7. Fully Funded PhD Position in ML-assisted seismic inversion and geomechanical modelling of CO2 storage
Summary of PhD Program:
The Section of Applied Basin Analysis at the Department of Geosciences, University of Oslo (UiO) seeks a highly motivated candidate for a PhD research fellowship aimed at de-risking CO2 storage sites in the offshore North Sea. The PhD research project targets quantitative interpretation and geomechanical modling by integrating seismic, well log, lab and literature data to de-risk the CO2 storage sites in the offshore Norway. The research outcomes would better understand geological heterogeneity of reservoir, seal and overburden rocks that challenges seal integrity, fluid injectivity, storage performance, plume evolution, and pressure-build ups of multi-site storage licenses. Moreover, the research will help to suggest the best practice to integrate machine learning to de-risk CO2 storage sites.
