Postdoctoral / Reservoir Engineer position: THM-coupled reservoir modeling

vor 2 Wochen


Zürich, Schweiz Geothermal Energy and Geofluids Group Vollzeit
Job Description

We invite applicants with a background in compositional reservoir modeling of THM-coupled processes. The goal of this position is to develop detailed THM-coupled numerical models, be it for efficient field development strategies or improving monitoring technologies, by quantifying the relationships between THM-coupled responses and measurable variations in geophysical quantities (e.g. seismic velocity, gravity). Leveraging your expertise and modeling insights, your innovative thinking extends the state-of-the-art of geothermal energy production and CO2 / H2 storage technologies.

Profile

We seek a highly motivated and self-organized individual with a PhD or equivalent industry experience in the topic of Geoscience, Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or a related technical field, with a proven track record in modeling THM-coupled processes. Successful candidates will have:

  1. Theoretical and practical knowledge of 3D reservoir simulations on multiphase non-isothermal and mechanical processes, ideally in the domain of CCS, geothermal energy or petroleum engineering
  2. Proficiency in reservoir simulation tools (commercial e.g. CMG GEM or open source such as OPM, MOOSE or equivalent)
  3. Exposure to field piloting, surveillance planning and/or field development planning is a plus
  4. Experience working in multi-disciplinary teams, with exposure to geology, geomechanics, petrophysics, geophysics, production chemistry, production technology, well engineering, process engineering and economics
  5. Understanding of methodologies to assess and quantify subsurface uncertainty
  6. Experience in data analytics and visualization (e.g., Python or equivalent)
  7. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
  8. Self-motivated team player with strong interpersonal skills, capable of working in an inclusive, multicultural environment
  9. Knowledge of seismic velocity and gravity surveying is a plus
  10. Any experience or interest in performing flow-through experiments is advantageous
  11. Fluency in English is required
Workplace

We offer a dynamic and exciting work environment with cutting-edge computational infrastructure. The GEG Group values an open and inclusive group culture. The position is at 80-% FTE if fulfilled as a technical position, or % for a postdoctoral position, with a competitive salary according to ETH Zurich standards. The position is for one year with the potential for annual extensions based on project needs and employee performance. The position start date is 1st of September or later upon agreement.
