Experimental Investigation of Material Functions of EOR Polymer Solutions
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IER/2019;, Master thesis, 2019-06)The material functions of multiple EOR polymers were measured and analyzed. Investigating the start-up and relaxation behaviour of multiple polymeric solutions were the main focus of this thesis work. The experimented data ... -
Hybridization of gradient-based and gradient-free optimization techniques for simultaneous optimization of number of wells, their location and drilling time in a 2-dimensional reservoir
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IER/2019;, Master thesis, 2019-06)Optimization has always been a challenging scope in any field of science, and reservoir management is no exception. By the advent of computational power, the use of mathematical algorithms in conjunction with reservoir ... -
MICP-Based Rock Typing of Complex, Multi-Modal Formations in Edvard Grieg Field
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IER/2019;, Master thesis, 2019-06-15)Rock/pore typing is a process of classifying reservoir rocks into units with similar petrophysical properties. When properly classified, each unit possesses a unique porosity-permeability relationship. This leads to improved ... -
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 ... -
Preparation and characterization of Nanocomposite gels for fracture plugging in chalks
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IER/2019;, Master thesis, 2019-06)Excessive water production is a common challenge the oil industry is faced with. The lifting, treatment and disposal of produced water can cause a financial strain on the profitability of a hydrocarbon asset or even shorten ... -
