We seek a Mendenhall Postdoctoral Fellow who will develop advanced approaches for modeling and/or monitoring the processes associated with exchanging fluids and gases in subsurface geologic systems. The successful applicant will have broad latitude to focus on production from gas hydrate and other hydrocarbon sources, gas injection, fluid production, or multiple of these areas. We will provide a computing environment that includes leading numerical reservoir modeling software options including the TOUGH+HYDRATE and STOMP-HYDT-KE codes, along with the E3D elastic wave propagation system, and the USGS’ world-class high-performance computing systems . Further, we can provide field data from current cutting edge research programs such as the ongoing Alaska Gas Hydrate production test that provides a wealth of characterization and monitoring data including surface 3D seismic data, four research boreholes with extensive log data, fiber optic distributed acoustic...
