The Department of Engineering, Aarhus University, invites applications for a postdoc position offering applicants an exciting opportunity to join a new research project on innovative material solutions for oil well abandonment.
Starting Date and Period
The position is for 1 year as a primary contract and is available from 1 May 2021 or as soon as possible thereafter.
Job description/project description
In oil and gas industry, scale deposition in pipelines not only poses many serious threats in field production during the well lifetime but also in the abandonment phase when the well reaches the lifetime. Handling the huge amounts of scale is a cumbersome challenge for the industry.
This project focuses on finding innovative and effective solutions to use scale as a barrier material for well abandonment. A primary concept in consideration is to strengthen existing scale formed in the production pipes, which can then be used as part of the barriers in the abandonment. The initial emphasis in the study will be laid on the mechanical properties and permeability of the strengthened scale composite.
The successful candidate will join an ambitious international research team. As a Postdoc, you are expected to autonomously carry out research work assigned by the responsible PI. You co-supervise students (PhD, MSc and BSc) in their projects. You expand your research portfolio, and you represent our research group through publications and presentations at international conferences. You may also contribute to teaching activities.
Your profile
The place of work is Inge Lehmanns Gade 10 (Navitas), 8000 Aarhus, and the area of employment is the Department of Engineering, Aarhus University.
