dhrtc
creates results through interdisciplinary research
and innovation the danish hydrocarbon research and technology centre (dhrtc) was set up to help increase the recovery of oil and gas in the danish section of the north sea on a commercially viable basis. the centre?s vision is to engage in interdisciplinary inter- national top-class research in collaboration with the business community. 8 how dhrtc?s research is organized 9 denmark is dependent on fossil fuels 10 introduction to the research programme advanced water
flooding, awf 12 new seismic method creates close-ups of chalk using a combination of two seismic measuring methods, janina kammann, a geo- physicist, obtains new and detailed knowledge about what chalk strata look like. the new ?close-ups? mean that the oil industry has more detailed information on the ge- ology and geophysics in the oil-bearing strata. 15 ct scanning of core plugs contributes to more efficient oil recovery out in the north sea, it is not possible to examine what exactly takes place in the reservoir when the oil industry injects water and in future perhaps adds chemicals, modified water, or bacteria to increase recovery. therefore, researchers from dhrtc have taken core plugs to the laboratory and ct-scanned the recovery process. 17 dhrtc explores alternative methods for water flooding experiments at the end of 2016, researchers at geus started a series of ?ekofisk base case ex- periments?, with the aim of investigating alternative methods for water flooding un- der reservoir conditions in the laboratory. c o ntents 15 photo: joachim rhode 12 photo: carsten albrechtsen 24 26 4 dhrtc 2016
