As part of their goal of collaboration with their academic partners, the Danish Hydrocarbon Research and Technology Centre (DHRTC) recently launched a so-called SPRINT project initiative.
The aim was to fund highly-focused projects with a short duration of about 3 months. In the newly announced funding round, CERE was fortunate enough to be awarded 6 such projects which will start and end in 2016:
- Assoc. Prof. Alexander Shapiro, “Analysis of formation damage by contaminated injected water”
- Assoc. Prof Kaj Thomsen, “Thermodynamic analysis of oilfield scale and corrosion”
- Assoc. Prof Kaj Thomsen, “Effect of Particle Size on Emulsion Formation in Smart Water EOR”
- Assoc. Prof Philip Fosbøl, “Under Deposit Corrosion (UDC) mechanisms"
- Assoc. Prof Philip Fosbøl, “Solubility measurements of corrosion products”
- Senior Researcher Wei Yan, “Evaluation of the impact of compositional characterization of reservoir fluids on modeling”
Furthermore Krishna Hara Chakravarty, a recent PhD graduate of the center will continue with a 2-year postdoc with Assoc. Prof. Kaj Thomsen in collaboration with DHRTC. The title of his new project is “Thermodynamic modelling of SmartWater”
Two shorter postdoc projects looking at thermodynamic measurements and modelling in systems relevant to DME flooding will also commence soon with DHRTC. The postdocs will work with Senior Researcher Wei Yan, Assoc. Prof. Nicolas von Solms and Prof. Georgios Kontogeorgis
