Automated decision support methodology for early planning phase of a multi-reservoir field
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The field planning process is a crucial phase in the life of a hydrocarbon field when many design features must be decided upon. The field development team has the task of finding a configuration of these field design ... -
The effect of temperature on the sealability of bismuth–tin alloy plugs
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Innovative solutions for plugging oil and gas wells are becoming increasingly important to ensure safe operations, save costs, and guarantee that the wells are sealed with a long-term perspective. Among these innovations, ... -
The effect of wettability and flow rate on oil displacement using polymer-coated silica nanoparticles: A microfluidic study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Polymer-coated silica nanoparticles (PSiNPs) have been experimentally investigated in core- and micro-scale studies for enhanced oil recovery (EOR). Wettability and flow rate have a considerable effect on oil displacement ... -
Experimental investigation of the effect of adding nanoparticles to polymer flooding in water-wet micromodels
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Recently, the combination of conventional chemical methods for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and nanotechnology has received lots of attention. This experimental study explores the dynamic changes in the oil configuration ... -
Pipe flow experiments of unstable oil-water dispersions with three different oil viscosities: Flow pattern, pressure drop and droplet size measurements
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The transport of oil-water dispersions in petroleum production pipelines is difficult to predict and requires special attention since it affects the performance of the entire system. For future field developments it is ... -
Rheological characterization of Polyanionic Cellulose solutions with application to drilling fluids and cuttings transport modeling
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)In petroleum drilling, aqueous Polyanionic Cellulose solutions (PAC) are often used as a drilling fluid model system in experimental laboratory studies to investigate cuttings transport. Cuttings transport refers to the ...
