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 ... -
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 ... -
Fault Activity Control on Upper Jurassic-Early Cretaceous Wedges in the Snorre Fault Block and its Surrounding Area
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IER/2019;, Master thesis, 2019-07)In this study, the question” how fault activity controlled the infill and geometry of the Upper Jurassic-Lower Cretaceous wedges in the Snorre Fault Block and surrounding area” is addressed. To achieve the goal, three-dimensional ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Joint Bayesian AVO and RMO inversion
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IER/2019;, Master thesis, 2019-06-15)Seismic amplitude variation with offset (AVO) has proved to be a useful technique in oil exploration. However, the sensitivity of AVO to residual move-out (RMO) is considered a severe limitation. Small misalignments between ... -
Lateral compositional variations in the Upper Jurassic source rock in the southwestern Barents Sea – an organic or inorganic disclosure
