Additional Information

Viridien ( www.viridiengroup.com ) is an advanced technology, digital and Earth data company that pushes the boundaries of science for a more prosperous and sustainable future. With our ingenuity, drive and deep curiosity we discover new insights, innovations, and solutions that efficiently and responsibly resolve complex natural resource, digital, energy transition and infrastructure challenges. Details: CO2 capture, storage and utilization technologies are part of the range of solutions identified to global warming mitigation measures. These technologies require precise 3D modelling, integrating seismic and well data of the geological layer as well as clear geomechanical modelling of the reservoir where the CO2 will be injected and the overburden. For geomechanical studies, Viridien is using a coupled reservoir, geomechanics, and fracturing software called GEOSIM. The workflow is used for analysing reservoir problems that involve strong coupling between reservoir flow and mechanical deformation, or interactions with fractures resulting from stimulation treatments (e.g., waterflooding or fluid injection) in both single and multi-well systems. The fully coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical simulator has recently been equipped with an advanced parallelization option, which works on high-performance computing (HPC) machines, utilizing Viridien's G2 module, and facilitates the running of high-resolution, large-scale models suited for global CO2 storage projects. This new implementation will be tested during the internship, first on small volumes of synthetic data and then on real data to validate its application and compare the results with other geomechanical tools available. The intern will be in charge of documenting the main steps of the proposed workflow, proposing improvements for the research team, as well as supporting the operational team for key case studies. Skills & Competencies Strong analytical and problem-solving skills Proven ability to collaborate effectively with R&D partners Solid understanding of the theoretical principles of geomechanics and finite element simulation Experience with industrial 3D geomechanical simulators such as CMG, Abaqus, and Visage Proficiency in programming languages, including Fortran and C++ Familiarity with geophysics and petrophysics is desirable, but not required A strong research mindset and excellent teamwork skills are essential
