Master s Thesis Effect of Brine Concentration on Flow Properties in Two Types of Carbonate Rocks Ekofisk Chalk and Iranian Limestone : Study of Chemical Effect of Brine Composition on Flow Properties on Carbonate Rocks
(Master thesis, 2012)SummaryThe displacement of oil from reservoir rock pore spaces is a function of many interacting variables, amongst which the reservoir wetting state has been shown to be one of the important affected by the rock lithology, ... -
A material balance model based on mass conservation in the producing layer and gas and water injection in non-communicating gas-cap and aquifer layers
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)In this work a material balance model has been developed, expanding the previous work of Borthne (1986), based on: the modified black-oil model, mass-conservation in the producing layer, gas and water injection in ... -
Mathematical Optimization in Reservoir Management
(Master thesis, 2014)Getting the most out of a hydrocarbon reservoir is not a trivial task. It takes plentyof interwoven decisions to make. There are many forms of tools that support engineersto make correct decisions. The simplest ones would ... -
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, ... -
Maturing global CO2 storage resources on offshore continental margins to achieve 2DS emissions reductions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Most studies on CO2 emissions reduction strategies that address the ‘two-degree scenario’ (2DS) recognize a significant role for CCS. For CCS to be effective, it must be deployed globally on both existing and emerging ... -
Measurement of particle size distribution and specific surface area for crushed concrete aggregate fines
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Different methods for measuring particle size distribution (PSD) and specific surface area of crushed aggregate fines (⩽250 μm), produced by high-speed vertical shaft impact (VSI) crushing of rock types from different ... -
Measurements of Film Dynamics In Two-Phase Model In a Vertical Pipe
(Master thesis, 2010)The experimental work done in this thesis has been conducted at the laboratory of department of petroleum geosciences and engineering, in a vertical loop by running two-phase flow, water and air. The measurements were taken ... -
Measurements of the Capillary Entry Pressure in Shale
(Master thesis, 2014)The work in this thesis is based on setting up equipment and establishing a testing procedure for core sample measurements of capillary entry pressure in shale. The industry faces often stability problems regarding drilling ... -
Measuring the Curie temperature
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)[1] Curie point temperatures (TC) of natural and synthetic magnetic materials are commonly determined in rock magnetism by several measurement methods that can be mutually incompatible and may lead to inconsistent results. ... -
Mechanical Activation of Olivine
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2006)This paper investigates how mechanical activation of olivine can increase the mineral’s surface reactivity, and illustrates how such technology can give rise to new or improved olivine products. The olivine material used ... -
Mesozoic-Cenozoic regional stress field evolution in Svalbard
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Cooling fracture orientations in diabase sills associated with the Cretaceous High Arctic Large Igneous Province and syn‐sedimentary Triassic faults help constrain a model for Svalbard's (NE Barents Shelf) Mesozoic stress ... -
Metal oxide-based nanoparticles: revealing their potential to enhance oil recovery in different wettability systems
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)This paper presents systematic studies of hydrophilic metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs) dispersed in brine intended to reveal their potential to enhance oil recovery (EOR) in various rock wettability systems. The stability ... -
