Geomechanics and G&G Operations Specialist - Military Veterans

About the position:

The Geomechanics and G&G Ops Specialist will provide basic modeling support across various disciplines and functions to enable safe operations & reducing environmental risk, enhance field productivity & ensure reserves, and safeguard the system integrity & reliability. The position supports the construction, setup and execution of well and reservoir geomechanical models that are integral to upstream activities. The role brings together working subsurface knowledge and expertise in a growing technical area with significant impact and overlap with Shale and Tight, Carbon Sequestration, Deepwater and Heavy Oil assets. The role requires close collaboration with subject matter experts and chapter managers in Chevron Technical Center to maintain workflow alignment.

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct analyses to address geomechanical challenges such as: fracturing, fault reactivation, subsidence/compaction, PI decline, fractured injector performance, wellbore stability, sand production, induced seismicity, etc.
  
• Ability to conduct petrophysical interpretation of various well-logging technologies with experience in open hole and cased hole analysis, a solid understanding of petrophysical applications of rock mechanics, as well as foundational skills such as mineral analysis. Integrate geological and geophysical, well and field data into the construction of 1D mechanical earth models
  
• Develop Finite Element reservoir and well scale meshes and provide quality assurance of meshes
  
• Populate numerical geomechanical models with geological and geophysical data, rock properties and, relevant pressure and temperature conditions under collaboration with relevant subject matter experts in Chevron Technical Center
  
• Execute numerical geomechanics models, extract relevant data and manage results repository
  
• Conduct Finite Element modeling and or coupled flow and geomechanics modeling. Manage, create, and analyze Mechanical Earth Models
  

Required Qualifications:

• BS and MS in Earth science disciplines (Geology, Geophysics, Geomechanics) or Petroleum or equivalent Engineering from a deemed/recognized (AICTE) university
  
• 5-10 years of pertinent industry experience is required and 5-10 years of experience in geomechanics field is preferred
  
• Experience in oil and gas industry
  
• Experience in hands-on geomechanics modeling
  
• Experience with well operations and understanding of the interplay between subsurface conditions and well ops
  
• Experienced in multiple reservoir types and proficient in a wide range of geomechanics analysis techniques
  
• Preferred experience in three-dimensional unstructured mesh generation tools such as Hypermesh
  
• Preferred experience in one dimensional log interpretation tools such as Techlog or Geolog
  
• Preferred experience in finite element solvers such as Abaqus, ParaGeo or Elfen
  
• Preferred experience in hydraulic fracture modeling software for shale and tight applications such as Kinetix, ResFrac or StimPlan
  
• Preferred experience in coupled flow and geomechanics models such as REVEAL, CMG, XSite or GEOS
