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 ... -
Energi til norsk veksthusnæring - bruk av naturgass som energibærer og CO2-kilde
(Bioforsk Rapport;, Research report, 2006)Norsk gartnerinæring bruker anslagsvis 1 000 GWh per år. Planteproduksjon i veksthus her i landet har stort behov for elektrisk energi og avhengig av kultur og produksjonsopplegg varierer andelen elektrisk energi fra 50-80 ... -
Ensemble-based constrained optimization using an exterior penalty method
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)In science and engineering, non-linear constrained optimization has been a useful mathematical technique for many practical applications. Of interest to us is its applicability in the modeling and prediction of hydrocarbon ... -
Estimation of Adsorption Capacity of CO2, CH4, and their Binary Mixtures in Quidam Shale using LSSVM: Application in CO2 Enhanced Shale Gas Recovery and CO2 Storage
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-02)Carbon dioxide enhanced shale gas recovery depends strongly on adsorption properties of carbon dioxide and methane. In this work, Least Squares Support Vector Machine (LSSVM) optimized by Particle Swarm Optimization, has ... -
etrological, geochemical (major, trace, and rare earth elements), and U–Pb zircon data of the Tamatán Group, NE Mexico
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)From samples of the Paleozoic Tamatán Group (Huizachal–Peregrina Anticlinorium, Tamaulipas, Mexico), petrographic (qualitative and modal) and geochemical analyses (major, trace, and rare earth elements) were conducted. The ... -
Evaluation of Surface-Active Ionic Liquids in Smart Water for Enhanced Oil Recovery in Carbonate Rocks
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Ionic modification of injected brines (Smart Water EOR) has previously demonstrated great potential for wettability alteration in carbonates from initially mixed-wet toward more water-wet conditions. However, the efficiency ... -
Flow behavior of thermo-thickening associative polymers in porous media: effects of associative content, salinity, time, velocity, and temperature
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Above a critical temperature, thermo-thickening associative polymers (TAPs) have a superior ability to decrease the mobility of the water phase, compared to traditional polymers for enhanced oil recovery. The ability to ... -
Frequency-dependent AVO inversion applied to physically based models for seismic attenuation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Seismic inversion of amplitude versus offset (AVO) data in viscoelastic media can potentially provide high-resolution subsurface models of seismic velocities and attenuation from offset/angle seismic gathers. P- and S-wave ... -
High-Resolution Topographic and Chemical Surface Imaging of Chalk for Oil Recovery Improvement Applications
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-03)Chalk is a very fine-grained carbonate and can accommodate high porosity which is a key characteristic for high-quality hydrocarbon reservoirs. A standard procedure within Improved Oil Recovery (IOR) is seawater-injection ... -
