Postdoc in PVT Modelling and Compositional Simulation

jobbeskrivelse:

Centre for Energy Resources Engineering (CERE) at DTU Chemistry seeks a postdoc in connection with the project Gas Injection in Lower Cretaceous Reservoirs. CERE is a cross-departmental centre (www.cere.dtu.dk). The CERE group at DTU Chemistry is focused on high-pressure phase behaviour and other critical issues related to oil and gas production, petroleum processing, and carbon dioxide sequestration, where a fundamental understanding based on chemistry, physics, and necessary mathematical tools is needed. The research activities at CERE, DTU Chemistry mainly involve experimental measurement and modelling of phase equilibrium and thermophysical properties at high pressure and development of efficient phase equilibrium calculation algorithms for compositional simulations. http://www.cere.dtu.dk/

Responsibilities and tasks


The major responsibility of the postdoc is to carry out modelling and simulation work in this project about gas injection. The postdoc is supposed to interact with other colleagues within the project working on experimental PVT measurement, core flooding tests and gas diffusion measurements. The postdoc needs to help plan various experimental studies, develop fluid models based on the measured experimental data, and processing the core flooding data to get suitable engineering parameters for larger scale simulations, and finally develop a sector compositional model to estimate the effects of gas injection, its feasibility and which gas is more suitable. It is expected the candidate is familiar with thermodynamic modelling and compositional simulation, and has sufficient knowledge about reservoir engineering. The position also involves research and development on the fundamental aspects of gas injection theory and thermodynamics modelling of complex reservoir fluids.

The experimental measurement will be carried out with the help from the CERE group at DTU Chemical Engineering. The candidate is expected to collaborate with other groups in CERE as well as with the Danish Hydrocarbon Research and Technology Centre at DTU.

Qualifications

Candidates should have a PhD degree or equivalent in chemical engineering, chemistry, petroleum engineering, or mathematics.

Previous experience with PVT modelling of reservoir fluids and reservoir simulation is an advantage.

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
• experience in teaching
• an all-round experience basis, preferably including international experience
• the ability to contribute to development of internal and external cooperation
