- Support research involving enhanced recovery processes and complex fluid systems.
- Interpret simulation results and provide technical recommendations.
- Work closely with process engineers, researchers, and technical leadership.
- Prepare technical documentation and communicate findings to project stakeholders.
Required Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Petroleum Engineering, Reservoir Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or related discipline.
- Practical experience with CMG STARS reservoir simulation software.
- Experience using LAMMPS for molecular dynamics simulations.
- Strong understanding of reservoir engineering fundamentals.
- Experience interpreting and validating simulation data.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience supporting R&D or technology development projects.
- Knowledge of fluid characterization and chemical composition modeling.
- Experience with thermal recovery, enhanced oil recovery (EOR), or unconventional reservoirs.
- Programming or scripting experience (Python or MATLAB) is a plus.
Ideal Candidate:
The successful candidate is an engineer who enjoys solving complex technical problems through simulation. They have real-world experience using CMG STARS and LAMMPS, can work with minimal direction, and are comfortable collaborating across engineering and research disciplines to support innovative technology development.
