Two-phase flow, foams and emulsion in porous media

Study dynamics of interfaces in porous media using the numerical model developed by Aker, Knudsen, Måløy and Hansen in close collaboration with Professor Måløy's experimental activity. The model is at this point not capable of handling foams (i.e. multipl e interfaces in a single pore). The focal...

Integrated hydrocarbon system analysis and hydrocarbon quality assessment, South Viking Graben Area, North Sea

The project will integrate geo- and yield-history work with oil and gas quality alterations. This involves work into the areas of source rock variability, yield compositions through the oil maturation window, and in-reservoir alterations such as biodegrad ation and segregation. Once integrated, s...

Risikostyring for planlegging av brønnoperasjoner - utvikling av modeller og beslutningskriterier

En hovedutfordring i prosjektet er videre- og nyutvikling av årsaks- og konsekvensmodeller for uønskede hendelser i konstrukjson samt drift og vedlikehold av brønner. Årsaksmodellene beskriver betingelsene for at hendelser inntreffer basert på fysikk og o perasjonslogikk. Sannsynligheten for hend...
