Overview
Key facts
University of Bergen's Reservoir Chemistry study is particularly aimed at understanding the mechanisms oil recovery and multiphase flow in porous media. The study aims at using expertise from within the University in cooperation with external research environments so that the candidates develop a technological competence that is relevant for work in the oil industry.
In principle Reservoir Chemistry covers the entire production chain from composition and use of the drilling fluid, corrosion control, oil recovery and treatment of the produced oil. The main focus is enhanced oil recovery. Amongst the important parameters studied is how to reduce the interfacial tension between water and oil, how to measure and possibly change the wetting conditions of oil reservoirs, and how pores may be blocked permanently or semipermanently.
