The Flow Rig Laboratory (in Norwegian; Strømningslaben) provides experiments on water flood, liquid-liquid and liquid-gas relative permeability in situ reservoir conditions in core samples. Since 2012, the The Flow Rig Laboratory has served as a research facility for PhD research fellows and scientists at the Dept. of Geosciences, UiO. The lab is also open for routine measurements to industry clients and non-UiO organisations.
Structure and composition
The X-ray labs have two advanced instruments: the X-ray diffraction (XRD) instrument and the X-Ray fluorescence (XRF) instrument. The labs serves in teaching activities and in providing analyses to research projects at the Department of Geosciences. The labs also offer services to other research departments and institutes, as well as clients from industry.
The Electron Microprobe Analyzer (EMPA) provides in-situ qualitative and quantitative chemical analysis of minerals and other solid materials at the micrometer scale. We have extensive experience in performing high-quality microanalyses for research and education at the Dept. of Geosciences, Material Sciences and other Institutes at UiO, for other Norwegian and Nordic research institutions as well as for industry clients.
