12-month contract with possible extensionJob Overview:
We are seeking an experienced Reservoir Simulation Contractor to support a portfolio of carbon capture and storage (CCS) / carbon storage programs. This role will focus on building, calibrating, and applying reservoir simulation models to evaluate CO₂ storage performance, optimize injection strategies, and ensure safe and compliant long-term storage. The ideal candidate brings strong technical expertise in multiphase flow simulation and subsurface modeling, as well as practical experience in CO₂ storage, EOR, or gas injection projects.Key Responsibilities:
- Develop, maintain, and run dynamic reservoir simulation models for CO₂ storage reservoirs
- Perform simulations to evaluate:
- CO₂ injectivity and plume migration
- Pressure evolution and management strategies
- Storage capacity and efficiency
- Containment and trapping mechanisms
- Integrate geologic, petrophysical, and fluid data into simulation models
- Conduct history matching and uncertainty analysis where applicable
- Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams (geoscience, petrophysics, drilling, facilities, and regulatory)
- Provide technical input to MMV (Monitoring, Measurement, and Verification) planning
- Generate clear technical reports and presentations for internal and external stakeholders
Qualifications:
- Ph.D. degree in Petroleum Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or related discipline
