Improved oil recovery and the study of CO₂ storage in oil/gas reservoirs and aquifers
(Master thesis, 2016)As the world’s energy needs grow, several techniques have been introduced for an improved oil recovery (IOR) and secured storage of CO₂. Such techniques include the use of water injection, CO₂ for Enhanced Oil Recovery ... -
Hydrogenolysis of methyl formate over copper nano particles
(Master thesis, 2016)Hydrogenolysis of methyl formate has been proposed as a part of an alternative route for methanol production. Copper catalyst for the hydrogenation of ester to alcohol is a catalyst commonly used due to its high selectivity ... -
Process Tomometric Data Fusion with Multimodal Sensor Suite in Multiphase flow studies
(Master thesis, 2016)The objective of the thesis is to propose simple tests on raw electrical measurements, using electrical capacitance tomography in order to assess the prevailing flow regime in the test section. This information regarding ... -
Simulation of oil production and CO₂
(Master thesis, 2016)Deep geologic injection of supercritical carbon dioxide (CO₂) for enhanced oil recovery (EOR), plays an important role in the sequestration of CO₂ to minimize the impact of CO₂-emissions due to global warming. CO₂-EOR ... -
Evaluation and comparison of MPC algorithms applied to simulated processes
(Master thesis, 2015-11-13)Model predictive controller is one of the most advanced control approaches which because of its good features like: ability to explicitly include constraints in its formulation, multivariable control, ability to look in ... -
Evaluation and comparison of Kalman filter algorithms
(Master thesis, 2015-11-13)In practical applications, biogas flow sensors are used to measure the output methane gas from the reactor. But none of the states are measured. State estimation methods can be used to solve this problem. In this thesis ... -
Evaluation and comparison of MPC algorithms applied to a real air heater
(Master thesis, 2015-11-12)With a remarkable increase in demand for safe, efficient and stable control operation, process control for process plants has become more important. Although Conventional PID controllers have been used in the process ... -
Viscoelastic entrance flow of Hydrolized Polyacrylamide (HPAAM)
(Master thesis, 2015-11-12)The use of polymers in polymer/water flooding enhanced oil recovery (EOR) is a technique used since just after World War 2, and with several full scale fields in operation. Increasing oil prices and more challenging ... -
Stochastic flood control using MPC of Kragerø waterways

Deterministic flood control using MPC on the Kragerø waterways
(Master thesis, 2015-11-06)The Kragerø Waterways consist of 5 power plants downstream after Lake Toke, Dalsfos is the first of these power plants. As a deterministic flood control of Lake Toke and Dalsfos there has been designed a MPC. The MPC uses ... -
Simulating open channel flow for drill mud mass flow measurement, part II
(Master thesis, 2015-11-06)Advancement in oil drilling technology, particularly managed pressure drilling requires better knowledge of return drill mud flow. Since the mud outflow is in an open channel, it is proposed to use flume with constriction ... -
Full-scale NOx reduction experiments at Norcem Brevik
(Master thesis, 2015-11-06)The NOx reduction system installed at Norcem Brevik is based on the SNCR technology. It was installed in 2012 and substantial reduction of NOx has been achieved. However, it has never been performed experiments or optimizations ... -
Comparing methods for system identification on the quadruple tank
(Master thesis, 2015-10-30)System Identification in control engineering has been the field of interest for the research and development to find the optimal model of dynamic system. Both MIMO and SISO systems can be modeled using different system ... -
Near well simulation of oil production from conventional heterogeneous oil
(Master thesis, 2015-10-30)Drilling horizontal wells has been provided to be useful for producing oil and gas. This meant increased production by maximizing the reservoir contact. However, due to heel-toe effect an uneven influx of reservoir fluid ... -
CO2 for enhanced oil recovery and secure storage of CO2 in reservoirs
(Master thesis, 2015-10-30)CO2-EOR(Enhanced Oil Recovery) is an effective and useful technology that can not only increase the oil production to meet the increasing need for energy around the world, but also mitigate the negtive influence of global ... -
Near well simulation and modelling of oil production from heavy oil reservoirs
(Master thesis, 2015-10-30)Heavy oil reservoirs cover up two third of the world's hydrocarbon reservoirs. Even though they are a vast energy reserve, heavy oil recovery is not considered economical due to its high viscous property. Generally horizontal ... -
