Atmospheric chemistry and transport from isotopic analysis

Global change depends critically on the concentrations of gases present in the atmosphere at trace levels. The balance between the production and the loss terms governs the concentration of these gases. The stable isotope abundance can be used to provide insight as to the sources and regional and...

PETROMAKS-Maksimal utnyttelse av petroleumsreserver

Formation of piercement structures in sedimentary basins

Piercement structures such as mud volcanoes, hydrothermal vent complexes, and breccia pipes are common in many sedimentary basins. The structures are commonly formed by vigorous eruptions transporting fluids and material from a deep source area to a vent at the surface. The high-permeability cyli...

PETROMAKS-Maksimal utnyttelse av petroleumsreserver

Improved Oil Recovery in Heterogeneous Reservoirs

More than 50% of the oil is left behind after oil production is completed in most of the oil reservoirs on the Norwegian continental shelf. This is not acceptable in a global energy perspective. The single most important reason for such a low oil recovery is reservoir heterogeneities, i.e. varia...

Mineral phase transitions control on basin subsidence: The role of temperature, pressure, fluids and melting

The project focuses on studying and modeling the impact of metamorphic reactions within the crust and lithospheric mantle on the formation of extensional sedimentary basins. The volume changes of metamorphic reactions invariably cause changes in the bulk densities of lithospheric units. Numerical...
