Senior R\&D Engineer

Interwell P&A is currently seeking a Senior R&D Engineer.

This is a unique opportunity to join a focused development team with high expertise and a multidisciplinary approach.

Interwells RockSolid™ is a groundbreaking new technology for the decommissioning of oil and gas wells. An energetic material is delivered via a container to a specified depth in the well, where it is then activated. At a temperature exceeding 3500ºC, it melts the entire cross-section of the well, creating a permanent gas-tight barrier. This technology saves the industry significant resources while reducing environmental emissions.
