Job Description

full-time
Our client is seeking a highly skilled and analytical Petroleum Engineer specializing in Reservoir Analysis to join their esteemed team in a fully remote capacity. This role is critical for evaluating subsurface reservoirs, optimizing production strategies, and maximizing hydrocarbon recovery. You will be responsible for conducting in-depth reservoir studies, developing simulation models, and providing technical recommendations to support exploration and production operations. The ideal candidate possesses a strong background in geology, reservoir engineering principles, and advanced simulation software, combined with excellent remote collaboration capabilities.

Responsibilities:
  • Perform comprehensive reservoir characterization using geological and geophysical data.
  • Develop and maintain dynamic reservoir simulation models to predict fluid flow and production performance.
  • Analyze well test data and production history to understand reservoir behavior.
  • Estimate reserves and forecast future production rates.
  • Identify opportunities for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and optimize recovery strategies.
  • Collaborate closely with geologists, drilling engineers, and production engineers in a virtual setting.
  • Prepare detailed technical reports and presentations for management and stakeholders.
  • Evaluate the economic viability of development projects and production enhancement schemes.
  • Stay current with advancements in reservoir engineering technology and methodologies.
  • Provide technical mentorship to junior engineers and geoscientists.

Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree in Petroleum Engineering, Geology, or a related field. Advanced degree preferred.
  • Minimum of 8 years of progressive experience in reservoir engineering and analysis.
  • Proficiency in reservoir simulation software (e.g., Eclipse, CMG, Petrel).
  • Strong understanding of reservoir fluid properties, rock mechanics, and multiphase flow.
  • Experience with reserve estimation techniques (e.g., SPE PRMS) and economic evaluation.
  • Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and data interpretation skills.
  • Demonstrated ability to work effectively in a fully remote team environment, with strong communication and collaboration skills.
  • Familiarity with data analysis and visualization tools.
  • Ability to manage multiple complex projects simultaneously.
  • A commitment to safety and best practices in the oil and gas industry.
This is a fully remote position, ideal for an experienced Petroleum Engineer looking to contribute their expertise to significant projects from anywhere. While the operational context might relate to the Thika, Kiambu, KE region, the role itself is location-independent.

Job Description

full-time
Our client is seeking a highly analytical and experienced Petroleum Engineer specializing in Reservoir Analysis to join their globally distributed team. This is a fully remote position, offering the flexibility to work from any location while contributing to critical projects. The ideal candidate will possess a strong understanding of reservoir characterization, simulation, and production optimization techniques. You will be responsible for evaluating hydrocarbon potential, forecasting production, and recommending strategies to maximize recovery from oil and gas assets.

Key responsibilities include developing and updating geological and engineering models of reservoirs using specialized software. You will perform data analysis, integrating well logs, core data, seismic information, and production history to build accurate reservoir representations. The Petroleum Engineer will conduct sensitivity analyses and uncertainty assessments to quantify potential risks and opportunities. Furthermore, you will work closely with geologists, geophysicists, and drilling engineers to provide reservoir engineering input throughout the project lifecycle.

This remote role requires the ability to communicate complex technical findings clearly and concisely to both technical and non-technical audiences through virtual presentations and reports. You will also be involved in the planning and execution of field development strategies, including the placement of new wells and the optimization of existing production. A deep understanding of fluid flow in porous media and reservoir engineering principles is essential. The successful candidate will contribute to economic evaluations of reservoir projects, ensuring alignment with business objectives. This is a challenging and rewarding opportunity for a skilled professional to leverage their expertise in a cutting-edge, remote operational environment, driving value from challenging reservoirs.

Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Petroleum Engineering, or a closely related field.
  • Minimum of 6 years of experience in reservoir engineering, with a focus on reservoir characterization and simulation.
  • Proficiency in reservoir simulation software (e.g., Petrel RE, Eclipse, CMG).
  • Strong understanding of petrophysics, geology, and production engineering.
  • Experience with production data analysis and forecasting techniques.
  • Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to present technical information effectively in a remote setting.
  • Ability to work independently and collaborate effectively within a virtual team structure.
  • Knowledge of economic evaluation software and techniques is a plus.
This position is fully remote. While the company's operational focus may be near Mlolongo, Machakos, KE , you can work from any location.
