ABOUT SCHLUMBERGER:
We are Schlumberger, the leading provider of technology and services
to the energy industry. Throughout much of the oil and gas lifecycle
in over 120 countries; we design, develop, and deliver technology and
services that transforms how work is done.
We define the boundaries of the industry by unleashing our talented
people’s energy. We’re looking for innovators to join our diverse
community of colleagues and develop new solutions and push the limits
of what’s possible. If you share our passion for discovery and want
to find out what you could really do, then here is the place to do it.
JOB SUMMARY:
Our team, Subsurface Structural Modeling, has for mission the
elaboration of industrial numerical code for building structural
models of the underground. Those models are essential to understand
the history of the underground and its structure, enabling to search
for subsurface ressources (ore, geothermal, oil and gas, water).
The objective of this internship is to build a method allowing to take
into account the interpretation data uncertainty, in particular for
the faults, in order to estimate the variability it induces on the
geological structures.
First, the candidate will have to do a research of bibliography in
order to have a panoramic view of the current techniques allowing to
quantify uncertainty of interpretation data.
Second the candidate will implement a new technique based on finite
element approximation allowing to relax the geometrical constraints
due to fault discontinuities, by introducing them as a dual field in
the formulation. This allows to have a more flexible representation of
the structure and to decouple the discontinuities from the space
discretization.
Last, but not least, the candidate will use some recent results of
stochastic finite elements (polynomial chaos) in order to study the
variability of the structural models linked to the fault uncertainty.
ESSENTIAL RESPONSIBILITIES AND DUTIES:
* Bibliographical research
* Analysis of the problem
* Mathematical formulation (pdes, probabilties, random chaos)
* Implementation of a prototype (C++)
* Report and Technical discussions
QUALIFICATION:
* 5 years degree (or equivalent) in applied mathematics
* Penultimate or final year
COMPETENCIES:
* C++ programming
* Curiosity, rigor and problem solving skills
* High interest in scientific domains and industrial challenges
* Excellent English communication skills
