A PhD position in numerical modelling of EOR/IOR processes

jobbeskrivelse:
The Danish Hydrocarbon Research and Technology Centre (Centre for Oil and Gas – DTU), Technical University of Denmark (DTU), invites applicants for positions on investigations of mechanisms and models in the context of advanced water flooding. Centre for Oil and Gas – DTU is established by the Danish Underground Consortium and DTU. As part of a national strategy on oil and gas, the research centre is an ambitious, targeted effort to improve recovery of oil and gas from the Danish North Sea. The first of the cross-disciplinary flagship programmes of the centre is advanced water flooding of the Dan, Halfdan, and Kraka oil fields. Responsibilities and tasks The positions will be an integrated part of the advanced water flooding programme with the focus on improving oil recovery in chalk reservoirs in the Danish part of the North Sea. In this context, the candidate is expected to perform fundamental and applied research on understanding of fracture-matrix interactions and recovery from chalk reservoirs, and upscaling of multiphase flow on scales ranging from the core- to field-scale. For field-scale models, employing reliable macroscopic laws capturing the integral effects of fractures on multiphase flow and reducing the computational complexity of modelling of coupled processes are necessary. To this end, reliable modeling techniques need to be developed and verified to integrate the key THMC processes, and geo-models in the reservoir simulators. Application potential The line-of-sight application potential of this project is to assist the screening processes of potential water based recovery methods in the Kraka, Dan, and Halfdan oil fields. Qualifications •M.Sc. degree in engineering or other relevant areas; •Excellent skills in numerical modelling and programming (preferablly C++); •Knowledge of the fundamentals of multiphase flow, geochemistry and geomechanics in porous media; •Previous experience with devloping numerical codes utilising Finite Element and/or Finite Volume methods is highly advantageous. •Ability to work in a multi-disciplinary environment; •Good writing and communication skills in English Approval and Enrolment The scholarships for the PhD degree are subject to academic approval, and the candidates will be enrolled in one of the general degree programmes of DTU. For information about the general requirements for enrolment and the general planning of the scholarship studies, please see the DTU PhD Guide. We offer We offer an interesting and challenging job in an international environment focusing on education, research, public-sector consultancy and innovation, which contribute to enhancing the economy and improving social welfare. We strive for academic excellence, collegial respect and freedom tempered by responsibility. The Technical University of Denmark (DTU) is a leading technical university in northern Europe and benchmarks with the best universities in the world. Salary and appointment terms The salary and appointment terms of the PhD position are consistent with the current rules for PhD degree students. The period of employment is 3 years.
