INVESTIGATION OF STATIONARY CUTTINGS BED HEIGHT IN WASHOUT
(Master thesis, 2013)Knowledge of the amount of cuttings that have accumulated in a drilled wellbore is part of the information necessary for the effective control of bottom-hole pressure, preventing stuck pipe and minimizing circulation time ... -
Investigation of Stuck Pipe Incident KH-1 Slaovakia 2013: Root Cause Analysis
(Master thesis, 2014)Stuck pipe incidents are a major operational concern during most drilling operations. Even when stuck pipe situations are resolved, they usually require a lot of resources. In the worst case scenario stuck pipe causes loss ... -
Investigation of the StationMar concept to validate the principle of the structure and find corresponding challenges to develop a functional system
(Master thesis, 2019)Hensikten med denne masteroppgaven er å undersøke en ny flytende struktur som skal gi redusert vertikal hiv-bevegelse. Strukturen med navn StationMar vil bli presentert i denne oppgaven sammen med potensielle utfordringer ... -
Investigation of U-tube effect in drilling operation
(Master thesis, 2010)The U-tube effect is present when drilling with a low riser return system(LRRS)or a dual gradient system(DGS). For the LRRS the U-tube effect will initiate asthe surface mud pump is shut down. The mud level in the drill ... -
Investigation of WAG Potential using Compositional Model
(Master thesis, 2016)Water-alternating-gas (WAG) injection is a commonly used enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technique, for which the aim is to increase vertical sweep efficiency and reduce mobility of injected fluids by injecting water and gas ... -
Investigation of Water Injection Performance and Potential on Eldfisk - A Simulation Study
(Master thesis, 2014)Investigation of water injection performance and potential on Eldfisk, with the use of reservoir simulation. -
An Investigation on Reduction of Calcium Added Bauxite Residue Pellets by Hydrogen and Iron Recovery through Physical Separation Methods
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)This study investigates the properties of H2-reduced calcium-added bauxite residue, self-hardened pellets, and the feasibility of iron recovery through electrostatic and magnetic separation methods. The oxide pellets are ... -
Investigation on the Effect of Cyclic Moisture Change on Rock Swelling in Hydropower Water Tunnels
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)This manuscript investigates the interaction between cyclic wetting and drying, material composition/structure and swelling potential of weathered rocks. Laboratory tests were performed at the Norwegian University of ... -
Investigations of Non-Ideal Hook Load Behavior during Tripping Operations for Well G-45
(Master thesis, 2011)This thesis has analyzed hook load data from well G-45 in Calispera C describing a tripping operation. The purpose of the analysis has been to identify and analyze non-ideal hook load behavior representing non-ideal borehole ... -
An Invitation on Characterization of H<inf>2</inf>-Reduced Bauxite Residue and Recovering Iron through Wet Magnetic Separation Processes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Recovering iron from the bauxite residue (BR) is one of the long-standing challenges in the mining industry. However, there is a substantial lack of information in the literature regarding sample properties and iron ... -
Ion-mediated desorption of asphaltene molecules from carbonate and sandstone structures
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022) -
IPR Modeling for Coning Wells
(Master thesis, 2012)In this study, based on the work of Vogel, we generated the Inflow Performance Relationship (IPR) curves and its dimensionless form at any stage of depletion using black-oil simulator results. The IPR was generated for ... -
Is it possible to estimate the magnitude of uplift and erosion by the use of check-shot data and average velocity?
(Master thesis, 2017)This work investigates a new method in quantifying the magnitude of net erosion or net exhumation by using average velocity profiles derived from check-shot data. The fundamental principle is based on finding the same ... -
ISRM Suggested Method for Determining the Basic Friction Angle of Planar Rock Surfaces by Means of Tilt Tests
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)The basic friction angle plays a key role when estimating the shear strength of discontinuities for rock engineering projects, since a large body of research has shown that rock joint shear strength models that consider ... -
