    • Dither signal optimization for multi-agent extremum seeking control 

      Silva, Thiago Lima; Pavlov, Alexey (Chapter, 2020)
      In this paper we formulate and solve the problem of multi-agent extremum seeking with dither signals optimization. The solution is a distributed perturbation-based extremum-seeking controller with an additional objective ...
    • Dither signals optimization in constrained multi-agent extremum seeking control 

      Silva, Thiago Lima; Pavlov, Alexey (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      In this paper we consider the problem of optimization of a multi-agent system with constraints through perturbations-based extremum seeking control. We demonstrate that for such systems, effects of dither signals applied ...

      Martinez Guzman, Ricardo Jose; Vinje, Vetle; Stovas, Alexei; Mispel, Joachim; Ringrose, Philip Stefan; Duffaut, Kenneth; Landrø, Martin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)
      We have derived an analytical approximate expression to estimate the delay in diving seismic waves due to thin layers of CO2. The expression is valid for high frequencies and can be used to estimate the delay in diving ...
    • Do Various Respirator Models Fit the Workers in the Norwegian Smelting Industry? 

      Føreland, Solveig; Robertsen, Øystein; Hegseth, Marit Nøst (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Background Respirator fit testing is a method to assess if the respirator provides an adequate face seal for the worker. Methods Workers from four Norwegian smelters were invited to participate in the study, and 701 ...
    • Downhole Completion of Dual-Lateral Well in Smørbukk Sør, Åsgard 

      Olsen, Katrine Morset (Master thesis, 2010)
      Multilateral technology has become a widespread well solution, providing several advantages in terms of exploiting both equipment and reservoirs to the utmost. Having multilateral wells allows marginal formations to be ...
    • Downhole errors 

      Christoffer Rame Sigvathsen (Master thesis, 2019)
      En av de viktigste utfordringene i industrien i dag er å finne tiltak som kan redusere kostnad. En måte å gjøre dette på er å gjøre boreoperasjonen mer effektiv ved å fjerne kildene til nedetid. Ved å fjerne kilden til en ...
    • Downhole failures revealed through ontology engineering 

      Skalle, Pål; Aamodt, Agnar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Frequency of failures occurring during offshore oil-well drilling do not diminish over time, probably due to increased operational complexity. The volume and frequency of information generated during the drilling process ...
    • Downhole Mechanical Isolation Equipment - Analysis of retrieval operations 

      Sortland, Ole Severin Tønder (Master thesis, 2015)
      To encounter challenges when retrieving downhole mechanical isolation (DMI) equipment like plugs, junk baskets and prongs, using well intervention techniques, are not uncommon. These deviations result in additional runs, ...
    • Downsizing semi-submersible rig by using an electric BOP and riserless drilling system 

      Ahmadli, Mehman (Master thesis, 2021)
      Sammenlignet med andre sektorer er petroleumsindustrien mer konservativ for å gjøre betydelige endringer, og for å tilpasse ny teknologi. Olje- og gasselskapene foretrekker å holde seg til de tradisjonelle og velprøvde ...
    • Drainage Potential Curves of Single Tapping Point for Bulk Oil–Water Separation in Pipe 

      Asaadian, Hamidreza; Harstad, Sigurd; Stanko Wolf, Milan Edvard (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      In this study, experimental quantification of drainage potential curves for unspiked and spiked Exxsol D60 was performed and compared against simplified numerical model results. This potential relates to the flow rate of ...
    • Drainage Strategy of Gamma Main Statfjord at the Oseberg Main Field 

      Birkeland, Marie (Master thesis, 2016)
      One of the most important jobs of a reservoir engineer is to predict the future production and behaviour of a reservoir. In order to be able to do this job the reservoir engineer is dependent on having a sufficient reservoir ...
    • Drift Flux Pipeflow Calculations Using Consistent Black-Oil PVT 

      Forsetløkken, Sindre Langås (Master thesis, 2020)
      Abstract will be available on 2023-07-01
    • Driftsplan for kullfelt langs H1 i Gruve 7, med fokus på produktkvalitet, infrastruktur og avdrivingsplan 

      Mork, Gunstein (Master thesis, 2010)
      Gruve 7 befinner seg i en situasjon hvor kjente reserver i løpet av få år vil være tømt. Fokuset har derfor blitt rettet mot ressurser i ytre deler av gruva. Området har tidligere vært uinteressant på grunn av dårligere ...
    • Drillability in real-time. 

      Richardsen, Martin Lagesen (Master thesis, 2013)
      The formation drillability is an elusive parameter. For theoretical consideration it considered constant and given a value which is representative for the drillability for formations in the Mexican Gulf. The drillability ...
    • Drilling equipment erosion 

      Mjelde, Per Hammersland (Master thesis, 2018)
      Erosion is a major problem in the oil and gas industry. The primary focus within the industry has been within oil and gas production as erosion is a limiting factor for production rates, and therefore heavily economically ...
