That is our purpose. As innovators, that has been our mission for 100 years. We are facing the world’s greatest balancing act- how to simultaneously reduce emissions and meet the world’s growing energy demands. We’re working on that answer. Every day, a step closer.\nOur collective future depends on decarbonizing the fossil fuel industry, while innovating a new energy landscape. It’s what drives us. Ensuring progress for people and the planet, on the journey to net zero and beyond. For a balanced planet.\nOur purpose: Together, we create amazing technology that unlocks access to energy for the benefit of all. You can find out more about us on https://www.slb.com/who-we-are\nLocation:\nAbingdon, Oxofrdshire\nDescription & Scope:\n The internship project focuses on developing a 2D solver for fluid flow in porous media as a simplified reservoir model. The solver will be based on the boundary element method (BEM), offering an efficient approach for simulating flow without the need for full volumetric discretization.\nAn important aspect of the project is enabling the solver to handle embedded elements, such as wells and fractures, which play a critical role in controlling flow behavior. The scope includes implementing the core solver, extending it to represent these embedded features, and validating the results on simplified test cases. This work will provide the intern with hands-on experience in scientific computing, numerical methods, and reservoir modeling, while contributing a practical tool for exploring innovative simulation techniques.\nResponsibilities\nContribute to the extension of an existing 2D boundary element solver for fluid flow in porous media.\n\nThe main task will be to add support for embedded elements such as wells and fractures, ensuring that these features are correctly represented in the simulation.\n\nImplementing the new functionality, testing it on simple cases, and documenting the results.\n\nDeliverables will be an extended solver prototype, validation of results,\n\nCreate a technical report.\n\nThrough this project, the student will gain valuable experience in numerical modeling, scientific programming, and applied mathematics. They will also learn how to incorporate physical features like wells and fractures into simulation tools, and how simplified reservoir models can be used to study complex subsurface behavior. By the end of the internship, the student will have hands-on experience enhancing a solver that connects theory, coding, and reservoir applications.\nQualifications :\nStudying a Bachelors or Masters in Applied Mathematics, Numerical Analysis, Software Engineering or a related discipline\n\nPartial Differental Equations\n\nNumerical Analysis\n\nSoftware Engineering\n\nSLB is an equal employment opportunity employer.
