VRSvalbard – a photosphere-based atlas of a high Arctic geo-landscape
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Recent technological advances provide opportunities to enhance students’ learning. Field-based geoscience education is no exception. Traditional pedagogy of field teaching, although invaluable, sometimes struggles to provide ... -
Classification and quantification of minor iron-sulfide concentrations in concrete aggregate using automated mineralogy
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2025)Iron sulfide concentrations and mineral associations triggering the internal deterioration of concrete structures are still enigmatic. Incidences of internal sulfate attacks induced by iron sulfide-containing concrete ... -
A Comparative Study of UCS Results Obtained from Triaxial Tests Under Multiple Failure State Conditions (Test Type II)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2025)In any rock engineering project, the uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) is one of the most relevant parameters to be determined as it is used for a variety of purposes. Traditionally, the UCS of a rock sample is obtained ... -
Effect of drill string lateral vibrations on wellbore stability and optimal mud pressure determination
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2025)Wellbore instability is a critical issue in drilling operations, contributing to significant non-productive time and costly delays. While previous studies have focused on physicochemical and mechanical causes of wellbore ... -
Advancing Responsible Mining: Machine Learning and MWD Data for Blast Optimization in Quarry Operations
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2025:111, Doctoral thesis, 2025)The PhD project aims to bring substantial advancements to blasting operations in the studied quarries through the application of data analysis and machine learning techniques. This approach will provide significant ... -
Trapdoor Viscous Remanent Magnetization
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Viscous remanent magnetization (VRM) in multidomain (MD) particles has many puzzling properties that deviate from the current VRM theory, based on Néel's single-domain model of magnetic particles with an almost symmetric ... -
Investigating the effect of hole size, bottom hole temperature, and composition on cement bonding quality of exploratory wells in Iran
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)The oil and gas industry’s reliance on well cementing practices to ensure well integrity and productivity is a pressing concern, particularly in exploratory wells where unpredictable conditions can lead to subpar cement ... -
Impact of the Ceria Particle Oxidation State on the Collecting Properties of Sophorolipids and Benzohydroxamic Acid
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)The search for environmentally friendly alternatives to petroleum-based reagents in mineral processing requires fundamental studies of novel chemicals in model mineral systems. In this study, we evaluate the potential of ... -
Mitigating gas migration with eutectic bismuth alloy plugs
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Gas migration is an important concern to address in oil wells, especially in those that are to be abandoned. Stopping a gas leakage is not a simple task, and this can be particularly detrimental when setting a cement plug, ... -

Methods to Design and Manage Energy-Efficient Offshore Hydrocarbon Production Systems
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2025:83, Doctoral thesis, 2025)The world is facing the urgent challenge of climate change, and Norway is committed to reducing CO2 emissions while maintaining oil and gas production levels. The LowEmission project, which this thesis is a part of, has ... -
Crustal Heterogeneity Onshore Central Spitsbergen: Insights From New Gravity and Vintage Geophysical Data
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2025)Gravity data provide constraints on lateral subsurface density variations and thus provide crucial insights into the geological evolution of the region. Previously, gravity data from the Norwegian Arctic archipelago of ... -
Pore-scale Investigations of Fluid Flow and Interfacial Mass Transfer
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2024:510, Doctoral thesis, 2025)In this thesis, we investigated fluid flow in porous media from a pore-scale perspective and derived continuum-scale properties. This study conducts statistical analysis of single-phase flow and implements experimental and ... -
Color-gradient-based phase-field equation for multiphase flow
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)In this paper, the underlying problem with the color-gradient (CG) method in handling density-contrast fluids is explored. It is shown that the CG method is not fluid invariant. Based on nondimensionalizing the CG method, ... -
