PhD scholarship: Thermodynamics of Petroleum Fluids relevant to Subsea Processing
Technical University of Denmark, Denmark
Deadline: 15 October 2015

Project Target
The purpose of this project is to extend the measurement and CPA modeling work for petroleum fluids of relevance to subsea processing which include (precise list to be decided later in collaboration with Statoil): gas (incl. CO2 and H2S in some cases) – water – reservoir fluids + chemicals (MEG, DEG, TEG). In some cases the effect of salts (brine) is also of relevance.

Project Framework
The project involves a PhD student employed at DTU funded by Statoil (in the framework of the CHIGP project) for the period 2015-2018 (December 2015 – November 2018).
Experimental measurements on well-defined systems e.g. glycol-hydrocarbons and modeling / simulation will be mostly carried out at DTU. Experimental measurements for reservoir fluids will, to the extent possible, be carried out at Statoil’s R&D Center (Trondheim).

Qualifications
Candidates should have a master's degree in chemical engineering or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to the master's degree in engineering. There will be a focus on your experience within thermodynamic modeling, your experimental background, programming plus your experience with process simulation.

Further information may be obtained from Associate Nicolas von Solms, tel.: +45 4525 2867.
