Software is needed to accurately simulate CO2 injection into saline aquifers and depleted gas reservoirs. It is complex stuff - simulations typically run for 100s/1000s of years into the future, modelling chemical reactions, cap rock integrity, etc. Measurements are regularly obtained from the site which are fed back into the simulation. There are definitely jobs in this space.
- throw_away1525 4y agoThe developers working on these types of simulations typically have a background in a more traditional engineering field like petroleum engineering or chemical engineering. Not saying that it isn't possible to break into the field with a different background, just sharing my experience.
- osigurdson 4y agoIt is necessary to run thousands of simulations, collect and analyze data, etc. The scale can be enormous. There are definitely software engineering roles.
