PhD position: Reducing Impact of CO2 Hydrates on Injectivity Decline

1 maand geleden

Delft, Nederland TU Delft Voltijd
Job description

The main goal of the research is to quantify the impact of hydrate formation on injectivity of CO2 injection well and to develop chemical-based solutions to either inhibit the formation of hydrates (preventive methods) or to remediate the injectivity once formation of the hydrate led to injectivity decline (mitigation methods). The focus is at testing the identified potential mitigation and prevention solutions including injection of chemicals to dissociate already-formed CO2 hydrates. The experimental program will be conducted in close collaboration between TU Delft and JIP scientists to align the experiments and research objectives of JIP participants.

Requirements

An Master's degree in e.g. geoscience, chemical, petroleum or mechanical engineering with a following skills:

  • Strong lab work experience
  • Modeling skills
  • Data processing ability
  • Good command of English language
  • Team player

Doing a PhD at TU Delft requires English proficiency at a certain level to ensure that the candidate is able to communicate and interact well, participate in English-taught Doctoral Education courses, and write scientific articles and a final thesis. For more details please check the .

Conditions of employment
