oil and gas PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 24 oil and gas PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

Foam improved oil recovery

Typically in oil and gas production, only a small fraction of the oil present manages to flow out of an oil reservoir under the reservoir’s own pressure. Read more

Experimental study of ion transport in subsurface media for renewable energy storage

These projects are open to students worldwide, but have no funding attached. Therefore, the successful applicant will be expected to fund tuition fees at the relevant level (home or international) and any applicable additional research costs. Read more

Optimal Design of Fibre Reinforced Composite Pipes and Umbilicals

These projects are open to students worldwide, but have no funding attached. Therefore, the successful applicant will be expected to fund tuition fees at the relevant level (home or international) and any applicable additional research costs. Read more

Gaseous Pipeline Transport and its underground porous media Storage for NET ZERO Innovation

These projects are open to students worldwide, but have no funding attached. Therefore, the successful applicant will be expected to fund tuition fees at the relevant level (home or international) and any applicable additional research costs. Read more

Ultrasound Based Technology for Removal of Scale from Downhole Production Tubing

These projects are open to students worldwide, but have no funding attached. Therefore, the successful applicant will be expected to fund tuition fees at the relevant level (home or international) and any applicable additional research costs. Read more

Microbubble Coalescence in Turbulence

Supervisory Team.   Dr John Lawson. Project description. Applications are invited for a fully funded PhD position on applying computer vision (CV) and machine learning (ML) approaches to experimentally measure and model coalescence in turbulent dispersed multiphase flow. Read more

Hot corrosion studies of gas turbine alloy materials PhD

This is a self-funded PhD position to work with Dr Adnan Syed in the Surface Engineering and Precision Centre. The PhD project will focus studying high temperature corrosion mechanisms in details to identify the material degradation and coatings applications details in extreme environments. Read more

Binks Institute for Sustainability: Improving the Reliability and Economy of Anchors for Floating Offshore Wind Energy

As a part of efforts to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050, the UK offshore wind turbine capacity had reached 13.7 GW by 2022, but a higher growth rate is required to meet the target of 50 GW of installed capacity by 2030. Read more

Energi Simulation Chairs: Numerical Modelling of EOR Processes and energy transition

Two Chairs in CCUS and Reactive Flow Simulation and on Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR)/energy transition are supported by the charitable foundation Energi Simulation in the Institute of GeoEnergy Engineering at Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, Scotland, UK. Read more

Modelling of microbial induced hydrogen loss for underground hydrogen storage

Hydrogen is identified to play a key role in the UK’s goal of achieving net zero emissions by 2050. To meet this target, the UK needs hydrogen storage capacity of at least 15 TWh (~ 450k tonnes) meet short-term and seasonal supply and demand variability. Read more

Advanced Composites Structures FEA/CFD Modelling Design and Manufacturing

Introduction. The most common composite material consists of carbon or glass fibres that are bonded together with a polymer matrix and are often referred to as carbon or glass fibre reinforced plastics (CFRP or GFRP). Read more

Impact of grain roughness on porous media flows under conditions relevant to the subsurface

These projects are open to students worldwide, but have no funding attached. Therefore, the successful applicant will be expected to fund tuition fees at the relevant level (home or international) and any applicable additional research costs. Read more

Sustainable Alternative Routes to Chemicals and Fuels via Hydrothermal Processing

The global climate emergency presents pressing challenges around identifying sustainable routes to fuels and chemicals, the production of which currently relies on fossil and other unsustainable resources. Read more
