2D Vertical Effective Stress Modeling of the Tor Area
(Master thesis, 2012)The oil industry has been exploring and drilling for hydrocarbons for decades, and on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS), most of the previously discovered big fields are in their ending phase. The remaining reserves ... -
A Study in Limiting Factors for Extended Reach Drilling of Highly Deviated Wells in Deep Waters
(Master thesis, 2012)Drilling in deep water is requiring more advanced technology as fields at greater depths are being discovered. Managed Pressure Drilling and Dual Gradient Drilling are both offering different techniques for navigating ... -
A Study of How to Implement Alternative Well Plugging Materials in Governing Regulations
(Master thesis, 2012)The governing requirements and regulations for petroleum activities on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS) refers to the industry standard NORSOK D-010 for technical and functional requirements for Plug & Abandonment ... -
A Study of the Information Potential in Electrical Image Logs: Analysis and Calculations performed on FMI Curves
(Master thesis, 2012)This project focuses on measurements from the electrical image tool Fullbore Formation MicroImager (FMI). High resolution electrical image logs can determine individual layers in thinly bedded sand and clay sections that ... -
An Evaluation of Open Hole Zonal Isolation Solutions on Valhall
(Master thesis, 2012)The Valhall field, operated by BP Norge, is a mature field in the North Sea requiring more attention than before to be able to maintain a viable production rate. Keeping the rate sufficient is ultimately done, in simple ... -
Analyse av skråningsstabilitet i dagbrudd i Sydvaranger Gruve AS
(Master thesis, 2012)I Sydvaranger Gruve AS er det planer om å utvide Bjørnevatnbruddet mot dypet. I den forbindelse ble behovet for en stabilitetsvurdering av dagbruddsveggene vurdert. Ved en utvidelse i Bjørnevatn må økonomiske hensyn ... -
Analysis of Hook load Signal to reveal the Causes of Restrictions
(Master thesis, 2012)Wells that are drilled today are becoming deeper and more complex, and actions to make these wells economically justifiable are desired by oil companies. One method is to reduce the non-productive time during drilling by ... -
Analysis of Well Design for Effective P&A of Production Wells
(Master thesis, 2012)Plugging and Abandonment (P&A) has long been given little im- portance in the oil industry as the activity does not generate values, and preparing for it to be efficiently carried out was overshadowed by the interest of ... -
Automatic Well Control Simulations
(Master thesis, 2012)Every year kick incidents occur, maybe best remembered by the Macondo blowout in April 2010 resulting in devastating oil spills throughout the Gulf of Mexico. Well control is one of the most important factors in any drilling ... -
AVO Analysis of Turbidite Reservoir Rocks in the Alvheim Field
(Master thesis, 2012)The Alvheim reservoir is a turbidite reservoir, which means that the complex deposition makes it a difficult reservoir to perform predictions regarding reservoir content on. In the preceding project work (Eggen 2012) AVO ... -
Back-analysis of the 1756 Tjellefonna rockslide, Langfjorden
(Master thesis, 2012)The 22nd of February 1756 the largest historically recorded rockslide in Norway took place at Tjelle in Langfjorden, Møre & Romsdal County. Three displacement waves of up to 50 meters were created in Langfjorden by the ... -
Byåsentunnelen: Setningsproblematikk, tids- og kostnadsberegninger
(Master thesis, 2012)Bygging av tunnel fra Sluppen til Byåsen har igjen blitt aktuelt under utbedring av den siste delen av Stamvegringen rundt Trondheim. Tunnelen er planlagt med stigning opp til 7 % og rundkjøring i fjell. I tillegg vil ... -
Circulating out minor influxes through open riser during dual gradient drilling with a partly evacuated riser
(Master thesis, 2012)Today, with conventional drilling technology, the cost of drilling deep and ultra-deepwater wells is very high, thus many reservoirs are classified as non-economical. Some reservoirs may also be impossible to reach with ... -
CO2 Enhanced Oil Recovery in Strong Water-Drive Reservoirs
(Master thesis, 2012)The growing demand for energy has prompted oil companies to increase the production while paying more and more attention to the CO_2 footprint of their activities. To fulfill these requirements CO_2 storage and enhanced ... -
CO2 Sequestration: The effect of carbonate dissolution on reservoir rock integrity.
(Master thesis, 2012)Since the environmental focus only becomes stronger and stronger in today’s society, industries like the oil and gas sector face some difficult challenges. Being the primary industry for CO2 production in the world requires ... -
Completion Design Review with Focus on Well Integrity and Productivity
(Master thesis, 2012)In this thesis a full well design and detailed tubing design has been developed for the HPHT well K-14. Wellcat casing design software has been used for tubing string analysis. K-14 has been designed using the same ... -
Developing a procedure to sort and extract useful information from a mass production data
(Master thesis, 2012)Abstract The Rubiales field is a multi-well cluster field which creates severe amounts of production data. Rapid expansion has lead to massive increase in oil production. A consequence is missed opportunities of optimization ... -
Drillpipe Rotation Effects on Pressure Losses
(Master thesis, 2012)Keeping control of the downhole pressure is important in any drilling situation, and especially when a narrow pressure window is experienced. The equivalent circulation density is influenced by rotation of the drillpipe, ... -
Engineering Geological Assessments of a Tunnel for the Proposed High Speed Railway Link Between Oslo and Bergen
(Master thesis, 2012)Today, the larger cities in Norway are linked with railways, but the rail transport system is in need of an upgrade in order to compete with other means of transport. Long journey times associated with the Norwegian railway ... -
