This is an exciting opportunity for an ambitious CCUS Engineer to fast-track their career development as a Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) Associate, utilising skills in fluid flow, geochemical reactions, and geomechanical failure at pore scale with a specific focus on complex multi-physics modelling. The successful candidate will undertake a 36-month collaborative project between North Sea Well Engineering Limited (Norwell) https://www.norwellengineering.com/ and Robert Gordon University (School of Computing, Engineering and Technology), jointly funded by Innovate UK and Norwell. The post will be based at the company's offices in Westhill, Aberdeenshire. As a CCUS Engineer, your responsibility will be to develop novel frameworks and models for assessing the risk of corrosion and CO2 leakage during injection and storage of CO2 in abandoned legacy wells. A multi-physics modelling approach will be employed, that accounts for geology, geochemistry, geomechanics and fluid
flow, validated with experimental laboratory investigations. To further inform this multi-physics approach, the candidate will employ ab initio quantum chemistry and molecular dynamics methods using software on a dedicated cluster or supercomputer.
Norwell Engineering is part of the Elemental Energies group, a global well engineering and subsurface consultancy. Norwell provides cutting edge solutions to complex CCUS problems and geothermal energy developments, well engineering challenges associated with decommissioning and general well engineering services.
You will receive extensive practical and formal training, gain marketable skills, broaden their knowledge and expertise within an industrially relevant project, and gain valuable experience from industrial and academic mentors. The KTP Associate will also benefit from a Personal Development Budget of £6,000.
