Geomechanics Numerical Modeler

Geomechanics Numerical Modeler

• Pay Rate: $140.00 - $161.00/hour on W2
• Contract Length: 12 months
• Location: Spring, TX 77389 (Onsite)

• We are seeking a motivated and experienced Geomechanics Numerical Modeler with strong expertise in computational modeling, solid mechanics, and finite element methods.
• This role will support well planning and geomechanical projects in oil & gas applications and CO2 storage, with a focus on solving complex subsurface problems through numerical modeling.

• Utilize numerical modeling tools and software to solve subsurface problems involving stresses, pore pressure, and deformations.
• Develop and implement innovative workflows, tools, and modeling approaches with minimal supervision.
• Integrate numerical results with experimental geomechanics or field observations to improve prediction and decision making.
• Collaborate across technical disciplines and global teams to deploy solutions into operational workflows.
• Deliver high-quality technical reports and presentations to internal and external audiences.

• 5-15 years of experience in application of geomechanical modeling for subsurface applications in oil and gas.
• MS or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Petroleum Engineering, Geophysics, Geology or related field.
• Expertise in computational modeling of deformation, stresses, and coupled systems (solid-thermal or poro-mechanics).
• Experience in developing or applying mathematical/numerical models to solid and multi physics problems.
• Experience with subsurface geomechanics applications (e.g., reservoir compaction, fault reactivation, casing/completion deformation, stress prediction for well planning, hydraulic fracturing).

• Experience with modeling tools (e.g., ABAQUS, VISAGE, ANSYS, Reveal, VISAGE, Elfen, Petrel) and high-performance computing environments.
• Ability to develop or modify code in MATLAB, Python, or other programming languages.
• Industry experience in geomechanical modeling is highly desirable.
