• Significant surge and swab offshore Brazil induced by rig heave during drillpipe connections 

      Godhavn, John-Morten; Olorunju, B; Gorski, Dmitri; Kvernland, Martin Krister; Sant'Ana, Mateus; Aamo, Ole Morten; Sangesland, Sigbjørn (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      In this paper, we describe measured and simulated downhole pressure variations (“surge and swab”) during drillpipe connections when drilling an ultradeepwater well offshore Brazil on Bacalhau (former Carcará) Field. Floating ...
    • Subsea Wellhead Life-Cycle-Fatigue Analysis and the Role of Well Temperature 

      Cantinelli Sevillano, Lucas; De Andrade, Jesus; Sangesland, Sigbjørn (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Pushing the frontier of oil exploration and production into more-challenging environments and more-frequent interventions and workover operations in subsea wells has led to an increased focus on the structural integrity ...
    • Verification of downhole choke technology in a simulator using data from a North Sea well 

      Kvernland, Martin Krister; Gorski, Dmitri; Sant'Ana, Mateus; Godhavn, John-Morten; Aamo, Ole Morten; Sangesland, Sigbjørn (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      The most important contributer to Improved Oil Recovery (IOR) on mature fields is drilling of infill wells. Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD) and Continuous Circulation System (CCS) techniques can be used for improved control ...
