Clock test / Electronics development
The objective of the project is to assist in development of cost-effective tools for measurement of flow rate in oil wells, and hence get improved utilization of wells.
Drilling and wells
SINTEF combines theoretical work with laboratory experiments and field experience, and focuses on making results from the work available for operational team, in order to contribute to faster, safer and cheaper drilling and well operations while also caring for the long term integrity of the wells.

HIP Source: Heatwave Inflow Performance Source Characterization
The HIPlog system uses heat pulses released into the well fluid for real-time downhole flow monitoring. The system comprises autonomous heat sources installed in the well and software for interpretation of measured heat pulses. The HIP Source project...

Simulation model may reduce the climate footprint of oil production
Future offshore oil and gas fields are most likely to be “satellite developments” that are less expensive and emit less greenhouse gases than other fields because they do not require new production platforms. An innovative Norwegian computational...
