(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IER/2020;, Master thesis, 2020)This thesis compares facies models based on deterministic AVO inversion – which is a standard approach in the industry, and stochastic AVO inversion – which is a newer, less popular approach, but according to literature, ... -
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 ... -
Enhancing regional scientific knowledge for the Ritland Impact Crater: Meteorite classification, mineralogical and impact shock characteristics
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IER/2020;, Master thesis, 2020-08-14)Impactites from the Cambrian aged 2,7 km diameter Ritland impact crater in southwestern Norway were studied in detail using methods such as SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope), ICP-MS geochemistry, PGE (Platinum Group ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
