• Maturation of field development projects.
• Reservoir modelling and energy efficient reservoir management.
• Well target identification, well planning and optimal well placement.
• Production forecasting and emission predictions.
• Optimization and data driven production predictions.
• Carbon capture and storage projects.
• Contribute to digitalization and improvement initiatives.

Tasks may vary depending on your background, interests, and other factors.

Here's what we expect from you:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in relevant technical discipline.
• Completed degree by August 2027: Education within: Reservoir or Production Technology and related disciplines such as; Drilling & Well, Flow Assurance, Process Technology, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry/Chemical Engineering, Data Science or Cybernetics.
• Relevant software competence, and the ability to learn new tools.
