JOB DESCRIPTIONWe 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 geomechanicalprojects in oil & gas applications and CO2 storage, with a focus on solving complex subsurface problems through numerical modeling.
RESPONSIBILITES- 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.
You bring deep technical skills, creativity, and a passion for numerical problem solving. Strong foundation in geomechanics, finite element modeling, and rock constitutive behavior is essential. Excellent communication, teamwork, and project management abilities are expected. Work effectively with a diverse, multicultural, geographically distributed teams.
SKILLS AND QUALIFICATIONS- 10-15 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.
