The thermo-physical properties of CO2-brine-ice-hydrate systems applications to near wellbore CO2 injection
We are seeking a postdoctoral researcher to work on developing computationally efficient routines to model the thermo-physical properties of brine-CO2 systems with CO2 of variable purity and at conditions which include solid phase transitions of ice/hydrates in the near well-bore environment. The work is part of the EU collaborative RETURN (ACT3) project on geological carbon storage that focuses on enabling safe and cost-efficient long-term CO2 storage in depleted oil and gas reservoirs by understanding the cooling and CO2 phase change effects during injection. These reservoirs are well characterized from previous oil and gas activities, have demonstrated ability to retain gasses and liquids, and offer the most effective route to development of the CO2 capacity necessary to meet net-zero targets by 2050. Project partners include the Net Zero Technology Centre (UK), leading European universities and major European oil and gas companies. Cambridge hosts an active multidisciplinary group focused on carbon storage. Geochemical and multiphase flow work is carried out jointly between the Department of Earth Sciences, the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics and the BPI Centre for Environmental and Industrial Flows.
The successful applicant will have experience in the modelling and thermodynamics of geological fluids and solids and either hold a PhD (or equivalent) in physical sciences, engineering, mathematics or similar (or have recently submitted a PhD dissertation in these areas). The applicant will work with researchers in Cambridge developing reference solutions for the CO2 phase behaviour and flow in coupled wellbore-reservoirs for simplified systems that allow exact solutions. An interest in, and familiarity with, flow in porous rocks and geological formations is advantageous. The successful candidate will have a track record of publication in peer-reviewed international journals and will have good communication skills in order to present results at international meetings.
Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available for 2 years in the first instance.
