The positions are funded by the Danish National Advanced Technology Foundation under the project \u201cNew Extreme Oil and Gas in the Danish North Sea \/ NextOil DK\u201d. In this project, DTU CERE will collaborate closely with the Danish Geotechnical Institute (GEO), Maersk Oil and Gas, and DONG Energy to study issues related to high pressure and high temperature (HP\/HT) petroleum reservoirs which are an abundant hydrocarbon resource but risky to develop.<\/p>\n

\nThe applicants should have a master’s degree preferentially in chemical engineering, chemistry, or petroleum engineering, or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to the master’s degree. Besides, the following qualifications are required for PhD positions 1 and 2, respectively:<\/p>\n
\nThe applicant is expected to have good knowledge of applied thermodynamics, competences in development of mathematic models, and skills in programming. The applicant may also be involved in some experimental measurements with a Postdoc under WP2. Willingness to do high pressure experiments and experiences in experimental work will be an additional advantage.<\/p>\n
\nThe applicant will be responsible for designing and requesting experimental equipment for measurement of crystallization and precipitation during in-situ oil production. A key parameter to be investigated is the Joule-Thomson coefficient. Knowledge of autoclaves and possible DSC are key skills to master. High pressure will be used; understanding of the difficulties working at these conditions is a must. The applicant should have a background in applied electrolytic thermodynamic modeling, preferably activity coefficients models.<\/p>\n
\nThe scholarships for the PhD degree are subject to academic approval, and the candidates will be enrolled in one of the general degree programmes of DTU. For information about the general requirements for enrolment and the general planning of the scholarship studies, please see the\u00a0DTU PhD Guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n
