All-round Developer Job Description
Shell’s PetroSigns platform combines subsurface modelling capabilities to help teams optimize field development and hydrocarbon recovery. In order to take the best field development decisions, we need to understand the uncertainties and represent these in the modelling process. PetroSigns supports the integrated workflows that are key for sharing knowledge between technical disciplines and jointly optimize field development plans while managing uncertainty. One of the projects in the PetroSigns development effort is incorporate data analytics techniques and workflows into the platform.
