Low cost deep water wells
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKM/2012;, Master thesis, 2012)A major cost-factor of drilling deep water wells today is associated with the high day rates of the larger rigs capable of drilling in such depths. Most subsea completions today are based on the 18-3/4” wellheads system. ... -
Low Pressure Adsorption of Carbon Dioxide and Nitrogen on Activated Carbon and Zeolite 13X
(Master thesis, 2023)Several gas separation techniques have been used throughout the year, however the most cost effective and energy efficient gas separation process to date is that of adsorption. Adsorption of carbon dioxide from flue or ... -
Low salinity effect after sea water flooding in sandstone reservoirs
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2012;, Master thesis, 2012)Clays are the main wetting minerals and have permanently negative surface charges. The negative charges must be balanced by; active cat ions, polar components or H+. pH changes is observed in the effluent by flooding in ... -
Low salinity eor-potential for Yme at reservoir conditions : an experimental study
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IØRP/2012;, Master thesis, 2012-06-14)The composition of the water injected into a reservoir affects the oil recovery. Injecting water with low salinity (LowSal) has been proved by several studies to improve the water wetness of the rock and thereby increase ... -
Low salinity water flooding as EOR method in chalk reservoir
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2013;, Master thesis, 2013-11-11)During the last few years studies of the low salinity water flooding effect, in general, have demonstrated an additional oil recovery associated with flooding oil reservoirs with low salinity water. Numerous theories ... -
Low temperature thermomechanical treatment of corrosion resistant alloys
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKM/2013;, Master thesis, 2013)Wear deteriorates materials and are a widespread problem in many areas of industry. To some extent, all physical materials experience wear in one form or another by moving gas, particles, fluids or a combination of these ... -
Low Z-4OHtam concentrations are associated with adverse clinical outcome among early stage premenopausal breast cancer patients treated with adjuvant tamoxifen
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Low steady‐state levels of active tamoxifen metabolites have been associated with inferior treatment outcomes. In this retrospective analysis of 406 estrogen receptor‐positive breast cancer (BC) patients receiving adjuvant ... -
Low- versus high-resolution assessment of reservoir compartmentalization in the Wisting field, Norwegian Barents Sea.
(Master thesis, 2021)Wisting is Norway’s northernmost oil field under development. With ~500 mmboe in shallow marine to fluvial Upper Triassic to Middle Jurassic reservoirs, which are highly faulted and just 250-300 m below sea bottom, this ... -
Low-concentration salting of cod loins: The effect on biochemical properties and predicted water retention during heating
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-10)Low levels of salt are frequently used to increase flavor and water retention in cod. This alters the biochemical properties of cod during heating. In this paper, properties needed to mathematically model moisture transfer ... -
A Low-Cost Wireless Body Area Network for Human Activity Recognition in Healthy Life and Medical Applications
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Moved by the necessity, also related to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, of the design of innovative solutions in the context of digital health, and digital medicine, Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) are more and more ... -
Low-flow anestesi - anbefalinger for trygg bruk. En kunnskapsbasert fagprosedyre for low-flow inhalasjonsanestesi.
(Masteroppgave/UIS-SV-IH/2016;, Master thesis, 2016-05)Vi har undersøkt anbefalinger for bruk av low-flow inhalasjonsanestesi. Gjennomgang av forskning avdekket sprikende anbefalinger. Vi erkjente et behov for å oppsummere og kvalitetsvurdere forskningskunnskapen, og i tverrfaglig ... -
Low-frequency reflection seismic and direct hydrocarbon indication
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2014;, Master thesis, 2014-06)Low-frequency reflection seismic has been used as an indicator to detect hydrocarbons in petroliferous reservoirs. A number of spectral decomposition methods have been developed to derive seismic from time to frequency ... -
Low-frequency seismic analysis and direct hydrocarbon indicators
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IPT/2016;, Master thesis, 2016-06)Low-frequency seismic analysis has been used as a possible direct indicator of the presence of hydrocarbons in reservoirs. Laboratory examples, synthetic studies and field examples in oil and gas exploration suggest ... -
