Job overview
The Postdoctoral Fellow will conduct experimental research on enhanced oil recovery (EOR) in nanoporous shale rocks. The work evaluates CO2, gas, and chemical EOR performance through high-pressure, high-temperature and microscale experiments, characterizes rock-fluid interfaces and complex suspensions, and develops multi-component injectants. The fellow will also document workflows, publish findings, present technical results, and collaborate with numerical modeling colleagues to upscale laboratory findings.

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.
