Neural analysis suggests this role is
optimal for Entry candidates.
“PhD Intern at Viridien. Skills: Sparse geophysical acquisition, Sparse geophysical imaging, Unmanned and autonomous vessels and drones utilization, New sensing techniques, Processing and imaging software and algorithms. Develop optimal acquisition geometries and corresponding processing/imaging solutions for sparse ocean-bottom node systems. Investigate processing and imaging methods for sparse and irregularly sampled seismic data”
What You'll Achieve.
Achieve a PhD degree; Future offshore mapping and monitoring systems must deliver high-quality subsurface information at lower cost and with greater operational flexibility than conventional seismic surveys; Sparse marine acquisition systems can provide reliable, high-resolution subsurface information using fewer sensors, smaller sources and more autonomous operations
Industry & Context.
Resolve complex natural resource, digital, energy transition and infrastructure challenges; Leaner and less energy demanding solutions that do not materially compromise subsurface imaging quality; More information from less equipment, fewer people offshore and lower acquisition cost
Significant time at NTNU in Trondheim for academic courses, Possible travel to the offices of Reach Subsea in Bergen and Haugesund to participate in field tests
What They're Looking For.
Must Have
Master's degree in Geophysics, Mathematics, Physics, Astrophysics/Astronomy, Earth Sciences and Natural Sciences with a Physics specialisation, Less than 18 months of industry experience
What You'll Do.
Develop optimal acquisition geometries and corresponding processing/imaging solutions for sparse ocean-bottom node systems
Investigate processing and imaging methods for sparse and irregularly sampled seismic data
Work towards integration of DAS into the processing flow of Permanent Reservoir Monitoring systems
Evaluate the performance of small seismic sources for monitoring applications
Investigate and field test autonomous and unmanned systems for low-cost marine acquisition
Combine seismic and micro-gravity measurements for improved reservoir and CCS monitoring
Develop workflows for passive imaging/monitoring using sparse sensing systems
How You'll Work.
Team & Collaboration
Working and learning alongside Viridien’s processing and imaging R&D experts; Cooperating with the marine acquisition experts at Reach Subsea; Leveraging the geological and geophysical expertise of AkerBP and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU)
Full Job Description
Viridien ([www.viridiengroup.com](http://www.viridiengroup.com)) is an advanced technology, digital and Earth data company that pushes the boundaries of science for a more prosperous and sustainable future. With our ingenuity, drive and deep curiosity we discover new insights, innovations, and solutions that efficiently and responsibly resolve complex natural resource, digital, energy transition and infrastructure challenges. # # **Are you looking for a unique opportunity to shape the future?** We are looking for a talented and motivated **PhD Intern** to join our team in Oslo, for a 3-year Industrial PhD program sponsored by the Research Council of Norway and Viridien. The focus will be on sparse geophysical acquisition and imaging, working towards a future with leaner and less energy demanding solutions that do not materially compromise subsurface imaging quality. The utilisation of unmanned and autonomous vessels and drones will be a central part of the project, in addition to new sensing techniques. # **Role details** This is a unique opportunity for a motivated candidate to achieve a PhD degree while working and learning alongside Viridien’s processing and imaging R&D experts, cooperating with the marine acquisition experts at Reach Subsea, and leveraging the geological and geophysical expertise of AkerBP and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). It will also be an opportunity to learn and utilise Viridien’s advanced proprietary processing and imaging software and algorithms, including [FWI](http://www.newscientist.com/article/2520864-how-geophysicists-are-reverse-engineering-the-earth/). **Location** The position will be located mainly in the Viridien office in Oslo, but there will also be significant time at NTNU in Trondheim for academic courses. It is also possible you may travel to the offices of Reach Subsea in Bergen and Haugesund to participate in field tests and learn more about remotely controlled and autonomous marine. **Start Da
