PhD Scholarships in Fault Damage and Petrophysics in Carbonate Reservoirs,UK
Job Description: Carbonate hydrocarbon reservoirs are highly heterogeneous in their internal fabric and structure, mainly due to the variety of depositional and diagenetic processes that affect these rocks. This intrinsic heterogeneity presents major challenges when characterising the physical properties of a reservoir, either from reflection seismic or well log data. An additional factor in many regions is due to the effects of fractures; variations in fracture patterns around faults provide an extra source of heterogeneity in fractured carbonate reservoirs. This project will quantify the key petrophysical properties of faulted carbonate reservoirs, in particular the porosity and seismic velocities. This is a fully-funded Joint Industry Project with Total and BG Group as project partners, brokered by the Industry Technology Facilitator (ITF).
The students will be trained in: detailed field mapping and sampling of carbonate-hosted faults, with at least two European field sites; laboratory microstructural and microchemical analysis of carbonates, including optical and electron microscopy, image analysis, and the interpretation of stable isotope and fluid inclusion data; carbonate reservoir geology and petrophysics. Frequent meetings with the industry partners are integral to this project. Generic skills training will be provided through the University of Aberdeen SkillsForge. Upon completion, the students will be very well placed for a career in industry or academia.
The School of Geosciences at the University of Aberdeen has a sustained, international track record in applied geoscience and engineering research, and provides a centre for knowledge exchange with the local Energy industry. The School is expanding and has world class researchers in Structural Geology and Tectonics, Sedimentology, Petroleum Geology and Geophysics. The University of Aberdeen is investing heavily in the future, with a new state-of-the-art Sports Centre opened in 2009, and a new £57m library scheduled to open in 2011.Other supervisors on this project are Dr Ian Alsop and Dr Joyce Neilson, both based in Geology at Aberdeen.
