A natural Hessian approximation for ensemble based optimization
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)A key challenge in reservoir management and other fields of engineering involves optimizing a nonlinear function iteratively. Due to the lack of available gradients in commercial reservoir simulators the attention over the ... -
Compositional variation of the Zechstein Group in the Norwegian North sea: Implications for underground storage in salt caverns
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Halite beds in the upper Permian Zechstein Group represent an opportunity for the future development of underground storage caverns. However, geological factors such as lithological heterogeneities, cap rock characteristics ... -
Adaptive machine learning-based surrogate modeling to accelerate PDE-constrained optimization in enhanced oil recovery
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)In this contribution, we develop an efficient surrogate modeling framework for simulation-based optimization of enhanced oil recovery, where we particularly focus on polymer flooding. The computational approach is based ... -
Polysulphate: A New Enhanced Oil Recovery Additive to Maximize the Oil Recovery From Carbonate Reservoirs at High Temperature
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Seawater (SW) injection is an enhanced oil recovery (EOR) success in the North Sea carbonate reservoirs due to wettability alteration toward a more water-wet state. This process is triggered by the difference in composition ... -

Optimum directional well path design considering collapse and fracture pressures
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Well path optimisation is often done based on the wellbore stability where the production related concerns are ignored. In fact, many of the studies carried out in the past have not included hydraulic fractures into their ... -
Assessment of parameters effectiveness in the reserve estimation methods applicable to coal bed methane reservoirs
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The reserve estimation of coal bed methane (CBM) reservoirs is ascertained through the analytical methods (volumetric method, material balance equation and decline curve analysis). However, the adoption of reserve estimation ... -
Influence of Sandstone Mineralogy on the Adsorption of Polar Crude Oil Components and Its Effect on Wettability
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The crude oil–brine–rock (COBR) system is a combination of contacting phases where polar organic molecules in crude oil, inorganic ions from the brine phase, and charged mineral surfaces participate in complex interactions. ... -
Assessment of a mature hydrocarbon field in SE Czech Republic for a CO2 storage pilot
