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. 3 Department of Petroleum Engineering and Applied Geophysics STAFF Head of Department: Egil Tjåland Deputy Head of Department (education): Sigbjørn Sangesland Deputy Head of Department (research): Ståle Emil Johansen Head of Administration: Sylvi Vefsnmo SCIENTIFIC STAFF Administrative Staff Anne-Lise Brekken, Lisbeth Hultmann, Patrick Reurink 80 (IO-center), Tone Sanne, Turid Oline Uvsløkk, Sylvi Vefsnmo, 60 Madelein Wold 40 100 Technical Staff 0 2014 2013 2009 2010 2011 2012 Knut Reitan Backe, Gunnar Bjerkan, Terje Bjerkan, 450 Håkon Myhren, Roger Overå, Lars Johan Sandvik, Åge Sivertsen, 400 Georg Voss, Erlend Våtevik 350 300 250 200 60 150 TEMPORARY SCIENTIFIC STAFF Associate Professors 20 Milan Stanko, Erling I.

The seminar went through the Department’s activities last year and discussed the strategy for research and education forward. Group work and presentations were also one of the activities. There was also time for a sightseeing tour, The Golden Circle, which took us to some of Iceland’s most stunning sights, including among others the Geysir geothermal area to see the geyser Strokkur, the Gullfoss waterfall and Thingvellir National Park. 6 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. 7 Department of Petroleum Engineering and Applied Geophysics The following figure shows the wettability index measurement data for the cores treated by different concentrations of nanofluid. As shown, the higher concentration of nanoparticles the more water wet cores will be. Nanoparticles adsorption inside porous medium Wettability Index for Aged Cores Treated by nanoparticles.

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 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. 1/4 scale T 12-1/4" borehole 9-5/8" casing Pressurized cell for thermal cycling tests of annular sealants. 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. 9 Department of Petroleum Engineering and Applied Geophysics NANO-ENABLED SUSTAINABLE CEMENT SHEATH BEHIND THE CASING Problem: Loss of zonal isolation due to cement sheath failure (main focus on autogenous shrinkage and low tensile properties of cementitious materials) Lab: Study the impact of selected industrial nanomaterials (fibrous, flexible and expansive) on autogenous shrinkage and flexibility of cement system. Increase of de-bonded regions and cracks across the cement-sheath upon thermal cycling. New SFI within Subsea Production and Processing A new centre for innovation-driven research (SFI) within subsea production and processing technology (SUBPRO) has been app roved by the Research Council of Norway (NFR). The centre is a cooperation between the department of chemical process technology (IKP) (coordinator), department of petroleum engineering and applied geophysics (IPT) and department of production and quality engineering (IPK). The annual budget is in the order of 2530 NMOK. Figure 1: The Flattened Brazilian test apparatus with tested samples and accurate crack style.

Research scientists: 70 PhD-students: 12 Postdoctoral fellows: 2 Master students: 14 Journal papers: 2 Conference papers: 28 Technical reports: 48 Total revenue 47,8 MNOK 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. 15 Department of Petroleum Engineering and Applied Geophysics Research partners Industry partners Collaborating research institutions INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON INTEGRATED OPERATIONS IN THE PETROLEUM INDUSTRY – WHERE SCIENCE AND BUSINESS MEET IO14 was the 10th International Conference on Integrated Operation in the petroleum industry organized by the IO Center and took place on September 30 to October 1 in Trondheim.
