The University of Stavanger invites applications for a three-year doctorate scholarship in petroleum engineering at the Faculty of Science and Technology in the Department of Petroleum Engineering. The title of the project is “Frontier petroleum geology exploration”. Accretionary prisms are large wedges of sedimentary rocks that have been scrapped off the top of the descending oceanic plate along convergent plate margins. These sedimentary wedges have complex tectonic and infill history and are not well understood because they are located mostly under water with little subaerial exposure. Most geological data is limited to marine seismic. Few commercial hydrocarbons are produced from these tectonic settings, even though they are located in the proximity of large giant oil and gas fields. Therefore these regions are underexplored for hydrocarbons and may hold large quantities of reserves. The aim of the PhD research project is, by compiling and analyzing surface and subsurface data al...

POST-DOC Position available in Nancy (France) Period: October 2009 – September 2010 Research Director: Prof. Hervé Panetto (Herve.Panetto[ at ]cran.uhp-nancy.fr) Title: Models and Semantics for product-centric systems interoperability The objective of this work is to test the scientific interest of making the product, beyond the whole process, interactive (this means that the product information may participate to the decision process), to organize then a more collaborative interoperability of different heterogeneous systems (APS, ERP, MES, SCM). Companies are interested as much in the design of systems (production, information, decision-making …), and their interoperations even their integration in a given context. This problem only makes sense in the context of evolution of organizations and their environment, or when a company provides engineering methods and tools that facilitate the decision making of complex processes. Given this context, an approach for the engineering of thes...
