PETROMAKS-Maksimal utnyttelse av petroleumsreserver

The Neogene uplift of the Barents Sea

Hydrocarbon exploration in the Norwegian part of the Barents Sea has been rather unsuccessful so far, as the traps seem to have experienced partial or complete drainage of hydrocarbons. The problems of finding commercial hydrocarbon deposits in the Norw egian Barents Sea have been attributed to...

Integrated EOR in Fractured and Heterogeneous Reservoirs

Prosjektet har funnet nye og bedre metoder for økt oljeutvinning; laboratorieresultater viser spesielt gunstige resultater ved bruk av CO2 og CO2 skum; inntil 95% av oljen blir produsert under kontrollerte betingelser. Dette gir grunnlag for en mulig økt oljeutvinning etter vannflømming på feltsk...

Geoillustrator - Sketch-based illustrative earth models visualization

I tidlige faser av utforskning av olje og gassfelt er det vanlig at ekspertene lager flere alternative tolkninger av hvordan geologien kan se ut i og rundt reservoaret. Et problem da er at disse tolkningene i stor grad befinner seg som mentale modeller i hodene til ekspertene. Kommunikasjon og f...

Optimizing Water Chemistry for Enhanced Oil Recovery

We propose to quantify the impact of injected water chemistry on the recovery of oil on the field scale. This will be done by building a streamline model for the chemical changes that occur as the injected fluid moves from injection to a production well. The main focus will be on fractured chalk...

Barents Sea Rock Properties

Geologisk informasjonen fra sedimentære bassenger kommer i hovedsak fra seismiske data. Disse dataene viser fordelingen av hastighet og tetthet i bassenget. Forståelsen av hvordan bergartsegenskapene forandres som funksjon av begravning og sammensetning er til dels svært mangelfull. Disse prosess...

A novel approach to surfactant flooding under mixed-wet conditions

Traditionally, surfactant flooding has been a method for reducing residual oil after water flooding (Sorw), i.e. the target is oil trapped by capillary forces at pore scale. Field remaining oil saturation after water flooding (ROS) may be substantially hi gher than Sorw. The focus will be on ROS ...
