Real-time Optimization and Control for Oil Production under Uncertainty
(Doctoral dissertations at the University of South-Eastern Norway;179, Doctoral thesis, 2024-02-02)The practical use of model-based optimization depends significantly on the accuracy of the model in use. This is because the presence of uncertainty can introduce a mismatch between the model and the real plant, which may ... -
Removal of CO2 from exhaust gas
(Doctoral dissertations at TUC;2012:2, Doctoral thesis; Peer reviewed, 2012-05-30)Removal of CO2 from exhaust gas (CO2 capture) has become a very important topic the last years. There is international agreement to limit the emissions of greenhouse gases to reduce the global warming problem, and CO2 is ... -
Roll-out of model based control with application to paper machines
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2003:31, Doctoral thesis; Peer reviewed, 2003)A mechanistic nonlinear model of the wet end of paper machine 6 (PM6) at Norske Skog Saugbrugs, Norway has been developed, and used in an MPC application. The MPC provides reduced variability in many key variables, and ... -
Sensor Data Fusion based Modelling of Drilling Fluid Return Flow through Open Channels
(Doctoral dissertations at the University of South-Eastern Norway;10, Doctoral thesis, 2018-09-20)In drilling oil & gas wells, pressure control is essential for several reasons, but pri-marily for safety. The wellbore pressure should be maintained within the pressure window to avoid the kick and fluid loss while drilling. ... -
