Diffusion as an Oil Recovery Mechanism During CO2 Injection in Fractured Reservoirs
(Master thesis, 2013-11-19)This thesis is part of an ongoing study of enhanced oil recovery by CO2 injection in the Reservoir Physics research group at the Department of Physics and Technology (IFT) at the University of Bergen. This work investigates ... -
Field Pilot Injection Strategies for CO2 Foam EOR in a Layered Heterogeneous Carbonate Reservoir
(Master thesis, 2018-06-20)Injection of CO2 foam for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) may provide economic incentives for large-scale industrial CO2 storage. An international field pilot research program has been initiated to develop and test CO2 foam ... -
Foam Generation and Flow in Fractures with Different Aperture
(Master thesis, 2017-06-20)This experimental thesis investigate foam generation and flow properties in real, rough-walled fractures, through impermeable marble core plugs. A range of fracture apertures was investigated, denoted open, partially open ... -
Karakterisering av silika nanopartikler for økt oljeutvinning
(Master thesis, 2014-09-01)Anvendelsen av silika nanopartikler for EOR-formål krever stabile dispersjoner ved typiske reservoarforhold. Optimale silikadispersjoner vil være stabile over lengre tid ved nøytrale pH- verdier og høye elektrolyttkonsentrasjoner. ... -
Low Salinity Waterflooding in Combination with Surfactant/Polymer. A Field Scale Simulation Study of Hybrid EOR
(Master thesis, 2018-06-27)It is projected that 77% of energy consumption will originate from fossil fuels in 2040, indicating a continuous demand for crude oil [1]. Nevertheless, more than half of the hydrocarbons produced at present originate from ... -
Rheological properties of hydrophobically modified anionic polymers: The effect of varying salinity in polymer solution
(Master thesis, 2017-06-16)A new class of polymers, named ‘hydrophobically modified water-soluble polymers’, has been developed as an alternative to the more commonly used polyelectrolytes in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) applications. These polymers ... -
Simulation of Enhanced Heavy Oil Recovery: History Match of Waterflooding and Polymer injection at Adverse Mobility Ratio
(Master thesis, 2015-06-01)Waterflooding and polymer flooding total recovery in the unstable immiscible displacement is very attractive and its applications are interesting in recent years. However, the simulation models of unstable immiscible ... -
Simulation Study of In-Situ Polymer Rheology in a Radial Flow Experiment
(Master thesis, 2018-06-27)The global energy demand is continuously growing, and even though renewable energy sources are becoming increasingly important, oil remains the leading energy fuel to this date, accounting for one third of the consumption. ... -
Study of Gas Mobility Control during CO2 Injection for Enhanced Oil Recovery
(Master thesis, 2016-06-01)Carbon Dioxide (CO2) has been used as a commercial source for Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) for over 40 years. In recent years, the utilization of anthropogenic CO2 has become more attractive, because of its proven EOR and ... -
Synergy of Nanoparticles and Surfactants for CO2 Foam Enhanced Oil Recovery and CO2 Storage in Carbonates
(Master thesis, 2018-06-20)This experimental thesis is a part of an ongoing CO2-foam project lead by the Reservoir Physics group at the Department of Physics and Technology, University of Bergen. The main thesis objective was to investigate the ...
