Improved Recovery

Presentasjonsnotater
The aim of the center is clear: we must increase the recovery rate on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. There are enormous values in mature fields in the North Sea and when Tord Lien opened the center in 2014, the value was compared to the price of the new opera house in Oslo. Only 1 percent improved recovery would correspond to 75 new opera houses - or 300 billion. Today, more than half of the oil is left in the reservoirs. My ambitious goal has been to get out as much as 70 percent, and I think that is still possible. Research in the center is world class, and if there is someone who will reach this target, it's us. Målet for senteret er klart: vi skal øke utvinningsgraden på norsk sokkel, det ligger enorme verdier igjen i modne felt i Nordsjøen. Da Tord Lien åpnet senteret i 2014 ble verdien målt i antall operahus. Da ville 1 prosents økt utvinning tilsvart det samme som 75 nye operahus – eller 300 milliarder kroner. I dag ligger mer enn halvparten av oljen igjen i reservoarene. Mitt litt ambisiøse mål har vært å få ut hele 70 prosent, og det tror jeg fortsatt er mulig. Forskningen i senteret er i verdensklasse, og er det noen som skal klare det, så er det oss.

How do we contribute to improve the recovery on the Norwegian Continental Shelf? This is done by combining research from several different fields, and through interdisciplinary collaboration between the scientists, the academics and the experts in oil and service companies we will be able to tailor solutions for each individual reservoir.��Cooperation between research partners goes back for decades and form the basis for a unique expertise that does not exist elsewhere. In addition, collaboration with industry is invaluable for the center, as it assures the quality of the research that is being performed. In the center, we believe that cooperation makes us stronger, and we have therefore focused on finding good partners, both nationally and internationally. We have, for example, several PhD students and Post docs located at other universities, such as University of Bergen and Oslo. This means that we have access to a good research network also outside our formal research partners. Hvordan skal vi bidra til at utvinningen på norsk sokkel økes? Det skal vi gjøre ved å kombinere forskning fra flere ulike felt, og gjennom tverrfaglig samarbeid mellom oss forskere, akademikere og eksperter i olje og service selskap vil vi kunne skreddersy løsninger for hvert enkelt reservoar. Samarbeidet mellom forskningspartnerne går tiår tilbake i tid, og danner grunnlaget for en unik kompetanse som ikke finnes andre steder. I tillegg er samarbeidet med industrien uvurderlig for senteret, da det kvalitetssikrer forskningen som blir gjort. I senteret tror vi på at samarbeid gjør oss sterkere, og vi har derfor jobbet for å finne gode samarbeidspartnere, både nasjonalt og internasjonalt. Vi har f.eks flere doktorgradsstipendiater og Post docs plassert ved andre universiteter, slik som UiB og UiO. Dette gjør at vi får tilgang til god forskning også utenfor våre formelle forskningspartnere.

The organization
Brukernavn
Presentasjonsnotater
The Centre is located, organizationally, at the department level and not the institute level, thus making it easier to utilize the resources from the various institutes at UiS. The Centre is an important factor in enhancing UiS’ image as an attractive destination for The Faculty of Science and Technology and students alike, and has beyond doubt attracted several outstanding graduate students as well as impacted the courses given at master’s level within Reservoir Technology and Geoscience Engineering. The organisation of the Centre under the Faculty of Science and Technology is promoting the cross-sharing of knowledge between departments at the faculty, and the multidisciplinary research links together different fields within science and technology subjects.

THE PROCESS OF IDEA GENERATION, PROJECT SELECTION, PROJECT PLANNING and PROJECT REVIEW: The TC is an arena for good dialogue and cooperation between User and Research Partners. A result of common effort was construction of the road map, which has been instrumental in defining key activities and milestones that are required to meet the objective of demonstrating a potential for IOR. The map gives an overview of how each of the tasks and projects are related to each other and sets the direction for the research within the two themes, specific milestones on the time line and overall goals. Senior scientists from UiS, IRIS, and IFE`s core group of researchers serve as task leaders. As an overall strategy in these tasks, researchers coming from different research environments (IOR/EOR, reservoir, chemistry, geology, geochemistry, geophysics, mathematics, nano- science/technology, biochemistry, environmental, industrial economy) are involved from the partners as well as national and international collaborators. Efficient and good working routines have been established. All the projects in the Centre are generated by the researchers and the industry partners, in that way we secure that projects are driven by a genuine research interest from the principal investigator (PI). Bi-annual project reporting and Workplans

Environment – we make seawater smarter
Brukernavn
Presentasjonsnotater
The environment is importnat for the centre. All projects must strive to develop technology that is as gentle as possible to the environment. This applies both in terms of what we inject into the reservoirs to extract more oil, and to ensure that new technology should not require more energy than needed to be used. Here's an example: By slightly changing the composition of normal seawater, we can actually increase oil recovery from a reservoir. Simply put; the seawater has become a little smarter, with properties that can bring more oil out of the reservoirs.��In the new strategy from OG21, 10 main priorities highlighted in several different areas that together will provide better utilization of resources on the Norwegian Continental Shelf; to lower the costs and lower the greenhouse gas emissions. In the center we cover many of these areas. The methods we develop should be as energy efficient as possible. We will protect the environment and do thorough research to ensure that the methods we develop are as gentle as possible. Miljøaspektet har stort fokus i senteret. Alle prosjekter skal strebe etter å utvikle teknologi som er mest mulig skånsom mot miljøet. Dette gjelder både i form av hva vi tilsetter reservoarene for å hente ut mer olje, men også ikke minst at selve teknologien ikke skal kreve mer energi enn nødvendig for å brukes. Her er et eksempel: Ved å endre litt på sammensettingen til helt vanlig sjøvann, kan vi faktisk øke oljeutvinningen. Sjøvannet blir, for å forklare det veldig enkelt, litt smartere, og får egenskaper som gjør at det tar med seg mer olje ut fra reservoarene. I den nye strategien til OG21 er det pekt på 10 hovedprioriteringer innen flere områder som til sammen skal gi bedre ressursutnyttelse på norsk sokkel til lavere kostnader og med lavere klimagassutslipp. I senteret dekker vi flere av disse. Metodene vi utvikler skal være så energieffektive som mulige. Vi skal beskytte miljøet og gjør grundige undersøkelser for å sikre at metodene vi utvikler er så skånsomme som mulig.
Polymers push more oil out of the pores

A long and lanky polymer chain holds the potential to secure Norwegian welfare with the value of hundreds of new opera houses. The aim is that a viscous polymer is injected into reservoirs and extract the oil that left behind the first time man was visiting. En lang og hengslete polymerkjede har i seg potensialet til å sikre norsk velferd med verdien av hundrevis av operahus. Målet er at en tyktflytende polymermasse skal sprøytes inn i reservoarer og ta med seg den oljen som lurte seg unna første gang mennesket var på besøk.

If we can predict how a reservoir behave, we are better equipped to recover more oil.�Our simulators include data from all the research in the center: from the tiny pores, the core, large-scale as the Yard test and right up to field-scale Ved å forutsi hvordan reservoaret oppfører seg er vi bedre rustet for å hente opp mer olje. Inkluderer data fra all forskning i senteret: fra bittesmå porer, til kjerne, storskala som Yard testen og helt opp til feltskala
