Geophysics Processing Intern: 3D Subsurface Imaging & FWI

Viridien; Saint-Nicolas-de-la-Grave; On-site; EUR 6,700 - 10,000; Full time

Benefits offered by this job

Cafeteria subsidy

Transportation reimbursement

CSE benefits

Health insurance

Employee assistance program

Job summary

Viridien is seeking a motivated final-year student for a six-month internship in Earth data applications. You will apply physics, mathematics or geophysics knowledge to real-world seismic data problems, under guidance from our R&D teams.

Roles include exploring land imaging, elastic FWI, 4D processing, and advanced demultiple, with hands-on work on state-of-the-art workflows and large datasets. Starting January 2027, interns join a collaborative, international team.

Qualifications

• Last year of Master’s degree in Geophysics, Mathematics, Physics, Astrophysics/Astronomy, Natural Sciences with a Physics specialization.

Responsibilities

• Testing and deploying innovative demultiple methods and workflows in collaboration with our R&D department
• Setting up a robust production-scale workflow for a large ultra high-density land dataset with several hundred Terabytes of data
• Testing new methods to further refine and improve our current state-of-the-art FWI workflow, in collaboration with our R&D department
• Setting up a robust production FWI workflow over a large ultra-high-density land dataset
• Establishing a new imaging workflow for optimizing the update of the elastic parameters with FWI. The coupling between these parameters being a complex problem, testing will be carried out in collaboration with the R&D department
• Building a production-scale velocity model with elastic FWI over a streamer or OBN dataset.
• Developing and testing novel signal-processing workflows to remove non-repeatable noise caused by 4D amplitude variations, positioning errors, and non-repeatable multiples between base and monitor datasets.
• Running 4D imaging on a production-scale project and improving it by applying the process of least-squares migration to mitigate the impact of non-repeatable acquisition geometry
• Testing and deploying innovative demultiple methods and workflows in collaboration with our R&D department
• Setting up a robust production-scale workflow for a large ultra high-density land dataset with several hundred Terabytes of data
