A postdoctoral research associate in carbon storage has been advertised in the School of Civil Engineering, Faculty of Engineering and IT at the University of Sydney. The official advertisement by The University of Sydney can be found via https://goo.gl/wqsvLl
The Postdoctoral Research Associate will undertake a project funded by the Australian Research Council on CO2 storage, named “Assessing reservoir performance for carbon storage in saline aquifers.” The Chief Investigators include A/Professor Luming Shen, Dr Federico Maggi, Dr Yixiang Gan, Professor Abbas El-Zein, Dr Zhejun Pan.
The project aims at developing and testing a modelling framework to assess the injectivity, storage capacity, and containment of supercritical CO2 injected in deep saline aquifers.The project broadly covers multiphase flow in porous/fractured geological materials, and emphasizes physical, hydraulic, and geomechanical processes at multiple spatial and temporal scales. The project is expected to provide a validated computational framework that can be used by stakeholders to improve analysis and assessment of reservoir performance under various scenarios of CO2 injection operations and boundary environmental conditions. This opening is fundamentally based on the development of advanced computational frameworks but it is part of a greater effort that also involves in-situ data collection and experimental laboratory tests conducted by other participants to this project. The project is led by A/Prof Luming Shen in the School of Civil Engineering at the University of Sydney, and involves the collaboration of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) in Australia.
