MCERI Research Group has immediate openings for Postdoctoral Candidates

Date posted: Oct 9, 2018

MCERI Group was recently Awarded $1.2 MM from the U.S. Department of Energy. The goal of this project is to develop and demonstrate a rapid and cost-effective methodology for spatio-temporal tracking of CO₂ plumes during geologic sequestration using joint tomographic inversion of seismic data and distributed pressure and temperature measurements. Key elements of our methodology are: (a) a computationally efficient approach to pressure and temperature propagation calculations using the Fast Marching Method (FMM), (b) analysis of time lapse seismic data using a novel ‘seismic onset time’ approach to detect fluid front propagation , (c) data assimilation and uncertainty assessment via joint Bayesian inversion of pressure, temperature and time lapse seismic data, and (d) field validation of the methodology using data collected from ongoing field projects involving CO₂ utilization for enhanced oil recovery and frequent time lapse seismic monitoring. The project team is led by Texas A&M University and includes Battelle as a subcontractor with support from Shell, Anadarko, Chevron and JX Nippon.
