Overview

Key facts

University of Bergen's Reservoir Geology study is in particular directed towards mechanisms for production of oil and the study of multi-phase flow in porous media. The aim is to take advantage of research and expertise both from internal (UiB) and external research environments to educate candidates with technological competence suited for work in the petroleum industry.

Porous and permeable reservoir rocks are the basis for the presence of oil or gas, and to what extent these resources can be produced. For these reasons it is important to map out the geology of the reservoir, both by analyzing the stratigraphy and studying the sedimentology and geometry of the constituent geological formations. Key reservoir properties can also be analyzed through different laboratory methods to obtain information about porosity and permeability, fundamental parameters in determining the potential for flow of oil and gas through the reservoir.

Programme Structure
