About

CV

I am a senior advisor at Equinor and an Adjunct Professor (Professor II) in gas technology at NTNU. My work connects thermodynamics, process simulation, field development and production optimization. A central goal is to develop methods that support safer operations, more efficient energy use and lower CO2 emissions.

Agentic AI for the process industry

My research explores how agentic artificial intelligence (AI) can support engineering work. An AI agent can help define a problem, retrieve relevant data, set up and run calculations, compare alternatives and document the results. We connect these capabilities to physics-based models, including those in NeqSim.

For industry, this approach can make it faster to investigate production constraints, energy use, emissions and potential improvements to a process facility. My research also examines how these workflows can produce traceable calculations, make uncertainty visible and support technical review before decisions are made. The aim is to make advanced simulation more accessible and useful in both field development and day-to-day operations.

Research and student project topics

  • Agentic AI, digital twins and the use of process data in engineering
  • Production optimization within technical, safety and environmental constraints
  • Thermodynamic models and physical properties of natural gas, hydrogen and CO2
  • CO2 handling, transport, injection and storage
  • Gas processing, including dehydration and dew-point control
  • Flow assurance, including hydrate and wax control
  • Subsea processing and technology for unmanned gas production

Teaching

In my teaching, I emphasize the connection between fundamental thermodynamics, industrial problems, programming and process simulation. Students learn to build and use models, assess their assumptions and check whether the results are physically reasonable. These skills are especially important when AI is used to propose or perform parts of an engineering calculation.

  • Gas Process Technology (TEP4185)
  • Field Development and Operations (TPG4230)
  • Natural Gas, CO2 and Hydrogen Processing (TEP08)

Open resources and collaboration

I contribute to the development of NeqSim, an open-source tool for thermodynamic calculations and process simulation. Its source code is available on GitHub, while NeqSim-Colab provides interactive examples for learning and exploration.

Read more about production optimization with NeqSim, agentic engineering and the use of AI agents in facility operations.

I welcome contact from students and companies interested in collaboration on thermodynamics, process simulation, production optimization or technically verifiable uses of AI in the process industry. Search NVA for publications and academic work.

Research

My research connects thermodynamics, gas processing and process simulation with the development of more efficient industrial operations. I focus on methods that can support sound engineering decisions across field development, production and CO2 management.

  • Agentic AI and digital process twins: Connecting AI agents, plant data and physics-based models to investigate engineering questions and produce results that can be checked and traced.
  • Production optimization: Identifying process bottlenecks and evaluating production, energy use and emissions within operating and safety constraints.
  • Thermodynamics: Developing and evaluating models for the physical properties and phase behaviour of oil, natural gas, hydrogen and CO2.
  • Gas processing: Acid-gas removal, dehydration and dew-point control.
  • CO2 management: Processes for CO2 removal, transport, injection and storage.
  • Flow assurance: Hydrate, wax and scale prediction and control.
  • Future production facilities: Subsea processing and process concepts for unmanned field operations.

The open-source simulation tool NeqSim is an important part of this work. It provides physics-based calculations for research, teaching and the evaluation of industrial processes.

Supervision

I have supervised and co-supervised master's and doctoral research in collaboration with universities and industry. These projects often combine experimental data, thermodynamic modelling, programming and process simulation to address practical challenges in the energy sector.

Topics include:

  • Gas processing: Dehydration using glycols and adsorption, acid-gas removal, and the development of new process solutions.
  • Thermodynamics and physical properties: Measurement and modelling of phase behaviour, dew points, and the properties of natural gas, hydrogen and CO2-containing mixtures.
  • Separation and field development: Monitoring and improving separation processes, including gas processing for fields with high CO2 content.
  • Subsea processing: Thermodynamics and process concepts that could enable wellstream processing closer to the seabed.
  • Flow assurance: Modelling and control of challenges such as hydrate and wax formation during oil and gas transport.
  • Digital models: Process digital twins, condition monitoring, and models that support the operation and maintenance of process equipment.

These projects give students experience in connecting fundamental theory with measurements and industrial problems. Search the Norwegian Research Information Repository (NVA) for theses and research outputs associated with my name.
