Postdoctoral Research Fellow - Modeling Naturally Fractured Reservoirs using Finite-Element-based Methods
Modeling naturally fractured reservoirs is re-gaining interest in the Oil & Gas industry and academia for application in carbonate fractured reservoirs and unconventional reservoirs where natural fractures can play a key role on production performance. One of the persisting challenges is to create complex 3D fracture networks and solve multiphase flow efficiently. None of the existing tools can integrate complex flow on Discrete Fracture Networks (DFN). The objective of this project is to develop a tool to generate DFN models amenable for multiphase flow, and scale up the model to be usable with conventional simulators. Finite element-based methods such as Mixed-Finite-Element or Control-Volume methods are convenient thanks to their suitability for complex unstructured grids.
Applications are sought for a two-year postdoc position. The position will include a competitive salary based on the candidate’s qualifications; benefits include medical and dental insurance, free furnished housing on the KAUST campus, annual travel allowance to visit home country, annual paid vacation, and other generous benefits. The successful applicant will become a part of the Ali I. Al-Naimi Petroleum Engineering Research Center (ANPERC) at KAUST.
