The impact of seismic interpretation methods on the analysis of faults: a case study from the Snøhvit field, Barents Sea
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Five seismic interpretation experiments were conducted on an area of interest containing a fault relay in the Snøhvit field, Barents Sea, Norway, to understand how the interpretation method impacts the analysis of fault ... -
Variation of the partition coefficient of phase-partitioning compounds between hydrocarbon and aqueous phases: an experimental study.
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Many non-ionic chemical compounds will form real solutions in equilibrium between two immiscible phases in contact. The partition coefficient (K) is defined as the quotient between the equilibrium concentration of the ... -
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 ... -
Investigating the PS seismic imaging of faults using seismic modelling and data from the Snøhvit field, Barents Sea
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)PS seismic data from the Snøhvit field are compared with seismic modelling to understand the effect of azimuthal separation and incidence angle on the imaging of faults and associated horizon discontinuities. In addition, ... -
Influencing factors on petrography interpretations in provenance research – a case-study review
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The use of framework petrography is a common initial step in provenance research of sand and sandstone. The data tend to be interpreted based on the three main components quartz, feldspar, and lithic fragments. Surprisingly ... -
CO2 Dissolution and Convection in Oil at Realistic Reservoir Conditions: A Visualization Study.
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)CO2 convective mixing has been extensively studied for CO2 dissolution in saline water but very limited with the presence of oil. The objective of this work was to visually study the supercritical CO2 (sCO2) dissolution ... -
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 ... -
CO2 Convective Dissolution in Oil-Saturated Unconsolidated Porous Media at Reservoir Conditions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)During CO2 storage, CO2 plume mixes with the water and oil present at the reservoir, initiated by diffusion followed by a density gradient that leads to a convective flow. Studies are available where CO2 convective mixing ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
A Visual Investigation of CO2 Convective Mixing in Water and Oil at the Pore Scale Using a Micromodel Apparatus at Reservoir Conditions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-01)CO2 convective mixing in water has been visualized in Hele-Shaw and PVT cell experiments but not at the pore scale. Furthermore, CO2 convective mixing in a three-phase system (i.e., CO2 in the presence of both water and ... -
Load mitigation method for wind turbines during emergency shutdowns
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-02)Wind turbines experience countless shutdowns during their lifetimes. A shutdown is a transient process characterised by a pitch-to-feather manoeuvre of three blades. Such a pitch manoeuvre is often collective, open-loop, ... -
Managing Uncertainty in Geological CO2 Storage Using Bayesian Evidential Learning
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-03)Carbon capture and storage (CCS) has been increasingly looking like a promising strategy to reduce CO2 emissions and meet the Paris agreement’s climate target. To ensure that CCS is safe and successful, an efficient ... -
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. ... -
Machine learning based decline curve analysis for short-term oil production forecast
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-05)Traditional decline curve analyses (DCAs), both deterministic and probabilistic, use specific models to fit production data for production forecasting. Various decline curve models have been applied for unconventional ... -
Mineralogy and geochemistry of reservoir and non-reservoir chalk from the Norwegian continental shelf
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-05)A first and detailed study of the geochemistry and mineralogy characterizing the North Sea reservoir and non-reservoir chalk is provided in this work. The study is based on 185 cores from exploration and development wells ... -
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 ... -
