The Reservoir Characterization Project is a
group of 10-16 students from the geophysics, geology, and
petroleum engineering departments. While the numbers vary with
time, there are typically 4-6 PhD students and the remainder are
MS students. We are looking for exciting and motivated students
to join our group. Some of the advantages of working in RCP
include:
- Broad range of research topics from
theory to experimentation to application
- Close interaction with 30+ petroleum
industry companies and personnel
- Opportunities to work with other
research consortia on campus
- Teamwork environment providing valuable
experience
- Several opportunies to present and
publish research at internal and external meetings
- Ability to work on projects directly
related to the petroleum industry, future energy resources,
and environmental problems creating diverse career
opportunities
- We are currently seeking
students for our PHASE XIII - Delhi Field
We accept a broad range
of students from those fresh out of undergraduate school to
those with several years of industry experience. During their
graduate career, RCP students have several internship
opportunites to gain even more experience and industry contacts.
Upon graduation, RCP students have several job offers and have a
reputation for being able to start making significant
contributions to employers from the start. If you are interested in
learning more about RCP we encourage you to browse this website,
and then contact
Dr. Tom Davis. You can
also inquire about attending one of our sponsor meetings held
every Spring and Fall or visiting us anytime during the year.
For a student's perspective of RCP and CSM, contact
Kelsey Schiltz, a Master's student. General
information about the Colorado School of Mines graduate program,
including application materials, can be found at the school's
prospective student website.
Possible Research Areas:
- Acquisition and processing of multicomponent data
- Anisotropy analysis and interpretation
- Seismic attribute analysis and interpretation
- 3-D and 4-D visualization
- Fracture modeling, reservoir modeling, and reservoir
simulation
- Practical and environmental issues concerning enhanced
oil recovery and CO2 sequestration
- Cross-equalization, repeatability, and time-lapse
analysis and interpretation
- Seismic data inversion including joint inversion of
multiple wavefields
- Any other topic you can think of to make use of the most
comprehensive seismic dataset in the world!

The Reservoir Characterization
Project (RCP) at Colorado School of Mines is an
independently sponsored research consortium. The
contribution of sponsors in the consortium could be in
three different ways:
1- Student mentoring
2- Research and software and
hardware collabration
3- Financial contribution
Through this contribution,
sponsors benefit:
1- Bi-annual sponsors' meeting;
Educational seminars
2- Bi-annual reports to
participants and web access through RCP website
3- Access to student theses
4- Presentation and research
showcase
5- Data and result availability

The availble phases for sponsors
contribution are:
1- Phase
XIII - Delhi Field / Louisiana started in April
2009 (Read more). You may see list of
our
sponsors for Phase XIII
until now.
Also, the proposal and contract
for Phase XIII is availbale online for your
consideration.
2- Phase XII
- Postle Field / Oklahoma started in April 2007
(Read more). You may see list of
our
sponsors for Phase XII
until now. Also, the proposal and contract for Phase XII
is available for your consideration.
It is worth mentioning that
sponsors are welcome to join a project at any time during
a phase. For further information and any question about
