Effect of Wettability on Waterflooding and Relative Permeability at Slightly Water-Wet Conditions
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IER/2019;, Master thesis, 2019-06-14)The wettability of a porous system is of high importance when waterflood behavior and relative permeability are investigated, because both will be strongly affected. Adsorption of polar organic components (POC) are responsible ... -
Effect of Wettability on Waterflooding and Relative Rermeability at Medium Water-Wet Conditions.
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IER/2019;, Master thesis, 2019-06-15)This project contributes with experimental measurement that could increase our understanding on how relative permeability is affected by wettability during an oil recovery process. Wettability has significant attention ... -
Efficient Dimensionality Reduction Methods in Reservoir History Matching
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-05)Production forecasting is the basis for decision making in the oil and gas industry, and can be quite challenging, especially in terms of complex geological modeling of the subsurface. To help solve this problem, assisted ... -
Efficient Optimization and Robust Value Quantification of Enhanced Oil Recovery Strategies
(PhD thesis UiS;, Doctoral thesis, 2022-06)With an increasing demand for hydrocarbon reservoir produces such as oil, etc., and difficulties in finding green oil fields, the use of Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) methods such as polymer, Smart water, and solvent flooding ... -
EOR by Seawater and “Smart Water” Flooding in High Temperature Sandstone Reservoirs
(PhD theses (TN-lER);508, Doctoral thesis, 2020-04)In the last decades, when the first treated injection water has resulted in incremental oil recovery, the activity to explore this technique has increased. And today, Smart Water flooding or low salinity flooding in sandstone ... -
