Overview
fully funded PhD studentship is available for UK students only. The studentship includes the tuition fee as well as a tax-free maintenance stipend of £13,290 for the 09/10 academic year; this will increase according to EPSRC national stipend requirements for the 3 year duration of studentship.
The Process Systems Engineering Group is a small vibrant multidisciplinary team. The MSc in Process Systems Engineering is a very successful course attracting delegates from across the EU and overseas. We also have a very strong research activity with funding from major energy companies and government organisations.
With the decline of conventional oil reserves, energy companies have been diverting their attention to exploit unconventional oil. About 40% of the world’s known oil resource is heavy and extra heavy oil. Heavy oil has a density of >900kg/m3 and viscosity above 5000cP (treacle like). Current published work on multiphase flows is limited to oil with viscosity below 50cP. It is known that oil density and viscosity have dramatic effects on flow behaviour and current prediction models are grossly inadequate. To enable energy efficient extraction with minimal environmental impact, in depth understanding of three phase (oil, water and gas) flow characteristics of heavy oil is urgently required.
Such knowledge will enable the development of
a. efficient enhance transport technology to minimise energy use and environmental impact and
b. in situ metering technology for facilitate production optimisation and fiscal purposes
This studentship is made possible with the support of Neftemer Ltd, a small company specialises in developing multiphase metering technology for the oil and gas industry. The student will be part of a very active research team currently has 3 research fellows and 8 PhD students working in related areas.
Eligible candidates
Applicants for the post must have an upper second-class degree in engineering or related discipline. A good knowledge in fluid flow is essential. Experience in instrumentation and computer programming would be a distinctive advantage. Enquires should be address to Dr. Hoi Yeung.
