Reservoir Physics emphasizes multiphase flow in porous media, with special focus on oil, gas and water flowing in porous rocks. In particular the study is aimed at enhanced oil recovery (EOR). Students will obtain information on the state of the art within oil recovery, especially related to EOR on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. Emphasis is on understanding the fundamental principles of oil recovery, but also practical approaches are included. Key words for the curriculum are: Core analysis, capillary pressure, relative permeability and wettability. Also real time data processing and natural gas hydrates are parts of the topics in this study.

Learning Outcomes

A candidate with a master´s degree in Reservoir Physics 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 specialization.
