Description

Multiphase pumping, boosting and metering technologies are critical in the offshore oil and gas industry. However, multiphase flows are a very complex physical process since they combine the characteristics of a deformable interface, channel shape, flow direction and in some cases the compressibility of one of the phases (gas phase). Depending on the operating conditions, such as pressure, temperature, mass velocity, channel orientation (the effect of gravity, which in non-vertical channels tends to pull the liquid to the bottom of the channel), and fluid properties which are widely different combinations of different classes of fluids such as oil-gas, oil-water and oil-gas-water etc. Various gas-liquid or liquid-liquid interfacial geometric configurations occur in multiphase flow systems. To develop and improve multiphase pumping, boosting and metering technologies, it is very important to understand the flow regime characteristics under various operation conditions. The available experiments and models are mostly for steady flow conditions. Whether the available models are applicable to the transient operation conditions in the subsea oil gas production is not well explored. Therefore, the proposed research aims to model the complex transient flow regimes of water-gas-oil (oil-water, oil-gas and oil-water-gas) flows under the complex subsea conditions and to develop the corresponding prediction models for the void fraction, liquid holdup and frictional pressure drops. Design criteria of oil-gas-water multiphase flows under various flow regimes will be proposed. The proposed study is fundamental to the further investigation of multiphase metering, boosting and pumping technologies which have been planned as our long-term research targets in the field of multiphase flow.

NSRI was launched in January 2009 to define a co-ordinated long-term research strategy for the UK subsea industry. NSRI is a partnership between Subsea UK, the University of Aberdeen, Robert Gordon University, the University of Dundee, and the University of Newcastle upon Tyne. NSRI Studentships fall within over-arching priority research themes related to reliability and integrity, autonomous systems, and offshore geotechnical engineering and fluid dynamics.

The student will be based in NSRI within the School of Engineering at the University of Aberdeen. The lead supervisor will be Dr Lixin Cheng. The studentship will be co-supervised by an industrial supervisor to be confirmed.

PhD-position: Magnetohydrodynamics & Heat Transfer in Conducting Liquids

Job description

In this project, we study the influence of electromagnetic fields on flow, turbulence and heat transfer in conducting liquid. We will:

• Develop computational models for anisotropic turbulence in MHD flows of conducting liquids.
• Validate the models in an experimental setup mimicking continuous steel casting.
• Apply the models to improve electromagnetic flow control for continuous steel casting.

The scientific questions to be answered include:

• How do large scale magnetic fields influence turbulence and heat transfer in moving conducting liquids?
• How do large scale magnetic fields influence the flow at, and the heat transfer towards, free surfaces in conducting liquids?

Two PhD students will work jointly on the project, in close interaction with a major European steel manufacturing company and a major European manufacturer of large, industrial (electro)magnets.
The experimental work focuses on the measurement of fluid flow and heat transfer in a laboratory set-up closely mimicking a continuous casting liquid pool with emphasis on the behaviour of the free surface for different ways of controlling electromagnetic flow. Instantaneous velocity fields will be measured by using stereoscopic particle image velocimetry (PIV). The PIV will be combined with liquid crystal thermography (LCT) to perform simultaneous velocity-temperature measurements to determine the heat fluxes.

Requirements

For both positions we are looking for a candidate with

• an MSc degree in (applied) physics, or mechanical, aeronautical, civil or chemical engineering,
• a solid background in fluid dynamics and turbulence,
• an excellent knowledge of written and spoken English, and
• a top 20% ranking during his/her BSc and MSc.

The candidate for the computational project should have a strong interest and some experience in Computational Fluid Dynamics, as well as good skills in the use of computer systems and computer programming.
The candidate for the experimental project should have experience in experimental laboratory research, preferably with lasers and optical techniques (e.g., LDA or PIV). .

Conditions of employment

The successful candidate will be employed full-time by TU Delft for a fixed period of four years within which he or she is expected to write a dissertation leading to a doctoral degree (PhD thesis). The starting salary for a PhD is €2042 gross per month increasing to a maximum of €2612 gross per month in the fourth year.
TU Delft offers an attractive benefits package, including a flexible work week, free high-speed Internet access from home, and the option of assembling a customized compensation and benefits package. Salary and benefits are in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities. Delft University of Technology strives to increase the number of women in higher academic positions; women are therefore especially encouraged to apply.

The successful applicant will lead the development and application of leading-edge reservoir modelling and flow simulation techniques to characterise and quantify the reservoir properties and fluid flow dynamics of these low permeability reservoirs. Detailed three-dimensional models of each reservoir type will be reconstructed directly from high resolution data obtained from Eocene rocks in the Western Desert of Egypt, and Mesozoic reservoirs in NW Borneo. The models will be analysed and characterised using a range of mathematical and numerical techniques, including streamline and conventional multiphase flow simulation, geostatistical methods, and percolation theory.

Applicants should be educated to PhD level (or equivalent) and have a background in numerate earth science, geophysics, physics, mathematics, engineering, computer science or equivalent. Experience in one or more of the following areas is desirable but not essential: reservoir modelling, reservoir engineering, reservoir simulation, computational fluid dynamics and/or numerical modelling of multi-phase flow in porous media. You will join a dynamic, close-knit, interdisciplinary research team working on a challenging project to generate new technology for improved oil and gas recovery. Your research will also contribute to the Department's ongoing commitment to deliver advanced modelling capabilities for petroleum reservoir evaluation. The successful applicant will be encouraged to develop their research career over a longer timescale within this framework and to liaise closely with our industry sponsors.

Phd Studentship in Reservoir Engineering

There is currently a vacancy for one PhD student to work within the industry-sponsored Edinburgh Time-Lapse Project based at the Heriot-Watt Institute of Petroleum Engineering in the UK. This consortium is now in its fourth three-year phase, which continues our research effort into the development of new techniques and understanding for the quantitative interpretation of 4D seismic data via integration with reservoir engineering principles. Details of our activities can be found on the project website www.pet.hw.ac.uk/research/etlp

Description of the project

Your research will investigate the possibility of using 4D seismic data acquired over short intervals to provide a simple fluid flow simulation for the purposes of short term forecasting of reservoir performance. It builds on past work by the group on the topics of pressure-saturation extraction, permeability estimation, and barrier identification from 4D seismic. Application to observed seismic and reservoir data donated by sponsoring companies will be an essential element of this research.

Qualifications*

You will require an excellent undergraduate degree and preferably a First Degree and/or Masters in Reservoir Engineering, Physics or Applied Mathematics. You should be self-motivated, enthusiastic and possess good written and oral communication skills. A solid underlying knowledge of reservoir engineering, particularly reservoir simulation, combined with some understanding of seismic will be required.

Oil and Gas vacancy Norway PhD vacancy

2 PhD. Research fellowships
Primary migration and multiphase flow in very low permeability rocks

The Center of Excellence for the Physics of Geological Processes (PGP) at the University of Oslo is seeking two Ph.D. candidates to investigate the formation and migration of hydrocarbon fluids in source rocks, and their injection into secondary migration pathways. The goal is to better understand the complex coupling between hydrocarbon generation, pore pressure build-up, fracturing and fluid migration in source rocks, and escape of the fluids towards the reservoir.

Computational fellowship

The Ph.D. project will involve the application of discrete element methods, particle methods (dissipative particle dynamics and smoothed particle hydrodynamics) and continuum methods to simulate source rock maturation. The project will require code development based on existing code, and experience with high performance computing would be a distinct asset. The fellow will be expected to travel occasionally to Idaho National Laboratory (INL) to work with professor Paul Meakin.

For further information, contact: Professor Anders Malthe-Sørenssen, malthe@fys.uio.no

Experimental fellowship

The Ph.D. project involves development of new laboratory experiments to investigate source rock maturation, quantitative characterization of experimental and field samples using high resolution X-ray tomography and more standard microscopy techniques, and some numerical work to analyze experimental data. The fellow will be expected to travel occasionally to Grenoble to perform experiments at ESRF and to work with professor Francois Renard.

For further information please contact: Professor Dag K. Dysthe, dagkd@fys.uio.no

For further information visit our web site: www.fys.uio.no/pgp and follow the links to the formal announcements.

The successful candidates, who already have Masters degrees in physics, geoscience, material science, applied mathematics or equivalent education, will work in a lively cross-disciplinary and international environment (fourteen nationalities are currently represented in PGP). PGP is a new cross-disciplinary science centre at the interface between physics and geology where geological processes are approached by integrated field, experimental, theoretical, and computer modeling studies. The two successful candidates will be enrolled in the Ph.D. program at the Department of Physics at the University of Oslo and they will work closely together.
