The Enhanced Oil Recovery Institute (EORI) at the University of Wyoming invites applications for a senior research scientist to work in technical development.
Position # 4970

Carbonate rocks form the second-most productive reservoirs within the State of Wyoming, and contribute to the internal architecture of the most productive eolian reservoirs state-wide. As such, the Enhanced Oil Recovery Institute at the University of Wyoming is looking to hire a carbonate geologist to work in a team environment with geologists and engineers to study subsurface issues with Wyoming reservoirs, as well as carry out individual research of value to the overall mission of the Institute.

Education: MS and 10+ years or PhD and 5+ years experience in carbonate reservoir studies or equivalent technical field.

Knowledge of: All types of carbonate depositional environments, with extensive experience of both outcrop- and subsurface-based analysis and interpretation of carbonate reservoirs and reservoir rocks.

Expected duties: Reservoir analyses based on wire-line log, core, thin-section, and seismic data, and outcrop-based studies in order to gain better knowledge of internal reservoir architectures. The candidate must have the ability to work in both a unified team environment and solo on individual research projects.

Additional skills: Experience of reservoir modeling using industry-standard software such as Petrel, RMS, GoCad, etc, experience with lidar acquisition and interpretation as a tool for outcrop research, and knowledge of clastic reservoirs systems.

Application materials required: University of Wyoming application http://uwadmnweb.uwyo.edu/hr/hrformspage.asp, resume, and contact information for three work related references
