stillingsbetegnelse: Senior Research Scientist in Geomodelling

jobbeskrivelse:
Danish Hydrocarbon Research and Technology Centre (DHRTC). DHRTC (also called Centre for Oil and Gas – DTU) is established by the Danish Underground Consortium and DTU. The centre has received a starting grant of DKK 1 billion for a 10-year period and relies on close interaction between Academia and industry. As part of the National Strategy on Oil and Gas, the research centre is an ambitious, targeted effort to enable increased recovery of oil and gas from the Danish North Sea. The goal will be achieved by cooperation with the industry and other research institutions to further progress knowledge and solutions with application potential, and by contributing to research-based teaching programs. A clear objective of the DHRTC is to identify and create confidence in ideas that can radically improve recovery from the Danish North Sea. It is believed that such ideas are typically cross-disciplinary in nature and that the ideas are typically created in a dialogue where insight in existing fields and technologies meets knowledge of new technologies. The research projects currently underway at the DHRTC involve building and populating static geo-models based on 3D seismic and wellbore data. This will involve integrating results from other research projects and groups, such as geomechanical data from laboratory tests and outcrop analogue data. Up-scaled versions of the static models will serve as the base for running fluid flow and 3D geomechanical models. The Centre is now seeking senior research scientist who has the ambition and expertise to contribute to the Centre. Responsibilities and tasks The successful candidate will be responsible for building and populating static geomodels and integration of seismic and well data. There will be a strong focus on how to optimize the implementation of fractures and of faults in the model. This will therefore require good knowledge of geomodelling software packages, upscaling, geomechanics and fracture modelling. Qualifications Candidates should have a Ph.D. degree or equivalent as well as academic qualifications equivalent to those obtained by holding a position as Researcher or Postdoc and experience in reservoir modelling in an academic or industry environment. Further qualifications •Previous experience with North Sea chalk reservoirs is highly advantageous. Experience in sedimentology, petrophysics, geomechanics or seismic interpretation would also be an advantage. •There will be some amount of administration and project planning so project management skills will be an advantage •The common language at the center is English and fluency both verbal and written in English is expected. •Rock mechanics and Rock physics experience is a plus. •Ability to integrate petrophysical work with geophysics, the geology and reservoir engineering is critical. As the project is expected to incorporate a wide range of data, additional academic or industry experience not mentioned here may be regarded advantageous. Assessment In the assessment of the candidates consideration will be given to: •scientific production and research potential at international level •innovative skills and the ability to generate new ideas •the ability to communicate at all levels such as the provision of scientific advice to public sector authorities •the ability to promote and utilize research results •an all-round experience basis, preferably including international experience •the ability to contribute to development of internal and external cooperation We offer DTU offers 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. DTU is a leading technical university in northern Europe and benchmarks with the best universities in the world. Salary and terms o
