Financing oil and gas projects in Nigeria
Oil and gas is a major source of energy worldwide. Therefore its significance for Nigeria as a major producer cannot be understated. Notwithstanding the huge revenue derived from oil and gas, its contribution to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is minimal. This can be ascribed to the fact that …

Characterizing methane emissions on oil and gas sites
Reducing methane emissions from the oil and gas sector is a key component of short-term climate action, and emission reduction efforts in this sector are increasingly driven by measurements at the individual facility scale. This thesis introduces a number of inversion techniques that use methane …

Negotiating power over oil and gas resources in Senegal: The political economy of oil and gas in a ‘new producer’ country.
Negotiating power over oil and gas resources in Senegal: The political economy of oil and gas in a ‘new producer’ country. Ana Francisca Ramirez. Since its independence from France in 1960, Senegal has displayed relative political stability and institutional capacity, as well as peaceful democratic …

Conversion of oil and gas wells to geothermal reinjection
Number of old, disused and abandoned oil wells around the globe is counted in millions. If just a small fraction could be converted for geothermal utilization, it could significantly reduce costs and environmental impact compared to making new wells from scratch. The focus of this project is …

Limit State Design of oil and gas well casings
… conduit during all phases of drilling operations and production in the oil and gas industry. Traditionally casings were designed using working stress design, which had a number of shortcomings such as poor economics, inflexibility and uneven risk. This thesis was initiated by the increasing demand …

Rate-Transient Analysis of Tight Oil and Gas Reservoirs
… technologies applied to low-permeability (tight) oil and gas reservoirs in recent decades, resulting in commercial production. For each stage in a MFHW, the formation is fractured by injecting water and sand at high pressure. The resulting hydraulic fracture system enhances production from tight …

Queueing System Analysis in Oil and Gas Abandonment Operations
Oil and Gas (O&G) well abandonments are crucial in ensuring environmental and regulatory compliance in the industry. This thesis characterizes an O&G well abandonment system and process using well-plugging regulations from six major hydrocarbon-producing states in the United States. A comprehensive …

Probabilistic Oil and Gas Production Forecasting using Machine Learning
This thesis improves oil- and gas-well profitability by quantifying the uncertainty of the production-forecasting process, using probabilistic machine learning (ML) techniques. A Bayesian Neural Network successfully modelled a complex shale gas reservoir system (Eagle Ford), generating a production …
