South Kensington, United Kingdom Imperial College London Full time

Applications are invited for two Research Associates to investigate pore-to-core characterisation and digital rock modelling to improve the numerical modelling of the flow carbon dioxide flow through saline aquifers for carbon storage underground. The aim is to demonstrate the impact of upscaling CO2 flow in reservoirs, accounting for small scale heterogeneities, on case study storage sites of relevance to Shell. These tools will to be used by engineers to estimate the volume and security of CO2 trapped during geological sequestration to mitigate climate change. The RA will be working on actual CO2 storage projects and a significant focus of this work is deployment. This represents a unique opportunity for high impact research that is also being directly used by industry.

The research will be carried out under the Shell funded Digital Rocks Phase 2 project and will be a part of £12M EPSRC Prosperity Partnership programme “InFUSE”. The RA will join a highly collaborative and multidisciplinary team, which includes PhD students and postdocs associated with this new project as well as three existing Shell-Imperial College London programmes: the Digital Rock Programme, the University Technology Centre for Fuels and Lubricants, and the Centre for Advanced Interfacial Materials Science (including Energy Storage).

**Duties and responsibilities**:
Research Duties:

- Evaluate numerical modelling techniques suitable for characterising multiphase flow heterogeneity in rocks from core flood experiments.
- Implement and test upscaling techniques in commercial reservoir simulation including OpenGoSim-PFlotran and CMG
- Evaluate the impact of heterogeneities on field scale deployment of CO2 storage at case study sites
- Participate in annual meetings with project partners, including Shell and the wider InFuse programme

Other Duties:

- To undertake appropriate administration tasks
- To attend relevant meetings
- To undertake and necessary training and/or development

Where Imperial or funder conditions necessitate, you will be required to complete timesheets for your work on projects in a timely manner.

**Essential requirements**:
**Further information**:
You will be working in the internationally leading Subsurface CO2 Research Group in the Department of Earth Science and Engineering at Imperial College London. We are a friendly and nurturing department that combines teaching and research in Earth Sciences with related Engineering disciplines. The topics we are interested in reach from blue sky Earth Science (e.g. Earth interior, surface, and its place within the solar system), to integration with related subsurface energy, environmental, mining and minerals Engineering. Overall we employ ~50 academic staff members, ~70 postdoctoral research scientists, ~170 PhD students, ~145 MSc students, and ~300 undergraduate students.
