Job overview

The role conducts advanced EOR experiments in nanoporous shale rocks, evaluating CO2, gas, and chemical recovery performance. It characterizes rock wettability, interfacial tension, and surfactant-nanoparticle suspensions, while developing and optimizing multi-component injectants and foam systems. The work also includes documenting workflows, publishing research, presenting technical findings, and collaborating with numerical modeling teams to upscale laboratory results.

Full job description

Experimental Execution: Design and conduct advanced high-pressure, high-temperature (HPHT) injection, and microscale huff-and-puff experiments to evaluate CO2, gas, and chemical EOR performance.Interface and Fluid Characterization: Quantify rock wettability and alterations, interfacial tension (IFT), and the aqueous stability/rheology of complex surfactant-nanoparticle suspensions.Advanced EOR Development: Formulate, test, and optimize multi-component injectants, including CO2-co-solvent blends, surfactant co-injections, and foam systems for mobility and conformance control.Collaboration and Documentation: Document experimental workflows, author high-impact peer-reviewed publications, deliver technical presentations, and collaborate closely with numerical modeling team members to upscale laboratory findings.
