Job description
This is an exciting opportunity for an ambitious CCUS Engineer to fast-track their career development as a Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) Associate, utilising skills in fluid flow, geochemical reactions, and geomechanical failure at pore scale with a specific focus on complex multiphysics modelling. As a CCUS Engineer, your responsibility will be to develop novel frameworks and models for assessing the risk of corrosion and CO2 leakage during injection and storage of CO2 in abandoned legacy wells.
PURPOSE OF POST: To take the lead role in developing a software tool for evaluating well integrity and CO2 leakage risks of CCUS projects to enable long-term storage of CO2 in abandoned legacy wells.
PRINCIPAL DUTIES:
• Deliver the project objectives as detailed in the KTP project
workplan.
• Take a leading role in identifying, assessing and addressing project
risks and challenges on an ongoing basis to ensure successful completion of
the project
• Collaborate with the supervisory teams in the University and company
partners to write and publish technical papers based on the project
outcomes
• Maintain an up-to-date project plan and provide regular progress
reports.
• Organise project technical and progress meetings
• Deliver presentations to immediate project team members and other
stakeholders.
• Contribute to the enhancement of the University research profile
through publications, collaborations and community engagement
Project description
To develop novel frameworks and models for assessing the risk of
corrosion and CO2 leakage during injection and storage of CO2 in abandoned
legacy wells.
A multi-physics modeling approach will be employed, that accounts for
geology, geochemistry, geomechanics and fluid flow, calibrated and
validated with laboratory experimental investigation.
About the business
