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 ... -
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 ... -
An Integrated Study of the Oligocene Sequence Stratigraphic Framework in the Egersund Basin, Norwegian North Sea
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IER/2019;, Master thesis, 2019-07-13)The Oligocene interval of the Egersund basin in the Norwegian North Sea is under-studied stratigraphic successions due to its minor significance for the oil and gas industry. The purpose of this study was to improve the ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Lateral compositional variations in the Upper Jurassic source rock in the southwestern Barents Sea – an organic or inorganic disclosure
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IER/2019;, Master thesis, 2019-06)Prominent high-value gamma-ray spikes in the maximum flooding surfaces of the Alge Member of the Hekkingen Formation display an uncommon stratigraphic and regional variation in the southwestern Barents Sea. The variation ... -
Transverse Faults in the Corinth Rift System, Greece
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IER/2019;, Master thesis, 2019-06)The area around the Aegean Sea contains one of the most seismically active continental regions in the world. The region is composed of two WNW-ESE trending rift systems: Corinth Rift and the Evia Rift as well as a major ... -
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 ... -
