About
Senior advisor at Equinor and professor at NTNU in gas technology. The focus of my work includes field development, digitalization in the process industry, future field development, energy-efficient and low CO2 solutions, gas processing, and flow assurance. Current work involves the evaluation and development of thermodynamic models for CO2 and hydrogen.
See master thesis and PhD works I have supervised.
Have a look at the website we are developing for teaching, programming, and process simulation related to gas technology.
Ongoing research and student projects:
- Digitalization in gas technology
- Thermodynamics and physical properties of hydrogen and carbon dioxide
- Development of processes for unmanned field operation
- CO2 removal, injection, and storage
- Gas processing (acid gas, dehydration, dew point control)
- Subsea processing (development of new processes)
- Thermodynamics of oil and gas
- Flow assurance (wax control, hydrate control, scale)
Teaching:
- Natural Gas Technology (TEP4185)
- Natural gas, CO2 and hydrogen processing (TEP08)
List of Publications.
Active involvement in developing simulation software for oil and gas processing (NeqSim). The simulation tool is developed in Java, with toolboxes in Matlab and Python. Students with interest for programming and process simulation is encouraged to take part in the development. The NeqSim source code is available from GitHub. Companies that are interested in scientific work (master/PhD) related to thermodynamics, process simulation, programming, machine learning can be involved by suggesting future focus and development.
