      Aasnes, Mona Øygarden (Master thesis, 2017)
      Improving the present P&A operation with respect to costs and safety is of current interest to the petroleum industry. This is because this operation will frequently be performed in the future due to the large number of ...
    • Improved Casing Collapse Prediction with a Case Study of Asset Life Extension 

      Kornberg, Even Mikael (Master thesis, 2017)
      The current industry accepted standards of predicting collapse strength of casings are pessimistic and inaccurate. With wells being drilled ever deeper, high strength pipes are required in order to comply with rules and ...
    • Influence of Hole Trajectory and Direction on MWD Survey Errors 

      Hassan, Syed Muhammad Reza (Master thesis, 2018)
      Wellbore positioning is important to meet directional drilling objectives. Inaccurate wellbore surveys can lead to wellbore collision, failure to penetrate thin reservoir sections and drilling of relief wells etc. Such ...
    • Kick Tolerance for HPHT 

      Pettersen, Line (Master thesis, 2014)
      Safety is of great importance during a drilling operation. Where the worstcase scenario is that the well will kick and it will lead to a blowout. The bestway to handle disasters is to avoid them. Kick tolerance is a planning ...
