PETROMAKS-Maksimal utnyttelse av petroleumsreserver

Oil spill containment by use of air bubbles

The proposed project will evaluate the use of air bubbles to improve oil spill recovery operations. When a large number of bubbles is released in water, the rising bubble plume induces an upward transport of water (upwelling), which consequently spreads o ut at the surface (outwelling). The outwe...

Water Weakening of Chalk - Physical and Chemical Processes

Chalk is an important reservoir rock, e.g., Ekofisk and Valhall fields. In the 90s, a dramatic increase in subsidence rate at Ekofisk was experienced after seawater injection. A similar effect is also observed in the laboratory. When chalk cores experienc e stress higher than yield, they tend to ...
