Overview
This internship provides hands-on experience in experimental and numerical methods for the development and optimization of garter springs used in retrievable packer elements. Interns will work on understanding mechanical behavior, improving simulation accuracy, and contributing to innovative solutions in completion tools.
Key Responsibilities
- Analyse existing datasets to understand garter spring mechanics.
- Develop component- and element-level test methods to verify Finite Element Analysis (FEA) models.
- Improve current FEA models for better prediction accuracy of garter spring performance.
- Establish or refine design rules for garter springs and garter spring-reinforced plug/elements.
- Explore opportunities for simulation- or mechanics-driven innovation.
Qualifications / Requirements
- Currently pursuing or recently graduated with a degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field.
- Experience with nonlinear FEA and understanding of nonmetallic material behavior.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
- Proactive, curious, and able to work both independently and in teams.
