A Numerical and Analytical Investigation of the Relation Between Transport Properties and Grain Size Distribution
(Master thesis, 2018)There have been many and varied attempts describing the relation between transport and rock properties for porous materials, including the work of Kozeny (1927), Carman (1938), and Berg (1970). Common features of these ... -
A Pore Network Investigation of Factors Influencing the Residual Oil Saturation
(Master thesis, 2018)In this thesis a pore network modelling approach is used to investigate the correlation between different pore structure descriptors and the residual oil saturation at the capillary limit. For this study, a range of ... -
An Experimental and Numerical Study of Diffusion and Electrical Conductivity in Porous Media
(Master thesis, 2017)In this Thesis the effective diffusion coefficient, the diffusibility and the formation factor in a porous medium are studied by preforming a diffusion experiment and electrical conductivity measurements. The main purpose ... -
An Experimental and Numerical Study of Polymer Injection in Layered Synthetic Porous Media
(Master thesis, 2015)In this Master thesis there was conducted polymer flooding of two-layered synthetic cores, where the two layers had different permeabilities, representing a stratified reservoir. The main purpose of this thesis was to ... -
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. ... -
An open-source approach to Integrated Operations
(Master thesis, 2017)This thesis is based on exploring the topic of Integrated Operations (IO) and software development in the oil and gas industry. The philosophy of IO and how it impacted the oil and gas industry in the last decade is ... -
Analytical Solution To Transient Flow in Stress-Sensitive Reservoirs with Pressure Dependent Variables
(Master thesis, 2015)New technology and knowledge gives increasing confidence in investments of unconventional reservoirs. In these types of reservoirs the rock and fluid parameters are often seen to depend strongly on pressure. Conventional ... -
Bakken Basin-Wide EOS Model
(Master thesis, 2018)This paper presents a detailed fluid characterization study of the Bakken basin in North Dakota. Fluid solution gas oil ratios (GORs) range from ~500 4500 scf/STB, covering black oils, volatile oils and near critical gas ... -
Black Oil to Compositional Conversion for the Ivar Aasen Field
(Master thesis, 2016)Petroleum fluids are characterized by a black oil or an equation of state (EOS) characterization. Both of these approaches are thoroughly explained in the theoretical chapter. A black oil to compositional (BOz) conversion ... -
CO2 EOR Potential in the Brent Group at the Statfjord Field
(Master thesis, 2017)CO2 flooding is an enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technique that can be used to improve displace- ment efficiency and volumetric sweep efficiency. This is due to its favorable interactions with oil, which can be beneficial ... -
Compositional Simulation of Tertiary Gas Injection Experiments - Investigating the Effects of Capillary Pressure
(Master thesis, 2018)Tertiary gas injection is an enhanced oil recovery method, which aims for reducing residual oil in a reservoir by gas injection. Tertiary gas injection induces a system of three-phase where water, oil and gas flow ... -
Correlating Recovery Factors with Measures of Reservoir Heterogeneity
(Master thesis, 2018)Field scale reservoir simulations are computationally intensive, and therefore also time consuming. This thesis focuses on the development and evaluation of computationally easy measures of reservoir heterogeneity, by ... -
Early History Matching of the Ivar Aasen Field
(Master thesis, 2017)Dynamic reservoir simulation models are used to better understand the reservoir and predict future reservoir performance. Once a field starts to produce, a continuous flow of dynamic data becomes available in terms of ... -
Effect of Geometry on Pore-Scale Simulation of Single-Phase Fluid Flow
(Master thesis, 2018)Accurate estimation of physical rock properties is a crucial step in the process of designing a reservoir model for development reasons and to optimize hydrocarbon production. Absolute permeability is one of those properties. ... -
Effect of Relative Permeability on History Matching a Permian Basin Oil Well
(Master thesis, 2015)Production from shale oil and gas has increased significantly the last couple of decades. The industry is constantly developing horizontal well and stimulation technology to increase production from these wells. Data ... -
Enhanced Oil Recovery - Wisting Development
(Master thesis, 2018)The average oil recovery on the Norwegian Continental Shelf is 47% (NPD 2017b). Until today, most of the oil and gas fields at the Norwegian Continental Shelf have been produced with pressure depletion or gas/water injection. ... -
Ensemble based History Matching of Reservoir Flow Models using 4D seismic, Production Data and LWD - A Feasibility Study
