In priciple 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.

About this course

Reservoir Chemistry combines chemistry, physics and mathematics with geology to provide a sound background for working with problems related to oil and gas production. The present 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.

Learning Outcomes

A candidate with a master´s degree in Reservoir Chemistry will have deep, research-based knowledge in that research field, and extensive experience and understanding of petroleum technology research in general. The candidate is experienced in the independent performance of a research task, which includes the following subtasks:
  • Acquiring knowledge about a research topic form the scientific literature
  • Formulating a hypothesis that can be proved or disproved
  • Making a critical evaluation of the existing knowledge in the field and identify areas that need new knowledge or understanding
  • Evaluating methods and choosing a methodology that could lead to the required knowledge
  • Completing the research task
  • Interpreting the results in light of the initial hypothesis
  • Presenting the work orally and in writing using the established formats of scientific publication
The candidate will have extensive knowledge which qualifies for continuing independent work in the industry and further research specialisation.
