The Department of Petroleum Engineering and Applied Geophysics (IPT) at the Faculty of Engineering Science and Technology, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) announces the following vacant Professorship/Associate Professorship in Petroleum Cybernetics. The department currently has 30 professorships (including 15 adjunct professors), 10 associate professors (including 5 adjunct associate professors) and about 60 postdocs and PhD research fellows.

 

The department covers the specialization disciplines of applied geophysics, drilling technology, production technology and reservoir engineering.

 

The present position is within petroleum cybernetics. Petroleum cybernetics in this context is defined as modelling, simulation, estimation, monitoring, optimization, automation and control of systems and processes within the petroleum specialization disciplines. The department is searching for an outstanding researcher with strong commitment to teaching excellence. The professor/associate professor has special responsibility for teaching and research in the field of petroleum cybernetics.

 

Minimum required background:

• Basic petroleum skills in reservoir or production or drilling

• Dynamic systems theory, mathematical modelling and simulation, state and parameter estimation and monitoring, dynamic simulation

• Basic feedback control (PID) and optimization

• Signal processing

 

Documentation of the following background will be highly valued:

• Model based control, e.g. nonlinear control or MPC

• Analysis/application of field data

• Field experience

• Industrial network (references)

• Industrial information and communication technology

• A combination of academic and industrial experience within oil and gas

 

The candidate must have background in at least one (1) of the following areas:

• Drilling automation: e.g. Managed Pressure Drilling, well control, robotics, automated control of drilling parameters

• Reservoir management and optimization: e.g. field optimization using rate controls, well placement optimization, data assimilation algorithms for reservoir models, Ensemble Kalman Filtering for reservoir model updates

• Production control and optimization: e.g. slug control, process control (pressure, flow, temperature, level), choke control for injectors/producers, model-based optimization of production systems, data assimilation algorithms for production models, virtual metering

 

The position will include teaching both undergraduate and graduate courses, development of laboratory activities, advising students, engaging in academic and scholarly activities. This includes researching and externally founded projects, supervising Master's and PhD student's research, and providing service to the campus and community.

 

The successful applicant must document extensive disciplinary qualifications in important fields within the discipline. Weight will be placed on the ability to supervise and initiat
