Materials for Well Integrity: Performance of Setting Materials for Well Cementing Operation
(PhD thesis UiS;642, Doctoral thesis, 2022-05)Primary cementing operation is the process of pumping and placing a cementitious slurry in a well. After setting, the so-called barrier material has to provide zonal isolation in the annular gap behind casing string. After ... -
Mathematical modeling of cancer cell migration - from in vitro to in vivo
(PhD thesis UiS;511, Doctoral thesis, 2020-05)Tumors has been the object of computational model studies for nearly five decades. The early models considered simple tumor growth based on nutrients, whereas models now can simulate from microscale gene expressions in ... -
Mathematical modeling of compressible and incompressible multiphase flow based on mixture theory
(PhD thesis UiS;501, Doctoral thesis, 2020-11)MIXTURE THEORY has been developed based on balance laws and conservation principles which is well known in continuum mechanics, and has been widely applied to systems which can be characterized as a mixture of interacting ... -
Mathematical Modelling of the Drilling Process for Real-time Applications in Drilling Simulation, Interpretation and Assistance
(PhD thesis UiS;, no.;506, Doctoral thesis, 2019)For the last thirty years, mathematical modelling has been used to develop software solutions that support drilling engineering activities at the planning stage of drilling operations. But it is only for the last decade ... -
Nanoparticles for Oil Well Drilling Fluids and Cement
(PhD Theses;738, Doctoral thesis, 2024)Drilling fluids and oil well cement are essential elements of the drilling process and well construction. Drilling fluids play a crucial role in the drilling process, ensuring the safety and efficiency of well construction. ... -
Numerical Modelling of Gas Production and CO2 Injection in Tight Shale Reservoirs for Enhanced Gas Recovery
(PhD thesis;560, Doctoral thesis, 2020-11)Natural gas production from shales has become exceedingly important in satisfying the ever-growing global energy demands. This unconventional hydrocarbon system is globally abundant, with large technically recoverable ... -
Ostwald ripening of trapped gas bubbles in porous media : A pore-scale perspective
(PhD thesis UiS;747, Doctoral thesis, 2024)Ostwald ripening of gas bubbles is a thermodynamic process for mass transfer, which is significant for both foam-enhanced oil recovery and underground gas storage. During recovery, it can impact the macroscopic efficiency. ... -
Particle Settling in shear thinning non-Newtonian drilling fluids : Effect of oscillatory motion
(PhD thesis UiS;537, Doctoral thesis, 2020-09)When drilling fluids circulate through the well and during the solids control operations, they are exposed to vibrations and oscillations of different frequencies and amplitudes. The secondary flow structures in oscillatory ... -
Prediction, interpolation and extrapolation of drilling data with Deep Learning
(Doctoral thesis, 2022-11)Directional drilling is an established technology within the petroleum industry. In this traditionally conservative and risk averse environment application of artificial intelligence encounters difficulties at various ... -
Safety and reliability improvements of valves and actuators for the offshore oil and gas industry through optimized design
(PhD thesis UiS;573, Doctoral thesis, 2021-02)Valves are essential components of piping systems in the oil and gas industry, especially offshore, where they are used for stopping or starting the fluid, flow regulation, and back flow prevention, as well as safety ... -
Solvent-Free Electrode Fabrication Based on Polytetrafluoroethylene Fibrillation for Lithium-ion Batteries
(PhD Theses;883, Doctoral thesis, 2023)The commercial lithium-ion batteries (LiBs) electrodes are manufactured with slurry casting (SC) procedure, where a large amount of energy is consumed, increasing the manufacturing cost a lot. In addition, the SC procedure ... -
Synthesis and Development of One-part Rock-based Geopolymers for Well Cementing Applications
(PhD Theses UiS;717, Doctoral thesis, 2023)A one-part or Just Add Water (JAW) geopolymer system is an environmental- and user-friendly alternative to Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) and conventional geopolymers. It helps with producing lower CO2 emissions avoiding ... -
Techno-economic assessment of decarbonisation technologies for the iron and steel industry
(PhD Theses;704, Doctoral thesis, 2023)Rapid decarbonisation of all segments of the economy is essential to limit the global mean surface temperature rise to 1.5ºC. Industries contribute to approximately a quarter of the global energy related emissions but have ... -
Transition-metal-mediated electrocatalytic CO2 reduction: from nanoparticles to single-atom catalysts
(PhD Theses;709, Doctoral thesis, 2023)With the rapid development of the global economy, energy crisis and environment issues have become increasingly prominent. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a primary greenhouse gas (CHG), while it could also be a valuable carbon ...
