THE DEPARTMENT ANNUAL REPORT 2014
GREETINGS FROM
THE DEPARTMENT HEAD
2014 has been a dynamic year for our
department. We have seen a dramatic
fall in the Brent oil price from $110 per
barrel at the beginning of the year to $48 per barrel at the end of
the year. The student intake to the petroleum studies was record
high with a minimum admission grade of 58.8, placing us as the
second most popular technical study in Norway.
We have seen 5 outstanding colleagues retiring this year. They
have all made great contributions in developing the department to
the international standard we have today.
Michael Golan changed his position to Professor Emeritus after
working for 34 years at the department. Professor Golan is a lead
expert in production engineering, and his text book “Well Performance” which he wrote together with Professor Curtis Whitson,
is well known for most petroleum engineers. Professor Golan is
also a popular lecturer and a good advisor for PhD candidates. We
welcome you in your new position.
Professor Arild Rødland retired after 34 years at the department.
His expertise, drilling technology, has been heavily influenced by
his pioneering work in horizontal drilling and new drilling techniques for geothermal energy. Professor Rødland served as State
Secretary for the Minister of Oil and Energy in 1983-86. His international course program in Arkhangelsk has been a role model
for other international activities by our department.
Professor Jon Steinar Gudmundsson retired after 25 years at our
department. Working with production engineering he has made
great contribution to research and innovation in gas hydrates.
Professor Gudmundsson has been a very popular teacher with
many students coming from other parts of NTNU to follow his
“Natural Gas” lectures.
Assistant Professor Helge Langeland entered into an emeritus
position this year after close to 40 years of work at our department. Petrophysics and wireline logging courses have been a
pride of the department since its beginning in the early seventies.
Helge Langeland has much of the honour for providing more than
2000 students with this knowledge, surely knowledge that has
been vital for Norway and abroad. We wish Helge Langeland good
luck in his new position.
a few weeks before he defended his PhD thesis in chemical
­engineering. We welcome Dr. Voss to our department.
PhD candidates are important for the research we do at the
­department. This year 9 PhD candidates successfully defended
their theses. Congratulations to them and to their advisors!
Research demands financial support, and our department have
seen a record high success rate for research applications from
the Norwegian Research Council and from EU.
In addition to half a dozen successful Petromax applications we
became partner in a new Center for Research based Innovation
(CRI), called SUBPRO.
A total number of more than a hundred EU-applications were sent
from NTNU, out of which just five were granted in the first nomination. One of these successful applications, “Waves”, came from
our department, provided by Martin Landrø and Børge Arntsen.
Congratulations!
Also this year we ran successful field courses; SVALEX at ­Svalbard
for 90 students, PYREX in Spain for 20 students, and PETROX in
England for 25 students.
The Rock Seismic (ROSE) seminar also this year attended a large
group of participants. Close to 25 companies support this consortium which is getting ever more popular.
The eighth IO-conference was arranged in September with an
­attendance of 240 people. Both the Norwegian Minister of Oil
and Gas, Tord Lien, and the CEO of Statoil, Helge Lund, gave
­presentations.
This year many of our colleagues have received prestigious prizes:
Jon Kleppe became “Oilman Of The Year - 2014” from Society of
Petroleum Engineers, Norway.
Martin Landrø received the “IOR-Prize – 2014” from the ­Norwegian
Petroleum Directorate.
Ole Torsæter received the “Darcy Award and Technical achievement Award 2014” from the Society of Core Analysts.
Senior Engineer Gunnar Bjerkan retired after a career of
close to 50 years at NTNU, of which 41 years were spent at our
­department. Actually we know that Gunnar Bjerkan and Ole
Bernt Lile were the ones who coined the name of our department back in 1973! The planning, design and building of PTS 1,
where the ­department now stays, was coordinated mainly by
Gunnar ­Bjerkan.
Wiktor Waldemar Weibull and Børge Arntsen received “Best
Poster Award – 2014” at the Annual Meeting at the Society of
­Exploration Geophysicists in Denver.
This year we have got a new colleague, Senior Engineer Georg
Voss. Georg Voss started at our department in September, just
Egil Tjåland
Head of Department
Finally I would like to thank all at our department for their
­contribution to this successful year.

RESEARCH ANNUAL REPORT 2014
EXPERIMENTAL
RESERVOIR ENGINEERING
The activity on experimental reservoir engineering at the ­Department in 2014 has mainly been concentrated on enhanced oil ­recovery
(EOR) and CO2 storage. The following projects are o
­ ngoing:
• A combined surface-colloid chemical and rock-fluid ­interaction approach towards more efficient enhanced oil recovery ­strategies. See
paper summary 1 on micro-CT. PhD-scholar is Hamid Hosseinzade Khanamiri.
• Nanofluid for enhanced oil recovery. PhD-scholars are Luky ­Hendraningrat, Shidong Li and Katherine Rose Aurand. See ­paper summary
2 on wettability alteration due to nanofluid ­injection.
• Hybrid nanogels – a new class of “green” gel systems for water diversion by in-depth reservoir placement. This project started late 2014
and PhD-scholar is Bahador Najafiazar.
• CO2 storage. See summary 3 on dissolution trapping. PhD-scholars are Amir Taheri and Szczepan Polak (graduated September 2014).
SUMMARY 1: OIL RESERVOIR ROCK ­CHARACTERIZATION AND FLUIDS SEGMENTATION USING
HIGH RESOLUTION MICRO-CT SCANS
In this paper we presented our work on pore scale character­
ization of oil reservoir rock. We scanned the rock material by
micro-­CT Skyscan 1172 at high resolution of 1 micro-meter/pixel.
Then we developed an algorithm in image processing with which
it is possible to isolate the pores in the pore network and then to
obtain the size of individual pores. The algorithm enables us to obtain also the size of channels which connect the pores. Size of the
channels is calculated independent from size of the pores. This is
more precise than the method of «structure thickness sep­aration»
where the structure can be either pore or channel and there is no
criterion to distinguish between these two. Figure illustrates how
pores A and B are separated from each other. ‘Open’ which is a
morphological function is used successively. Figure shows ‘Open’
by radius of 20 micro-meter (left) and 22 micro-meter (right); the
last ‘Open’ eliminates the connecting channel of pores A and B.
Thus the diameter of the channel is greater than 20 micro-meter
and equal to or less than 22 micro-meter.

SUMMARY 2: THE IMPACT OF NANOPARTICLES ADSORPTION ON WETTABILITY ALTERATION
OF INTERMEDIATE WET SANDSTONE
Nanoparticles have huge specific surface area, for example 7 nm
diameter nanoparticles have 300 m2/g surface area. Injection of
nanoparticles suspension into the core will result in adsorption
of nano­particles on pore walls. If hydrophilic nanoparticles are
in­jected, the wettability of rock can be changed to be more water
wet.

data for the cores treated by different concentrations of nano­fluid.
As shown, the higher concentration of nanoparticles the more
water wet cores will be.

SUMMARY 3: DISSOLUTION TRAPPING OF CO2 IN BRINE DURING CO2 STORAGE
The dissolution of supercritical CO2 in formation water is one of
the main long term trapping mechanisms of CO2 into brine aquifers. Density-driven natural convection mechanism is predicted to
occur, which accelerates the dissolution of CO2 in the brine. This
phenomenon arises from the increase in the density of brine when
saturated with CO2. The main objective of this study is increa­sing
scientific knowledge mainly about the density-driven natural convection mechanism in dissolution of CO2 in underground brine
aquifers using experimental tools and explaining this ­mechanism
and its likely impacts to the general public. For this purpose a
­series of experiments were performed in different Hele-Shaw cell
geometries like homogeneous models, heterogeneous ­models
with barriers and layered permeability models using CO2 and brine.
Onset time for convection, critical wavelength of convection fingers
and CO2 dissolution rate into brine are objective parameters here for
study.
The figure below compares the behaviour of convection fingers
in homogeneous, heterogeneous (barrier type) and layered perm­
e­ab
­ ility Hele-Shaw cell models at a same time. If we compare
the homogenous model with the other ones we can see that the
­existence of barriers causes less penetration of convection fingers into the model and consequently the dissolution rate of CO2
into brine is decreased. Also in layered permeability model, the
convection fingers have not enough ability to enter the bottom
layer with higher permeability and pore volume. Furthermore the
prepared continuous movies from these experiments can help us
in improving the public knowledge about CO2 storage. The created
movies have been uploaded in the following URL address:

DRILLING ENGINEERING
DRILLWELL
Pressurized cell
The Drilling and Well Centre for Improved Recovery (DrillWell)
is an industry-driven collaboration and innovation environment
with the industrial partners funding, prioritizing and directing
R&D efforts towards their requirements and challenges. The
centre headed by IRIS, is funded by six industry partners and the
­Research Council of Norway as a Centre for Research-based
­Innovation (SFI). Reference is made to the annual report:
http://drillwell.no/DrillWell/files/DrillWell%20Annual%20Report%202014.pdf
One of the main activities in the DrillWell program is Life-Cycle
Well Integrity. During well production operations, failure of well
barriers may lead to leakages from the well, with costly environ­
mental and production problems. Maintaining well inte­grity
throughout the well life cycle is important to ensure safe and
cost-effective operations.
CEMENT SHEATH INTEGRITY
DURING THERMAL CYCLING
Jesus De Andrade
Well cement is one of the most important barrier elements from
the well construction phase to permanent plug and abandonment.
It is placed into the annulus between casing and formation to provide structural support and zonal isolation through the ­entire well
service lifetime. The success of the primary cement jobs starts
with the proper placement of the cement sheath. However, even if
a good primary cement job is achieved, normal variations in temperature and pressure over the well lifecycle are likely to ­induce
failure mechanisms and threaten the cement-sheath sealing
integrity. This old and known problem has recently raised the
­concern of many operators in the North Sea.

downscaled wellbore cased section (pipe-cement-rock). The temperature variations up and down can lead to cement sheath failures
such as de-bonding at the inner and outer interface, and cracking
The studies performed with this laboratory set-up present the
first use of computed tomography (CT) scanning to monitor the
development of cement sheath failures upon cyclic loads. Ctscans are performed before and along the cyclic thermal loads
throughout an experiment. This reveals how and when cement
integrity fails during thermal cycling as a function of the temp­
erature profile and repetitions – and how sensitive the process is
to variables such as casing surface finish and stand-off.
Major findings so far have been that the cement sheath integrity
degradation during thermal cycling is dependent upon initial well
conditions, such as cement sheath defects, casing centralization,
type of casing surface, presence of mud, and type of rock.
In the field, sonic and ultrasonic tools are typically used to verify the status of the cement sheath barrier. Nevertheless, there
are challenges related to the reliability of these technologies. In
ad­dition, there are difficulties associated with reliably predicting
failure of the annular cement sheath through computer model­
ling. This underlines the importance of gathering more infor­
mation on this topic from experimental work.
A Novel Laboratory Set-up
We have developed a unique experimental methodology to invest­
igate in detail how thermal varying loads affect the integrity of the
annular cement-sheath. The testing protocol consists in using a
confined and pressurized cell where thermal cycles are applied to a
Process for visualization of 3D debonded/void volumes in the cement-sheath by
analyses of X-ray CT-images.

APPLIED GEOPHYSICS
CREEPING WAVE IN A SHADOW ZONE
The modeling of the creeping wave in a shadow zone is ­developed
(Ayzenberg and Stovas, 2014; Ayzenberg et al., 2014), The ­example
of the V-shape model and modeled seismogram are shown in
­Figure 1, left and right, respectively.
Figure 2. Reflection response with porosity of 0.3 (top) and 0.4 (bottom).
Figure 1. The V-shape model (top) and seismogram (bottom).
The influence of frequency and saturation on AVO response for
patchy saturated rocks is analyzed in Dupuy and Stovas (2014a).
The method of computation of reflection/transmission responces
from a layered shale-sand sequence is developed in Dupuy and
Stovas (2014b). Examples of reflection response with ­different
­porosity are shown in Figure 2. The downscaling procedure for
reservoir parameters is proposed in Dupuy et al. (2014). The
­results for downscaled modulus are shown in Figure 3.
The kinematical properties of anisotropic models
with different complexity are developed in Hao and
Stovas (2014a-f). In Figure 4, one can see the accuracy plot for phase (left) and group (right) velocity approximation in 3D orthorhombic model.

from a multilayered VTI model is shown in Figure 6 right.
The behavior of kinematical properties of moveout ­approximations
by their mapping from VTI to TTI parameter space is shown in ­Stovas
and Alkhalifah (2014a). The NMO velocity in TTI ­medium by mapping
of GMA approximation is given in Figure 6 left. The analytical representation of imaging wave in a gradient and ­factorized medium
is derived in Stovas and Alkhalifah (2014b,c). The ­accuracy is illu­
strated in Figure 6 middle. New method of the local slopes mapping
The method for low-frequency upscaling in TTI media is developed
in Stovas and Roganov (2014b,c) and Stovas (2014). The effective
slowness surface for P- and S-wave with different tilt values is
shown in Figure 7.

The IO Center is developing a completely new approach to
­reservoir optimization. This method goes under the name
REMSO (REservoir Multiple Shooting Optimizer) and uses new
capabilities that includes constraints provided by reservoir
and production engineers, and exploits parallelism, reduction
techniques and automatic differentiation. REMSO is tightly
inter­ faced with MRST (MATLAB Reservoir Simulation Toolbox). NTNU, the Federal University of Santa Catarina and the
Technical University of Denmark together with Petrobras are
collaborating in this project.
A first version of this tool is available at www.github.com/
iocenter/remso and a publication in the SPE Journal (SPE174094-PA) describes its capabilities. Current developments
aim to deal with more general reservoir descriptions and with
uncertainty in addition to more efficient non-linear solvers.
