Associate Researcher

Tertiary Oil Recovery Project

Position Overview

The University of Kansas Tertiary Oil Recovery Program (KU TORP) seeks
applicants to fill a research position to participate in pore-scale imaging
and modeling techniques of geologic formations. This position expands the KU
TORP's capabilities in obtaining dedicated and purpose-designed images of
porous media under flow conditions as well as simulating displacements at
pore levels.
Prior experience in analyzing large stacks of images, understanding of
pore-scale phenomena, and working with micro-CT scanners and their
integrated flow systems are key requirements.

Must have proof of legal authority to work in the United States.
 

Job Description

30% - Operation of the newly acquired micro-CT imaging system: Coordinate,
design, and perform multiphase flow experiments/simulations to deliver
project results, facilitate collaborations among other faculty and TORP
members and promote pore-scale modeling techniques at the Earth, Energy &
Environment Research & Development Center (EEE R&D).
5% - Coordinate operation and maintenance of the micro-CT scanner.
5% - Assist other scientists/researchers in use of the scanner.
30% - Supervise graduate students in the use of the scanner and the
development of pore-scale modeling techniques.
10% - Collaborate with other KU staff and faculty members to address
research activities including fluid flow behavior in conventional and
unconventional reservoirs, conformance control, Enhanced Oil Recovery
processes such as CO2 flooding, interfacial phenomena, phase behavior, and
Earth, Energy & Environment Center EOR and geosciences leads to plan,
coordinate, and actively participate in EOR laboratory and R&D projects.
15% - Work closely with the EEEC EOR geoscience leads to plan, coordinate,
and actively participate in EOR laboratory and R&D projects. Develop
innovative research ideas/proposals, and ensure that EEEC EOR/rock
characterization R&D function is working toward achieving its respective
objectives.
5% - Participate in research resulting in peer reviewed publications. 

 

Required Qualifications

.        1. Ph.D. in Geosciences, Chemical Engineering, Petroleum
Engineering or related field.

.        2. Two years of research experience in both experimental and
modeling aspects of enhanced oil recovery projects with a focus on
multiphase flow through geologic formations, PVT analysis, imaging using
micro-CT scanners, image processing simulations, and pore-scale modeling
techniques.
