Energi til norsk veksthusnæring - bruk av naturgass som energibærer og CO2-kilde
(Bioforsk Rapport;, Research report, 2006)Norsk gartnerinæring bruker anslagsvis 1 000 GWh per år. Planteproduksjon i veksthus her i landet har stort behov for elektrisk energi og avhengig av kultur og produksjonsopplegg varierer andelen elektrisk energi fra 50-80 ... -
Jurassic to Early Cretaceous basin configuration(s) in the Fingerdjupet Subbasin, SW Barents Sea
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017-06)The Fingerdjupet Subbasin in the southwestern Barents Sea sits in a key tectonic location between deep rifts in the west and more stable platform areas in the east. Its evolution is characterized by extensional reactivation ... -
Structural evolution of sheared margin basins: the role of strain partitioning. Sørvestsnaget Basin, Norwegian Barents Sea
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017-07)Spatio-temporal analysis of basins formed along sheared margins has received much less attention than those formed along orthogonally extended margins. Knowledge about the structural evolution of such basins is important ... -
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 ... -
Investigation of a new application for cellulose nanocrystals: a study of the enhanced oil recovery potential by use of a green additive
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018-02)Cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) were investigated for use in a potential new application, enhanced oil recovery. Core flooding experiments were performed on outcrop sandstone cores using CNC particles dispersed in low salinity ... -
Data Assimilation Methods in Seismic Inversion
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IER/2018;, Master thesis, 2018-06)Full-waverform inversion (FWI) is a powerful tool for getting high resolution images from seismic data to understand formations and the reservoir characteristics. But the inversion problems usually do not have unique ... -
Quantitative seismic interpretation using converted PS waves: A case study from the Oseberg South Field, North Sea
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IER/2018;, Master thesis, 2018-06)The converted wave (PS) seismic in combination with the compressional wave (PP) seismic may help in better description and understanding of subsurface stratigraphic and structural features. Since compressional and shear ... -
Time dependent signal of a chalk field: The South Arne Field, Danish North Sea
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IER/2018;, Master thesis, 2018-06)Time-lapse seismic analysis is applied to a producing chalk field, with the aim to understand the field time-varying behaviour with respect to reservoir structure and fluid migration. The study area is the South Arne field ... -
Ground penetrating radar and seismic study to determine glacial deposit stratigraphy
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IER/2018;, Master thesis, 2018-06-14)This work reviews two near-surface geophysical methods, ground penetrating radar and seismic, covering all the processes from the data acquisition to the interpretation. The area of study, Jæren, is located over glacial ... -
Fracture analysis and modelling of the South Arne field
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IER/2018;, Master thesis, 2018-06-14)Fractures are paramount elements in reservoirs, and they are omnipresent in almost all outcrops. The importance of fractures lies in their ability to provide permeable pathways and consequently increase the reservoir ... -
Fault Displacement Analysis in the Kalavryta Region of the Corinth Rift System, Greece.
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IER/2018;, Master thesis, 2018-06-15)The Corinth Rift of Central Greece is one of the world’s most active rifts. Regional N-S extension has resulted in a series of half-grabens within a system of uplifted, rotated and north-dipping normal faults. Extensive ... -
Thermal evolution of the Nordkapp Basin and implications for its petroleum system
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IER/2018;, Master thesis, 2018-06-15)The Nordkapp Basin is an elongated salt-bearing basin that developed during Late Palaeozoic-Early Mesozoic rifting in the southwestern Barents Sea. The presence of salt structures within the basin modified its temperature ... -
Application of Elastic Full-Waveform Inversion on Blackfoot Data
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IER/2018;, Master thesis, 2018-06-20)Estimating a high resolution image of the subsurface has been always a challenge in the oilfield exploration. With advances in computational power, Full Waveform Inversion (FWI) has been proven as an efficient imaging ... -
Characterization of Nannofacies in Upper Cretaceous Chalks used in IOR Research
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IER/2018;, Master thesis, 2018-07)The aim of this thesis is to contribute to enhanced oil recovery (EOR) research by characterizing nannofacies in chalk samples used in increased oil recovery (IOR) flooding experiments with a MgCl2 brine at reservoir ... -
An Integrated Study of the Transition of the Ula Formation from the Cod Terrace to the Sørvestlandet High; Implications for Reservoir Types, Distribution, and Carrier Beds for Hydrocarbon Migration
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IER/2018;, Master thesis, 2018-07)The Upper Jurassic deposits of the Eastern Margin in the Central Graben were influenced by syn-depositional halokinesis, which in turn affected the partitioning of environments and the resulting stratigraphic architecture. ... -
