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. ... -
Geochemical Characterisation of Oils and Sediments from Cuba and Jamaica; Implications for the Northern Petroleum System
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IER/2018;, Master thesis, 2018-07-06)The Caribbean plate has a complex tectonic history and its petroleum potential is relatively unexplored. Jamaica and a large part of Cuba were once part of the Great Arc of the Caribbean (GAC), which was later deformed ... -
Middle to Upper Jurassic Depositional Setting in the Hammerfest Basin, Southwestern Barents Sea
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IER/2018;, Master thesis, 2018-07-06)The Middle to Upper Jurassic Fuglen and Hekkingen formations of the southwestern Barents Sea represents both important source rocks and seals in several petroleum plays in the region. The current understanding of this time ... -
