CO2 Mobility & Subsurface Transport Scientist

The University of Texas at Austin; United States; Sur place; USD 72 000 - 76 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

The University of Texas at Austin invites applications for RESA III - CO2 Mobility and Subsurface Transport, a one-year fixed-term position at the Pickle Research Campus. The successful candidate will join a tight-knit BEG team pursuing innovative experimental and modeling work bridging lab and field scales.

Primary duties include quantifying transport dynamics in shale matrices, combining lab measurements with numerical modeling, and publishing high‑impact science while collaborating with

Qualifications

• MS in Petrophysics, Petroleum Engineering, Geomechanics, Chemical Engineering, Geosciences, or related field with at least 2 years of experience.
• Proven experimental expertise in high‑pressure core experiments and petrophysical measurements.
• Deep understanding of fluid transport mechanisms in tight/unconventional formations.
• Strong data analysis, scripting, or laboratory automation skills (Python, MATLAB, LabVIEW).
• Relevant education and experience may be substituted as appropriate.

Responsabilités

• Core Transport Experiments: operate and modify gas expansion and diffusion systems to measure CO2 mobility and permeability.
• Geomechanical & Stress Evaluation: quantify rock‑fluid interactions under dynamic stress to assess reservoir stress sensitivity.
• Compositional Reservoir Simulation: upscale lab parameters into models for sensitivity and forecast studies.
• Strategic Integration: translate fluid‑interface mechanics into numerical constraints for field deployments.
