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 ... -
Simulation study of wettability alteration enhanced oil recovery during co-current spontaneous imbibition
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)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 ... -
Steady State Gas Flow from Tight Shale Matrix Subject to Water Blocking
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)This work studies 1D steady-state flow of gas from compressible shale matrix subject to water blocking toward a neighboring fracture. Water blocking is a capillary end effect causing wetting phase (e.g., water) to accumulate ... -
Steady State Relative Permeability Experiments with Capillary End Effects: Analytical Solutions including Derivation of the Intercept Method
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-04)Steady state relative permeability experiments are performed by coinjection of two (or more) immiscible fluids. The relative permeabilities can be calculated directly from the stabilized pressure drop and saturation of the ... -

Structural evolution of sheared margin basins: the role of strain partitioning. Sørvestsnaget Basin, Norwegian Barents Sea
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017-07)Spatio-temporal analysis of basins formed along sheared margins has received much less attention than those formed along orthogonally extended margins. Knowledge about the structural evolution of such basins is important ... -
Structural geologic modeling and restoration using ensemble Kalman inversion
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-06)We demonstrate the use of Ensemble Kalman Inversion (EKI) for building three-dimensional, multi-fault, kinematically restorable structural geologic models, by means of a workflow in which fault geometry, the distribution ... -
Theoretical Comparison of Two Setups for Capillary Pressure Measurement by Centrifuge
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)There are several approaches for the calculation of capillary pressure curves in porous media including the centrifuge method. In this work, a new installation of centrifuge test is introduced and compared with the traditional ... -
Thermal stability and interactions with sedimentary rocks under typical reservoir conditions of selected pyridines investigated as phase partitioning tracers
(Journal article, 2021)Pyridine, 2-hydroxy-6-methylpyridine, 3-hydroxypyridine, and 4-methoxypyridine are evaluated as potential phase-partitioning oil field tracers. Their stability is tested in a brine for 12 weeks at temperatures between 25 ... -
Time lapse seismic analysis of the Tohoku-Oki 2011 earthquake
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)A detailed time lapse seismic analysis of subsurface movements is presented using seismic 2D lines acquired prior to and after the Tohoku-Oki earthquake offshore Japan in 2011. Estimated movements of the seabed from the ... -
