[beasiswa] (INFO) PhD Studentship Automatic Optimization of Oil and Gas Production using Intelligent Well & Field Technology

The Intelligent Well systems Technology groupis looking for one or more PhD students to work in the area of automatic optimization of upstream oil and gas processes. The studentship is available to UK/EU/Overseas candidates. It includes fees and an appropriate tax exempt stipend. The Institute is committed to equality of opportunity.
The successful candidate will be involved in development of software tools for optimising the operation of downhole equipment. This will be done through assessing efficiency of various optimization algorithms with respect to problem of optimal settings for interval control valves and fine tuning of the best algorithms. The group is funded by a number of Upstream Oil Industry operating and service companies. They evaluate the progress of the work via regular meetings held in Edinburgh at four monthly intervals.
Applicants will typically already be in possession of a MSc. degree in Mathematics or Physics with an outstanding academic or research record. Familiarity with the MATLAB and/or Simulink computing environments, knowledge of Artificial Intelligence will be an advantage, as will be previous practical experience in the optimization of industrial processes e.g. Refinery Process Optimisation. A Petroleum Engineering background will also be useful, but is not essential since suitable training course can be provided as required.
Applicants will typically already be in possession of a MSc. degree in Petroleum Engineering or have obtained extensive experience in reservoir engineering and simulation, well construction, completion and production. Consideration will also be given to applicants with alternative experience. Suitable Petroleum Engineering training course can be provided as required.
