Senior Reservoir Simulation Scientist

People are our most valuable asset.

The Senior Reservoir Simulation Scientist will work as part of CMGโ€™s CoFlow development team. CoFlow combines reservoir and production engineering simulation technologies to improve the overall productivity of engineering workflows for large, integrated assets. It enables oil and gas companies to better understand and develop petroleum resources through a unified approach.

The successful candidate will join a small development team responsible for the technologies supporting CoFlowโ€™s well and production engineering capabilities.

Key Responsibilities

Working as part of the CoFlow team and under the direction of the Development Team Lead, the employee will work within a small team of engineering software professionals. The team is responsible for the design, development, and maintenance of innovative technologies for simulating reservoirs, wells, and surface networks.

A primary responsibility of this position will be to maintain and extend CoFlowโ€™s fluid modeling capabilities, including, but not limited to, black-oil, K-value, and equation of state fluid models; fluid blending strategies; flash calculations; fluid component lumping/de-lumping; and temperature and enthalpy formulations for thermal applications.

ย Additional responsibilities include:

  • Contribute to improving the teamโ€™s software development processes.
  • Work collaboratively with other CoFlow team members.
  • Understand the needs of reservoir and production engineers who use CoFlow.
  • Help develop clear specifications for new software features, including acceptance tests and release criteria.
  • Contribute to the design, implementation, testing, and maintenance of high-quality engineering software.

Note: This description reflects the general nature of the role. Itโ€™s not a complete list of responsibilitiesโ€”we believe in flexibility, initiative, and growing together.
