Description:

Main skills:- Maths, Physics, Science, C++, VC++, C, Fortran, Java, OO, 3D visualisation, GUI, numerical analysis,optimisation theory, computational geometry, fluid dynamics (especially flow through porous media), reservoir simulatordevelopment, grid generation and upscaling.Leading supplier of software products and services for the oil exploration and production industry, our client is part ofa much larger international organisation. Their software products integrate all the major activities of Exploration&Production, namely interpretation and visualization, reservoir modelling and simulation, full reservoircharacterization, mapping and modelling, data management, and drilling and production. In addition, each of their 70 datacentres in 42 countries worldwide provide a highly sophisicated range of services to enable complex oilfield data to bedisplayed, interpreted and integrated. This highly succesful organisation have vacancies for individuals interested inscientific or technical software development in their Simulation Software Group which develops petroleum reservoirmodelling software for oil companies around the world. All candidates are likely to have an excellent academic backgroundin science, mathematics or computing, a strong aptitude for problem solving and an interest in a career in softwaredevelopment, ideally with some experience of working on large or complex codes (possibly as part of a PhD ).
