leading research environments within the Early Childhood Education and Care field. All ECEC research at the university is part of FILIORUM, and the researchers are affiliated with different units at UiS and represent different fields of study, perspectives, research methods and traditions.
Ola Kvaløy is dean and professor of economics at the University of Stavanger School of Business and Law. He received his PhD from the Norwegian School of Economics (NHH) in 2003, and is currently affiliated with NHH as adjunct professor.

Important deliverables from the Centre are well documented and verified methods for evaluation of IOR potential on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. To gain increased knowledge and better methodologies it is important to integrate and combine different methods for field specific applications.
This forum will focus its work on polymer flooding from pore to core scale, and partly to field scale.
The economic feasibility of implementing new IOR methods on a field needs to be evaluated, preferably taking the uncertainty in the reservoir description into account.
Improved modeling methodology and simulation capabilities for IOR are important to perform reliable pilot and full field simulations.
The main objective of this task was to devise methods and procedures to map volumetric distribution of residual oil saturation in a reservoir after secondary production.
What are the most important parameters from smaller scales that are important to describe flow on a larger scale? Chemical EOR methods have proven their potential on core scale. But, additional oil produced at the core scale does not necessarily imply that the field recovery will be similarly increased.
Effective teamwork and sufficient communication are critical components essential to patient safety in today’s specialized and complex healthcare services. Team training is important for an improved efficiency in inter-professional teamwork within hospitals.
The objective of the pore scale task was to identity mechanisms that influence fluid transport, chemical reactions, and oil recovery.
This research group focuses on the mineralogical and geological background of tested rock material for a variety of core flooding experiments and to search for the most economic and fastest toolbox of methods to gain substantial results within this objective.
