Reservoir Geomechanics Engineer, Global Projects

BEICIP-FRANLAB; Rueil-Malmaison; Sur place; EUR 55 000 - 90 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

Beicip-Franlab, based in France, seeks a Reservoir Geomechanics Engineer with 3–5 years to work on international consulting projects and R&D across Oil & Gas, geothermal energy, and other new energy applications.

You will develop and validate 1D/3D geomechanical models, integrate geological data, and work with Petrel and Code_Aster; collaborate with geoscientists, reservoir engineers, software engineers, and research teams.

Qualifications

• MSc, PhD, or Engineering degree in Geomechanics or related discipline.
• 3–5 years of professional experience in reservoir geomechanics or related fields.
• Strong knowledge of rock mechanics, continuum mechanics, and 3D finite-element modelling.
• Proficiency in Python for scientific computing, data analysis, automation, and visualization.
• Fluent English; French language skills are advantageous.

Responsabilités

• Develop, validate, calibrate, and analyse 1D and 3D reservoir geomechanical models integrating geological and petrophysical data.
• Take ownership of existing geomechanical models in different formats, particularly Petrel and Code_Aster models.
• Perform stress initialization using 3D finite-element modelling and evaluate stress-field evolution and reservoir deformation under production and injection scenarios.
• Investigate fault activation mechanisms, induced seismicity risk using appropriate modelling approaches.
• Contribute to hydraulic fracturing and stimulation studies, including fracture initiation, propagation, containment, and interaction with the stress field and existing discontinuities.
• Develop and assess data-transfer workflows between reservoir and geomechanical models.
• Use and develop workflows for modelling, data processing, quality control, automation, numerical analysis, and visualization.
• Participate in R&D projects dedicated to innovative geomechanical methodologies, model validation, coupled simulation, and workflow improvement.
• Collaborate with reservoir engineers, geologists, geophysicists, petrophysicists, software engineers, and external research partners.
• Document and communicate methods and results through technical reports, slides, presentations, and project deliverables.
• Contribute to technical proposals, project scoping, knowledge sharing, and the continuous improvement of internal methods and tools.
