Overview

People are our most valuable asset. ShaleSim is CMGs integrated fracture-to-production simulator for unconventional development launched in June 2026. It couples a new fracture simulator with CMGs IMEX and GEM reservoir engines so that completions reservoir and geomechanics engineers can model every stage and well across a full pad - from fracture design through production forecasting - and carry the stress and depletion changes from producing wells into the design of child wells and refracs.

As Product Manager for ShaleSim you will own what the product becomes which problems it solves next in what order and how well it solves them for operators in the Permian Montney Duvernay Vaca Muerta Middle East and beyond. You will work daily with R&D Customer Success Sales and Marketing and directly with the client completions and reservoir teams who use ShaleSim.
