About the position

The work will be part of the project: Tophole monitoring of permanently plugged wells (TOPHOLE). This project is a spin-off of the Norwegian CCS research center (NCCS). It is coordinated by the geophysics team at SINTEF Industry and is supported by The Norwegian Research Council (through the Petromaks 2 call), and the industry partners of the NCCS research center. Research partners are SINTEF Industry, SINTEF Digital, NTNU, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and Aker Solutions. A 3-months stay of the PhD candidate at Aker Solutions offices at Lysaker is planned. The primary objective of the project is to develop a novel cost-efficient method for tophole/non-invasive monitoring of permanently plugged wells that are cut below surface/seafloor. Combination of laboratory measurement, advanced geophysical modelling and inversion (seismic, EM and potentially other approaches) will be tested and implemented. The PhD project will be strongly involved with the other researchers working in the project.

The position reports to Head of the department.

Main duties and responsibilities

• The aim of the PhD project is to develop and apply new methods to monitor well integrity using geophysical methods.
• The project requires development of new and efficient approaches to numerical modelling of seismic/EM wave propagation and solution of non-linear inverse problems.
• Data analytics and Artificial Intelligence approaches will also be considered.
