Other Academic
Job Description:
Overview:
This industrial and DOE-funded position will perform research and technical services on carbon dioxide (CO2) and related storage in the subsurface environment. Duties are to perform analytical and numerical modeling to study the processes and to perform subsurface reservoir characterization utilizing well logs, geologic models and seismic data. The successful candidate will have experience with some combination of characterization and modeling tools such as Petrel, ArcGIS, CMG tools (IMEX, GEM and/or STARS) or equivalent tools from other vendors. The successful candidate will also have a track record of publications with good communication skills.
Job duties for all Research Assoc ranks:
-Develop numerical and/or analytic models, evaluate leakage risk factors and develop risk assessment evaluations for natural gas, carbon and hydrogen storage in the subsurface on- and off-shore Louisiana.
-Evaluate or develop monitoring plans to mitigate the evaluated risk factors for subsurface storage.
-Prepare and develop surveys and graphics for public outreach related to subsurface storage.
-Prepare and submit conference and journal manuscripts of the work in a timely fashion. Present project results to internal and external parties.
