Postdoctoral Fellow in Geomechanics
6 months ago
About the job
The postdoctoral fellowship position is a temporary position where the main goal is to qualify for work in senior academic positions.
Safe subsurface CO2 storage requires no leakage from the reservoir to the top surface (seafloor or on land) over an indefinitely long time. The required containment has implications for characterization and operation of the storage site, and not least, for the surrounding rock. This is an area where geomechanical evaluation together with seismic characterization and monitoring is crucial for a successful CCS project.
The postdoctoral project is focused towards geomechanical processes associated with injection operations where pore pressure, stresses and temperature change within the storage reservoir as well as in the surroundings. The work will be based on experiments performed in SINTEF's Formation Physics laboratory, supported by data available from open literature. The work will be performed in collaboration with the PhD on numerical modelling, supervised by Prof. Alexandre Lavrov. The main objective of the work described here will be to contribute to a toolbox for assessing the influence of injection-induced stress, pore pressure and temperature changes on cap rock integrity and within the storage reservoir. Emphasis will be on identification of crucial parameters for assessment of geomechanical and rock physics contributions to 4D seismic monitoring and forecasting of leakages.
Overall, the proposed project will aim to address the following research questions:
How does cooling of reservoir and overburden formations affect stress and pore pressure changes during injection? What are the key parameters required to perform required analysis of cap rock and reservoir integrity, and how can they most reliably be measured or obtained through indirect measurements / modelling?Your immediate leader is Head of Department.
Duties of the position
Thermo-Poro-Elastic laboratory characterization of anisotropic shale and reservoir rock cores Analysis of experimental data to extend to numerical simulations (VISAGE), with collaboration with Prof. Alexandre Lavrov
