Parameterisation of the Environmental Impacts on Bottom Fauna of Water-based Drilling Fluids and Cuttings

Discharges of contaminated drill-cuttings have caused appreciable ecological changes in the bottom fauna around many Norwegian oil and gas platforms. Drilling-induced disturbances reduce the diversity and complexity of pristine bottom fauna and restricts their functions. The effects may be due to...

Ice ages: subsidence, uplift and tilting of traps - the influence on petroleum systems

The proposed project will model the isostatic response of Cenozoic glaciations in the Barents Sea region and northern North Sea to constrain its potential impact on existing petroleum systems. With greatly improved geological boundary conditions, that is (1) more complete knowledge on timing and ...

Hydrates in petroleum production - Assessment of Plug Risk

During transport of oil, gas and water in pipelines, solid gas hydrate plugs may form when the conditions are within the thermodynamic range of stability of natural gas hydrates. The cost of hydrate prevention is often a project stopper for small field de velopments. However, the presence of oil ...
