Probabilistic model-error assessment of deep learning proxies: an application to real-time inversion of borehole electromagnetic measurements
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The advent of fast sensing technologies allow for real-time model updates in many applications where the model parameters are uncertain. Once the observations are collected, Bayesian algorithms offer a pathway for real-time ... -
Probability elicitation using geostatistics in hydrocarbon exploration
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The exploratory phase of a hydrocarbon field is a period when decision-supporting information is scarce while the drilling stakes are high. Each new prospect drilled brings more knowledge about the area and might reveal ... -
Provenance, depositional setting and diagenesis as keys to reservoir quality of the Lower Cretaceous in the SW Barents Sea
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-07)This study examines the role of the depositional environment for the final reservoir quality in four Lower Cretaceous sandstone reservoirs in the southwestern Barents Sea by linking facies to the distribution of primary ... -
PTA-metrics for time-lapse analysis of well performance
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Monitoring of a well and the surrounding reservoir performances is a crucial component in evaluating on-going and planning future well and field operations. This is carried out at all stages of a well life-span: from ... -
Reaction kinetics determined from core flooding and steady state principles for Stevns Klint and Kansas chalk injected with MgCl2 brine at reservoir temperature
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)A methodology is presented for determining reaction kinetics from core flooding: A core is flooded with reactive brine at different compositions with injection rates varied systematically. Each combination is performed ... -
Resistivity of reservoir sandstones and organic rich shales on the Barents Shelf: Implications for interpreting CSEM data
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-11)Marine controlled source electromagnetic (CSEM) data have been utilized in the past decade during petroleum exploration of the Barents Shelf, particularly for de-risking the highly porous sandstone reservoirs of the Upper ... -
Review of Different Methods for Identification of Transients in Pressure Measurements by Permanent Downhole Gauges Installed in Wells
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Permanent downhole gauges (PDG) are massively installed in injection and production wells operated in different industries such as oil and gas, geological CO2 storage, and the geothermal industry. These gauges provide a ... -
Rigorous Connectionist Models to Predict Carbon Dioxide Solubility in Various Ionic Liquids
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-01)Estimating the solubility of carbon dioxide in ionic liquids, using reliable models, is of paramount importance from both environmental and economic points of view. In this regard, the current research aims at evaluating ... -
Rotary steerable systems: mathematical modeling and their case study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-05)Directional drilling is a common and essential procedure of major extended reach drilling operations. With the development of directional drilling technologies, the percentage of recoverable oil production has increased. ... -
A Second-Order Finite Volume Method for Field-Scale Reservoir Simulation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-08)Subsurface reservoirs are large complex systems. Reservoir flow models are defined on complex grids that follow geology with relatively large block sizes to make consistent simulations feasible. Reservoir engineers rely ... -
A sequential decision and data analytics framework for maximizing value and reliability of CO2 storage monitoring
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-12)Carbon capture and sequestration (carbon capture and storage or CCS) represents a unique potential strategy that can minimize CO2 emissions in the atmosphere, and it creates a pathway toward a neutral carbon balance, which ... -
Simulation of immiscible WAG injection in a stratified reservoir -- performance characterization using a new dimensionless number
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Water alternating gas (WAG) is a well‐established enhanced‐oil‐recovery process where gas and water are injected in alternating fashion. Good volumetric sweep is achieved as water and gas target both the oil residing in ... -
Simulation study of wettability alteration enhanced oil recovery during co-current spontaneous imbibition
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-09)Naturally fractured reservoirs are highly dependent on capillary forces to recover hydrocarbons during water injection. Water can spontaneously imbibe and expel oil if positive capillary forces exist; purely counter-current ... -
