PETROLEUM  GEOCHEMISTRY GROUP
UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA

	A postdoctoral position is immediately available in the Petroleum
Geochemistry group, School of Geology and Geophysics, University of
Oklahoma to work on a project related to unconventional gas sources.
There are multiple aspects to this position and it is related to
gases from the Barnett Shale, Fort Worth Basin, Woodford Shale,
Anadarko Basin and the various gas producing regions of the Rocky
Mountains. Isotopic characterization and compositional analyses of
the gases along with the characterization of source facies are being
used to provide a comprehensive understanding on the origin of the
gas in these areas. In addition gas isotopes are being used to
investigate the thermal maturity trends in the basins and source rock
specific kinetics will be obtained for these trends. The results will
be used to predict the source of the gas in different parts of the
basin, total volume of gas generated, maturity of gas, timing of gas
generation, gas composition (e.g. wetness), gas migration pathways,
and compartmentalization within the fields.
	Ideally we are looking for someone with a background in gas
geochemistry and experience with stable isotopes. However anyone with
a good background in other areas of organic/petroleum geochemistry is
strongly encouraged to apply.
	If interested or if you know of any potential candidates please send
an email to me at [[log in to unmask]] and I will answer any questions or
provide further information.
