Job overview
The Postdoctoral Fellow will investigate CO2 mobility and subsurface transport in nanoporous rocks. The work combines core transport experiments, geomechanical evaluation, and compositional reservoir simulation, with laboratory-derived measurements informing production forecasts and field-scale pilot planning. The fellow will also collaborate with the lab formulation team to translate fluid-interface mechanics into numerical transport constraints.

Full job description
Core Transport Experiments: Operate and modify advanced gas expansion/liquid transient flow systems to measure CO2 (gas and supercritical phase) mobility, effective permeability, molecular diffusion, and adsorption.Geomechanical and Stress Evaluation: Quantify rock-fluid interactions and transport degradation under dynamic net confining stress environments to evaluate reservoir stress-sensitivity.Compositional Reservoir Simulation: Upscale laboratory-derived petrophysical, diffusion, relative permeability, and stress-dependent parameters into compositional reservoir models to perform robust sensitivity and production forecast studies.Strategic Integration: Work closely with the lab formulation team to translate fluid-interface mechanics into numerical transport constraints, preparing technical frameworks for upcoming field-scale pilot deployments.
