Modeling of turbidite systems in deep-water, thrust-related bivergent anticlines
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IER/2019;, Master thesis, 2019-06)In deep-water fold and thrust belts, thrust-related folds that switch vergence along strike can occur and are considered to have a major impact on reservoir distribution (Higgins et al., 2009). Syn-sedimentary processes ... -
Origin of anticline structure in the southern Hammerfest Basin and their impact in sedimentation and coarse-grained distribution
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IER/2019;, Master thesis, 2019-06)This thesis shows how extensional fault-related folding holds a fundamental control on basin physiography and syn-kinematic sediments. The study has used two- and three-dimensional seismic data in combination with a ... -
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 ... -
Predictive Dynamic Models of the Upper Jurassic Ula Fm Aquifer Between the Ula and Oda Fields, Norwegian Central Graben, North Sea

Principle Component Analysis as a Method For Error Covariance Matrix Inflation
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IER/2019;, Master thesis, 2019-07-13)An oil and gas discovery goes through a multiple-stage process to increase the understanding of the asset in hand. By increasing the understanding of the field, production plan gains extra credibility and the uncertainty ... -
Production of Smart Water by Acid Flooding in Chalk Cores: Oil Recovery Effects at Intermediate Temperature
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IER/2019;, Master thesis, 2019-06-14)Considering that most carbonates are of low water wetness, it is of great interest to inject a brine that can alter the wettability to enhance oil production. Smart Water injection has therefore become the most meaningful ... -
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) ... -
Provenance on the Lysing-Lange megasequences on the Dønna Terrace: focus on stratigraphic variability and lateral sandbody connectivity
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IER/2019;, Master thesis, 2019-06-29)The Cenomanian to Coniacian-Turonian Lange-Lysing megasequences are located on the Dønna Terrace in the Norwegian Sea. Provenance study using traditional provenance methods such as petrography, whole-rock geochemistry, and ... -
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 ... -
Reservoir Characterization of the Snorre field: A pseudo wells based inversion approach
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IER/2019;, Master thesis, 2019-06-14)Complex reservoirs make hydrocarbon exploration challenging, and therefore improvement of methods for discovering and producing hydrocarbons is desired. Consequently, various seismic inversion algorithms have been developed ... -
Reservoir Modeling and Uncertainty Estimation: A Comparison Between Stochastic and Deterministic Inversion.
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IER/2019;, Master thesis, 2019-06-29)This study compares the uncertainty estimation based on both deterministic and stochastic inversion with the Gauss Simulation technique applied to modelling the distribution of limestone facies in a sand-shale reservoir. ... -
Salt Controlled Fluvial Systems in the Norwegian Danish Basin, Central North Sea; The Impact on Triassic Petroleum Prospectivity
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IER/2019;, Master thesis, 2019-06-15)The Norwegian Danish Basin is situated in the intracratonic Central North Sea. During Triassic the basin filled with thick units of syn halokinetic arid to dryland fluvial successions of the Smith Bank Formation and the ... -
