Constrained non-linear AVO inversion based on the adjoint-state optimization
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Pre-stack AVO inversion of seismic data is a modeling tool for estimating subsurface elastic properties. Our focus is on the model-based inversion method where then unknown variables are estimated by minimizing the misfit ... -
Core wettability reproduction: A new solvent cleaning and core restoration strategy for chalk cores
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Laboratory core restoration procedures include different core cleaning solvents, establishment of initial water saturation (Swi) by diverse techniques and processes of crude oil exposure that influence the final core wetting ... -
Core-scale sensitivity study of CO2 foam injection strategies for mobility control, enhanced oil recovery, and CO2 storage
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)This paper presents experimental and numerical sensitivity studies to assist injection strategy design for an ongoing CO2 foam field pilot. The aim is to increase the success of in-situ CO2 foam generation and propagation ... -
Data assimilation with soft constraints (DASC) through a generalized iterative ensemble smoother
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)This work investigates an ensemble-based workflow to simultaneously handle generic, nonlinear equality and inequality constraints in reservoir data assimilation problems. The proposed workflow is built upon a recently ... -
Debiasing probabilistic oil production forecasts
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Exploration and production companies in the hydrocarbon industry have every interest in producing unbiased production forecasts at the time of the investment decision, since it is an intrinsic part of making oil field ... -
Determination of phase-partitioning tracer candidates in production waters from oilfields based on solid-phase microextraction followed by gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-08)In the present document, we report the development of an analytical method consisting of a sequential direct-immersion/headspace solid-phase microextraction (DI-HS-SPME) followed by gas-phase chromatography and tandem mass ... -
Discovery of shale gas in organic rich Jurassic successions, Adventdalen, Central Spitsbergen, Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-01)Thermogenic dry gas flowed from Jurassic sections in the DH5R research well drilled onshore in Adventdalen, central Spitsbergen, Arctic Norway. The DH5R gas originates from the organic-rich units of the mudstone-dominated ... -
Discrete Element Modelling of Sedimentation and Tectonics: Implications for the Growth of Thrust Faults and Thrust Wedges in Space and Time, and the Interpretation of Syn-Tectonic (Growth) Strata
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-09)Thrust faults, and thrust wedges, are an important part of the surface morphology and structure of many contractional mountain belts. Analogue models of thrust wedges typically provide a map- and/or side-view of their ... -
Early and Late Time Analytical Solutions for Co-current Spontaneous Imbibition and Generalized Scaling
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)We propose an explicit analytical solution for 1D cocurrent (COC) spontaneous imbibition (SI) in which a core is exposed to water (inlet) and oil (outlet). The system is described using an advection-capillary diffusion ... -
Effect of Initial Wettability on Rock Mechanics and Oil Recovery: Comparative Study on Outcrop Chalks
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Brines containing surface-active divalent ions such as Ca2+, Mg2+ and SO42− impact the stiffness, strength and time-dependent deformation of water wet Mons outcrop chalk. This study documents how stiffness and strength of ... -
Effective fluid bulk modulus in the partially saturated rock and the amplitude dispersion effects
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Frequency dispersion is a well-known effect in geophysics, which means that waves of different wavelengths propagate at different velocities. Amplitude dispersion is a less-known effect, which means that waves of different ... -
Effects of permeability on CO2 dissolution and convection at reservoir temperature and pressure conditions: A visualization study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-06)When CO2 is injected into aquifers, CO2 will dissolve into the water phase. CO2 dissolution initiated by diffusion, will increase the density of the water phase and thereby commence the convective flow of CO2. The objective ... -
Effects of pore fluids on quasi‐static shear modulus caused by pore‐scale interfacial phenomena
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)It is evident from the laboratory experiments that shear moduli of different porous isotropic rocks may show softening behaviour upon saturation. The shear softening means that the shear modulus of dry samples is higher ... -
Efficient Dimensionality Reduction Methods in Reservoir History Matching
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-05)Production forecasting is the basis for decision making in the oil and gas industry, and can be quite challenging, especially in terms of complex geological modeling of the subsurface. To help solve this problem, assisted ... -
