(author)Introduction: Oil and gas workers have been shown to be at increased risk of chronic diseases including cancer, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and hearing loss, among others. Technological advances may be used to assess the external (e.g. personal sensors, smartphone apps and online platforms, exposure models) and internal...article 2021

(author)Background and aim The Vasilikos Energy Center (VEC) is a large hydrocarbon industrial hub actively operating in Cyprus. There is strong public interest by the communities surrounding VEC to engage with all stakeholders towards the sustainable development of hydrocarbon in the region. The methodological framework of the exposome concept would...article 2021

Shoeibi Omrani, P. (author), Dobrovolschi, I. (author), Belfroid, S.P.C. (author), Kronberger, P. (author), Munoz, E. (author)In this study we have investigated a fully data-driven approach (artificial neural networks) for real-time back-allocation and virtual flow metering in oil and gas production wells. The main goal of this study is to develop computationally efficient data-driven models to determine the multiphase production rates of individual phases (gas and...conference paper 2019

Belfroid, S.P.C. (author), van Wijhe, A. (author)Liquid loading is the mechanism that is associated with increased liquid hold-up and liquid back flow at lower gas flow rates in gas production wells. In laboratory, most liquid loading experiments are performed at fixed gas and liquid rates (mass flow controlled). In the field, the well behavior is a coupled well-reservoir system in which the...conference paper 2017

Vestly Bergh, L.I. (author), Hinna, S. (author), Leka, S. (author), Zwetsloot, G.I.J.M. (author)The objective of this paper is to present and discuss a pilot study for conducting internal psychosocial risk auditing in the oil and gas industry, focusing on offshore units. Psychosocial risk auditing is a proactive method for monitoring the status of psychosocial factors influencing the risk of stress and ill-health in the oil and gas...article 2016

Bergh, L.I.V. (author), Ringstad, A.J. (author), Leka, S. (author), Zwetsloot, G.I.J.M. (author)Hydrocarbon leaks have a major accident potential in the oil and gas industry. Over the years the oil and gas industry in Norway has worked hard to find means to prevent hydrocarbon leaks and is today able to report significant progress. In this context, the exploration of accidents in light of human error linked to underlying factors related to...article 2014

Terheege, J.H. (author), Wassing, B.B.T. (author), Orlic, B. (author), Giger, S.B. (author), Clennell, M.B. (author)Prediction of hydrocarbon column heights in structural traps critically depends on proper analysis of the sealing capacity of faults. Entrainment of clay in fault zones in upper crustal levels may lead to the development of continuous clay smears that dramatically increase the sealing capacity of faults. In this study, direct shear experiments...article 2013

Mack, A. (author), Spruijt, M.P.N. (author)In the present paper heavy gas dispersion calculations were performed with OpenFoam. For a windtunnel test case, numerical data was validated with experiments. For a full scale numerical experiment,a code to code comparison was performed with numerical results obtained from Fluent. The validationwas performed in a gravity driven environment ...article 2013

(author)Over the last ten to twenty years, geological surveys all over the world have been entangled in a process of digitisation. Their paper archives, built over many decades, have largely been replaced by electronic databases. The systematic production of geological map sheets is being replaced by 3D subsurface modelling, the results of which are...article 2013
