Job Description:
Let me tell you about the role
BP’s Technology Upstream R&D; (URD) group is at the forefront of leading-edge technology development and innovation. Our goal is to advance our ways of working to facilitate safer, rapid and reliable operations across the bp portfolio.

bp is modernising and enhancing its subsurface toolkit. This includes moving to a GPU-enabled reservoir simulator and building/deploying agentic workflows.
The initial objective of this role (for at least the first 12 months) will be to perform reservoir simulation model conversions from Halliburton Nexus format to the Eclipse format. You will work with regional teams to perform, QC and troubleshoot this process, ensuring the resulting models capture the relevant Physical processes, development scheme and operating philosophy of each field. Minimising and understanding any differences in predicted recovery.
Upon completion of the reservoir simulator conversion project,



this role will broaden to utilising your broad reservoir engineering experience, coupled Python, machine learning, high performance computing (HPC), AI and analytics, to support the transformation of subsurface ways of working. In your work you will partner with region and central staff, across subsurface, Digital Delivery and bp’s CHPC facility. This work will focus on technology development, workflow automation and next-generation simulation techniques.

What you will deliver
Using industry tools and bp’s open source ResSimpy Python package, you will convert models between simulation formats and use your reservoir engineering experience to QC, understand and quantify any differences in response.
You will work closely with asset teams to understand individual model requirements and provide a robust and efficient conversion to the recent format.
Some of the work will be hands-on editing, directly applying your skills and experience. You will also make use of AI agents. F
