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 ... -
Applying Geological Process Modeling to a turbidite system in the northern North Sea
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IER/2019;, Master thesis, 2019-06)In recent years, several mathematical methods, especially those based on geostatistics, have been used in reservoir characterization. The reliability of the static models derived from these techniques depends on available ... -
Analytical solutions for forced and spontaneous imbibition accounting for viscous coupling
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IER/2019;, Master thesis, 2019-06)Theoretical and experimental work has shown that fluid mobilities can depend on flow configuration, and are typically lower when fluids flow in opposite directions as compared to when they flow in the same direction. Such ... -
The Impact of Permeability on Density-Driven Convection During CO2 Storage in Underground Reservoirs
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IER/2019;, Master thesis, 2019-06-14)Within the context of global warming, CO2 storage in geological reservoirs is seen as one of many strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions over the next few decades. In CO2 storage, the water density increases upon ... -
Reservoir Simulation of Chemical Inflow Tracers in Horizontal Wells
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IER/2019;, Master thesis, 2019-06-14)Conventional production logging tools can be challenging to deploy and interpret in long horizontal wells. Inflow tracer technology can address these challenges, by allowing continuous monitoring of the horizontal section. ... -
Tectonic evolution of the Marulk Basin and adjacent highs, northern North Sea
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IEP/2019;, Master thesis, 2019-06-14)The Marulk Basin is located in the northern North Sea, at the boarder towards the Mid-Norwegian Margin. The geological evolution of the Marulk Basin has received limited attention in the literature, and thus, the main ... -
Production of Smart Water by Acid Flooding in Chalk: Temperature Limitation at Slightly Water-Wet Conditions
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IER/2019;, Master thesis, 2019-06-14)Seawater has proven to be an excellent injection fluid in chalk due to its ability to alter the wettability towards more water-wet conditions at high temperatures. This chemically induced wettability alteration improves ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
