Rock physics model of shale: Predictive aspect
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Shales often show strong elastic anisotropy that originate from the alignment and platy nature of its constituent minerals. Despite its impact on AVO (Amplitude Variation with Offset) response and seismic time-shifts, ... -
Full Waveform Inversion of Wide-Angle Ocean Bottom Seismometer data of a synthetic subduction zone model
(Master thesis, 2021)The water, which penetrated the upper part of the crust gets dragged down in a subduction zone, consecutively it gets released due to increasing heat and migrates in the above tectonic plate. This is believed to be the ... -
Pegmatite petrogenesis and PT-calculations regarding the magmatic-hydrothermal-transition in Tørdal, SE Norway, compared to The Land's End Granite, SW England
(Master thesis, 2021)Ett 3 km langt belte bestående av 300 pegmatittkropper er lokalisert i Tørdal-Treungen granitten, SØ Norge. Denne oppgaven er ett bidrag til nylige ideer om deres petrogenese og den magmatisk-hydrotermale overgangen ... -
Effective Seismic model from Fractured rock
(Master thesis, 2021)Analyses of vertical fractures are of great interest in characterizing the fluid flow and minimum in situ stress direction in reservoirs. Fractures are responsible for permeability anisotropy in a reservoir. Fractures can ... -
Real-Time Data-Driven Drilling Optimization
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2021;348, Doctoral thesis, 2021)Drilling a well for exploration or production of petroleum resources is a costly and complicated procedure. There is a great potential for cost reduction by drilling safer, faster and with less Non-Productive Time (NPT). ... -
Cyclic fatigue in unlined hydro tunnels caused by pressure transients
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Regulated hydropower is currently the most capable load balancing technology for the future renewable energy system which will be characterized by a large share of unregulated energy from solar and wind power. Increased ... -
The controlling factors for runout lengths for “steinskred” in Hordaland, developing of a new α-β method for “steinskred” and analyses of the flow behavior “steinskred” event in Modalen, 1953
(Master thesis, 2021)Steinskred er en norsk betegnelse på et lite fjellskred eller et stort steinsprang. Denne faren er et velkjent fenomen i Norge, og kan forårsake katastrofale hendelser hvis den har rekkevidde som treffer hus eller annen ... -
Reliable Unmanned Autonomous Systems: Conceptual Framework for Warning Identification during Remote Operations
(Journal article, 2021)In the offshore industry, unmanned autonomous systems are expected to have a permanent role in future operations. During offshore operations, the unmanned autonomous system needs definite instructions on evaluating the ... -
Experimental Analysis and Characterization of Deep-Sea Sediment Samples From Loki's Castle and Mohn's Treasure
(Master thesis, 2021)Verden står i dag overfor det grønne skiftet. Ved overgang til grønn energi, vil behovet for metaller som kobber, sink og kobolt øke. I tilleg til å skape et insentiv for arealkonflikter fører den kontinuerlige utnyttelsen ... -
Grunnvanns- og løsmassekartlegging med georadar for etablering av et akvakulturanlegg på Frya i Gudbrandsdalen
(Master thesis, 2021)En åpen akvifer på Frya er blitt kartlagt systematisk med georadar for å kartlegge grunnvannsstrømmen, interaksjonen mellom akviferen og elvene Frya og Gudbrandsdalslågen, samt løsmassemektigheten og -sammensetningen. ... -
Forkastningsarkitektur, deformasjonsprodukter og omvandling i en kompleks forkastningssone i Pervika, Sør-Trøndelag
(Master thesis, 2021)Pervika forkastningssone, i Sørvest-Trøndelag, er en kompleks forkastningssone som har tilhørighet til Møre-Trøndelag forkastningskompleks (MTFK). De to forkastningene studert i Pervika, viser en komplisert utvikling, med ... -
Million node fracture: size matters?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Transmissivity of self-affine fractures was computed numerically as a function of the grid size. One-million-node fractures (1024 × 1024 nodes) with fractal dimensions of 2.2–2.6 were cut into successively smaller fractures ... -
Linking molecular structures of yeast-derived biosurfactants with their foaming, interfacial, and flotation properties
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Yeast-derived bola amphiphiles have attracted growing attention in various industrial sectors as green reagents. However, their physico-chemical properties relevant to mineral separation by froth flotation are poorly ... -
A Mathematical Programming Approach to Determine Optimal Tieback Development Concepts of Two Offshore Oil Fields in the Barents Sea
(Chapter, 2021)In this paper, we present a mathematical programming approach to evaluate the conceptual study of regional integrated development for Alta-Gohta discoveries in the Barents Sea. Two alternative scenarios are investigated, ... -
Subsea field layout optimization (part II)–the location-allocation problem of manifolds
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The location-allocation problem of manifolds, which is a part of subsea field layout optimization, directly affects the flowline cost. This problem has always been studied as a mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) ... -
Subsea field layout optimization (part III) --- the location-allocation problem of drilling sites
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)This study proposes an efficient method to optimize the subsea field layout with the aim of minimizing the subsea field development cost, based on the two methods introduced in Part I and Part II for solving the well ... -
Subsea field layout optimization (Part I) – directional well trajectory planning based on 3D Dubins Curve
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Directional well trajectory planning, which includes the optimization of the drilling site location and the trajectory between the drilling site to the completion interval, plays an important role in reducing subsea field ... -
Numerical Modelling of the Stress Field and Failure Behaviour of Grouted Rocks
