PhD position in Computational Geoscience available at CERE - DTU Informatics, Denmark - Department of Informatics and Mathematical Modelling and the Centre for Energy Resources Engineering, Technical University of Denmark, have the opportunity to support a 3-year PhD project entitled: "Numerical modeling of geothermal reservoirs with geophysical data, geostatistical and flow"
Heat Storage in the framework of the project in aquifers Hot (Heho), supported by the Danish Council for Strategic Research. PhD project will be conducted as a collaboration between cere - DTU Informatics, CERE - DTU Civil Engineering, Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (Geus), and ETH Zürich.
The project is financed by the Danish Strategic Research Council and the DTU Informatics. Preferred start date is 1. In February 2012.
Description of a wider project
In this project we will develop new technologies to improve the planning of energy storage in geothermal reservoir via a high-quality experimental and modeling. Geothermal reservoir has a high temperature, so that energy can be stored in geological layers with minimal heat loss. This technology will be based on a multidisciplinary approach that combines small-scale geochemistry / rock physics with large-scale seismic inversion and history matching production data. The focus will be on the geothermal reservoir Denmark, because of heat storage may be a missing link in the planning of sustainable energy production in Denmark, where some sources of energy must be mutual. Energy sources as burning of garbage and the wind is not controlled by immediate energy needs. By saving energy at low heat loss in hot aquifers we obtain an effective interaction between different energy sources, so the level of coverage with sustainable energy can improve the cost acceptable.
Questions with respect to establishing close heat storage in geothermal reservoirs is how the reservoir will react to the introduction of water with a temperature higher than nature: How to reservoir rocks react chemically and mechanically, how to distribute the heat and fluid in the reservoir, what energy loss associated with the method storage?
The goal of the PhD project specific
The aim of the PhD project is to develop mathematical and numerical methods to analyze the new geophysical data and well production data with the aim of investigating the flow, heat transport and heat conduction in geothermal reservoirs. Structure and properties of geothermal reservoir can be investigated by using two different methods:? Seismic inversion methods first is, where the seismic waves generated by explosions near-surface or in drill holes, and re ected from the geological structure in the reservoir, are analyzed? . From this data, the structure and mechanical / elastic properties of the reservoir can be calculated. The second method is where the history matching the pressure measurement, water production and water temperature in the wells used to calculate the permeability, porosity and heat conduction in the reservoir rock. The PhD student will be involved in seismic waveform inversion, flow simulation, thermodynamic and inversion data, with special emphasis on the development of theory, numerical mathematics and physical adaptations required for this method to the analysis of geothermal data.
