Smart-Wells/Fields-related TU Delft PhD dissertations
The following PhD dissertations address different aspects of the broad Smart Fields theme. The underlying research has been performed in different groups at TU Delft, and sometimes in cooperation with TU Eindhoven and TNO. The work has been funded by a variety of parties/consortia, notably VALUE, ISAPP I, ISAPP II, Recovery Factory, DELPHI, The Kuwait Institute for Scientifc Research (KISR), Petrobras and the Mexican Institute of Petroleum (MIP).
