of the Thinly Bedded Nordmela Formation in the Johan Castberg Field, Barents Sea
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IER/2020;, Master thesis, 2020-07)This study demonstrates how contrasting different distributions of shale in a reservoir determines the petrophysical properties. The Skrugard prospect (Well 7220/8-1), drilled in 2011, confirmed that the western Barents ... -
An Improved Approach in Estimating Gas Permeability for Tight Reservoir Rocks.
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IEP/2020;, Master thesis, 2020-12-15)The impact of the permeability on ultra-tight porous media influences flow behaviour inside the media. The unconventional reservoir gas permeability significantly impacts rock property estimation crucial to unconventional ... -
Managing Uncertainty in Geological CO2 Storage Using Bayesian Evidential Learning
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-03)Carbon capture and storage (CCS) has been increasingly looking like a promising strategy to reduce CO2 emissions and meet the Paris agreement’s climate target. To ensure that CCS is safe and successful, an efficient ... -
Machine learning based decline curve analysis for short-term oil production forecast
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-05)Traditional decline curve analyses (DCAs), both deterministic and probabilistic, use specific models to fit production data for production forecasting. Various decline curve models have been applied for unconventional ... -
Porosity Evolution during Chemo-Mechanical Compaction
(Chapter, 2018)This chapter presents the constitutive equations necessary to interpret laboratory and field data when both solid and pore volume evolve through time due to chemical and mechanical processes. The equations for the porosity ... -
Mineral replacement in long-term flooded porous carbonate rocks
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-09)This study reports mineralogical and physical property changes linked to geo-chemical alterations processes during three ultra-long-term tri-axial tests on outcrop-chalk from Liège (Belgium). The test core plugs were flooded ... -
Multi-Criteria spatial-based modelling for optimal alignment of roadway by-passes in the Tlokweng Planning Area, Botswana
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-05)In this study, Spatial Multi-Criteria Evaluation and the least cost path analysis were applied to find the optimal by-pass road alignment in the Tlokweng Planning Area in Botswana. One-At-a-Time sensitivity analysis and ... -
Development of new oil/water partitioning tracers for the determination of residual oil saturation in the inter-well region of water-flooded reservoirs
(PhD thesis UiS;, Doctoral thesis, 2021-03)Most of the hydrocarbon-rich large unexplored basins are located in remote and/or highly environmentally sensitive regions. As more and more oilfields reach maturity at the end of the secondary stage of recovery, while on ... -
Systematic atomic force microscopy and constraints for the determination of wettability and EOR research
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IER/2020;, Master thesis, 2020-07)A highly attractive strategy within the hydrocarbon industry is improving the percentage of recovery from the reservoirs, called Improved Oil Recovery/Enhanced Oil Recovery (IOR/EOR). The Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) is ... -
Enhancing regional scientific knowledge for the Ritland Impact Crater: Meteorite classification, mineralogical and impact shock characteristics
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IER/2020;, Master thesis, 2020-08-14)Impactites from the Cambrian aged 2,7 km diameter Ritland impact crater in southwestern Norway were studied in detail using methods such as SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope), ICP-MS geochemistry, PGE (Platinum Group ... -
Steady State Relative Permeability Experiments with Capillary End Effects: Analytical Solutions including Derivation of the Intercept Method
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-09)Steady state relative permeability experiments are performed by coinjection of two (or more) immiscible fluids. The relative permeabilities can be calculated directly from the stabilized pressure drop and saturation of the ... -
Architecture of shoreface to deep-water systems in segmented rift systems: Evidence from the southern margin of the Sogn Graben, northern North Sea
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-03)Naturally fractured reservoirs are highly dependent on capillary forces to recover hydrocarbons during water injection. Water can spontaneously imbibe and expel oil if positive capillary forces exist; purely counter-current ... -
Simulation study of wettability alteration enhanced oil recovery during co-current spontaneous imbibition
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-09)Naturally fractured reservoirs are highly dependent on capillary forces to recover hydrocarbons during water injection. Water can spontaneously imbibe and expel oil if positive capillary forces exist; purely counter-current ... -
The Seismic Imaging and Interpretation of Faults: A Case Study from the Snøhvit Field, Barents Sea
(PhD thesis UiS;568, Doctoral thesis, 2021-01)An accurate understanding of faults in the subsurface is critical to successful petroleum exploration and production. Faults define sediment distribution pathways during deposition, act as barriers or conduits to fluid ... -
Permeability evolution in chalk linked to stress and thermochemical aspects of North Sea reservoir conditions
(PhD thesis UiS;564, Doctoral thesis, 2020-12)The project was initiated by The National IOR Centre of Norway within the University of Stavanger and it aligns with the overall goal of the centre to improve oil recovery on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. It contributes ... -
Provenance Evaluation of Lower Cretaceous in the Stappen High Area and Implications for Reservoir Development
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IER/2020;, Master thesis, 2020-07-28)Southeast directed fluvio-deltaic systems transported across Svalbard during Early Cretaceous are age correlated to southeast progradation deposits in the in Fingerdjupet Subbasin. Both local (few km) and distal (>300 km) ... -
Predictive Dynamic Models of the Upper Jurassic Ula Fm Aquifer Between the Ula and Oda Fields, Norwegian Central Graben, North Sea
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IER/2020;, Master thesis, 2020-07-15)The Ula and Oda oil fields in the southern part of the Norwegian Central Graben have high quality Upper Jurassic sandstone reservoirs from the shallow marine Ula Fm. Pressure data from the Oda field indicates communication ... -
(Sub)regional Hydrocarbon Potential in the Valanginian Mulichinco Formation in the North-Eastern Part of the Neuquén Basin
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IER/2020;, Master thesis, 2020-07-13)Since the beginning of the 20th century, the Neuquén Basin has been the most important hydrocarbon producer in Argentina. Many different conventional plays have been explored and exploited, while, the unconventional ... -
