HOMEPAGE OF EXPERTS IN TEAM



Increased oil and gas recovery from Haltenbanken

halten1Haltenbanken, west of Trondheim in the Norwegian Sea, is an interesting area for both production and exploration. First production from Haltenbanken started in 1995. This village is established based on challenges from this area. Several fields are in production and new fields are under development. The fields operated from Stjørdal are the Åsgard Field including Smørbukk, Smørbukk South and Midgard and the Kristin field, Tyrihans, Morvin, Mikkel, Heidrun and Njord Equinor fields. See the link at left for their operated fields.

All fields are working with Improved Oil Recovery (IOR) challenges in many different ways. It is important to keep up the work to increase the recovery factor to delay the declining production. All new ideas are valuable for further investigation within all type of disciplines, reservoir, production, geophysics, geology, petrophysics, drilling and completion. We seek your expertise to add value to this important work.

The technical task in this project will be divided in two parts. First part will focus on IOR  for Haltenbanken fields in general. The second part will have main focus on one of the Haltenbanken fields to be selected later. Tasks will primarily deal with IOR challenges, production optimization, infill drilling targets, and recovery from low permeable facies.

The required data from the selected field will be available at the start of the village. The data will be an important basis for all project work in the village.

halten3The group projects will naturally have a basis in petroleum geosciences and petroleum engineering, however, students from other technology areas are most welcome. Sufficient training will be given as needed. Each group will consist of students from various study programs in order to form a multidisciplinary team. Each group will be assigned advisors both from NTNU and Equinor.

The first or the second day of the Haltenbanken Village a group of experts from Equinor in Stjørdal will be with the student groups presenting current challenges in production of the fields in Haltenbanken area. The actual group projects will be defined by Equinor and the groups after this day. Equinor will vistit the village during the semester, and the final presentations will be at Equinor.
