A laboratory scale approach to wettability restoration in chalk core samples
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Wettability in chalk has been studied comprehensively to understand fluid flow mechanisms impacting coreflooding experiments. Wettability becomes paramount in understanding the parameters influencing chalk-fluid interactions. ... -
A Novel Empirical and Deep Ensemble Super Learning Approach in Predicting Reservoir Wettability via Well Logs
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Accurately measuring wettability is of the utmost importance because it influences several reservoir parameters while also impacting reservoir potential, recovery, development, and management plan. As such, this study ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Modelling of creep compacting outcrop chalks injected with Ca-Mg-Na-Cl brines at reservoir conditions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Numerical and analytical 1D solutions are presented to interpret the link between geochemical alterations and creep compaction (compaction under constant effective stress) in chalk cores. Chemically reactive flow enhancing ... -
The Middle Jurassic to lowermost Cretaceous in the SW Barents Sea: Interplay between tectonics, coarse-grained sediment supply and organic matter preservation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Syn‐rift successions contain both prolific organic‐rich and coarse‐grained rocks, but these rocks are usually studied independently. Thus, the interplay among organic matter deposition, tectonics and sediment supply is not ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Joint History Matching of Multiple Types of Field Data in a 3D Field-Scale Case Study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-08)This work presents an ensemble-based workflow to simultaneously assimilate multiple types of field data in a proper and consistent manner. The aim of using multiple field datasets is to improve the reliability of estimated ... -
Water Weakening of Artificially Fractured Chalk, Fracture Modification and Mineral Precipitation during Water Injection—An Experimental Study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-05)This experiment was designed to study the water-weakening effect of artificially fractured chalk caused by the injection of different compositions of brines under reservoir conditions replicating giant hydrocarbon reservoirs ... -
An Analytical TOOLBOX for the Characterization of Chalks and Other Fine-Grained Rock Types within Enhanced Oil Recovery Research and Its Application—A Guideline
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-06)Analyses of fine-grained rocks like shales, cherts, and specifically chalk are challenging with regards to spatial resolution. We propose a “toolbox” to understand mineralogical alteration in chalk, especially those induced ... -
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 ... -
Prediction of Oil Recovery Factor in Stratified Reservoirs after Immiscible Water-Alternating-Gas Injection based on PSO-, GSA-, GWO-, and GA-LSSVM
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)In this study, we solve the challenge of predicting oil recovery factor (RF) in layered heterogeneous reservoirs after 1.5 pore volumes of water-, gas- or water-alternating-gas (WAG) injection. A dataset of ~2500 reservoir ... -
High-Resolution Topographic and Chemical Surface Imaging of Chalk for Oil Recovery Improvement Applications

Characteristic forced and spontaneous imbibition behavior in strongly water-wet sandstones based on experiments and simulation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-05)Forced and spontaneous imbibition of water is performed to displace oil from strongly water-wet Gray Berea (~130 mD) and Bentheimer (~1900 mD) sandstone core plugs. Two nonpolar oils (n-heptane and Marcol-82) were used as ... -
Load mitigation method for wind turbines during emergency shutdowns
