Experimental Investigation of Osmosis as a Mechanism for Low-Salinity EOR
(Master thesis, 2017)The topic of this thesis is an experimental investigation of osmosis as a mechanism for low-salinity enhanced oil recovery by evaluation of the effect of surface-to-volume ratio on oil recovery. Increased oil recovery due ... -
Experimental Study of Nanoparticle Injection for Enhanced Oil Recovery
(Master thesis, 2018)The potential of a total of 13 nanofluids with 0.1% by weight nanoparticles in them are tested for EOR capabilities in this work. The nanoparticles used in the nanofluids are mostly silica based particles with different ... -
An Experimental Study of the Use of Silica and CNC Nanofluids for EOR by Spontaneous Imbibition
(Master thesis, 2017)Approximately half of the oil is still left in the reservoirs after primary and secondary oil recovery today. To increase the oil recovery from the reservoirs it is necessary to apply Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) Methods. ... -
Further development of a Network Solver with gas lift optimization
(Master thesis, 2017)The present Master's Thesis describes a further development of a Network Solver that checks if a certain oil rate is feasible for a given reservoir pressure. Reservoir pressure and surface formation rates are the inputs ... -
History Matching a Full Field Reservoir Simulation Model - The Jette Field
(Master thesis, 2014)Reservoir models are used for understanding and prediction of reservoir performance. The Jette dynamic reservoir model were not capable of representing reservoir performance at Jette and experienced problems with prediction ... -
History Matching of Vertical Gas Injection Displacement Experiments
(Master thesis, 2018)This master thesis presents simulations of two core flooding experiments. The two experiments consisted of injecting gas in a gravity stablemanner into a vertical core, after the core had beenwaterflooded. The main difference ... -
Identification of the Transition Between Two Phase Flow Regimes in Sphere Packs
