PhD Studentship - Predicting Reservoir and Wellbore Scaling in Geothermal Developments through Integrated Subsurface Interpretation and Modelling

Newcastle University

  • Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom

Award summary 100% home fees covered, and a minimum tax-free annual living allowance of £21,805 (2026/27 UKRI rate). An additional allowance will be provided to contribute towards consumables, equipment, and travel related to the project. Overview Deep geothermal energy has the potential to provide a long-term, sustainable source of low-carbon heat. However, the long-term performance can depend on complex interactions between geology, fluid flow and water–rock reactions. Changes in pressure, temperature and fluid chemistry during production and reinjection can promote mineral dissolution and p

PhD Studentship - Investigating How Water-rock Interactions Influence Geothermal Reservoir Sustainability using Experiments and Geochemical Modelling

Newcastle University

  • Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom

Award summary 100% home fees covered, and a minimum tax-free annual living allowance of £21,805 (2026/27 UKRI rate). An additional allowance will be provided to contribute towards consumables, equipment, and travel related to the project. Overview Deep geothermal reservoirs can provide a long-term, sustainable supply of heat and energy to serve society’s needs. The performance and operational lifespan of geothermal systems depend on the subsurface distribution of heat, fluid flow pathways, and recharge mechanisms and fluid chemical composition. These factors control the precipitation, dissolut
