NY LENSE 2008

Dagens oljevernutstyr har begrensninger tilknyttet bølgehøyde, strøm og det å operere i mørke. Dette kan føre til at en i praksis bare kan kontrollere oljesøl i 60-70 % av tiden. Oljevernet vi har i dag kan således sies å ha begrenset totaleffektivitet. NorLense har lagt i front internasjonalt ...

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 ...

Distribution of oil and bioavailability

When oil is released in an area with ice we will face a complex interaction between oil, water and ice. The oil will be absorbed by snow on the ice edges, it may be trapped in the ice in brine channels and it may be moved underneath the ice. The ice field as such will also be under constant tran...
