Job Description

full-time
Our client, a global leader in the oil and gas industry, is actively seeking a highly experienced Principal Reservoir Engineer to join their elite, fully remote technical team. This senior role is crucial for optimizing hydrocarbon recovery from offshore reservoirs, employing advanced simulation and analysis techniques. You will be instrumental in developing long-term field development plans, forecasting production, and managing reservoir uncertainties to maximize economic value. The ideal candidate will possess a Master's or Ph.D. in Petroleum Engineering or a related field, coupled with a minimum of 15 years of progressive experience in reservoir engineering, with a significant focus on offshore operations. Responsibilities include constructing and interpreting complex reservoir simulation models, performing material balance calculations, analyzing well test data, and conducting risk assessments. You will also be responsible for identifying new development opportunities, recommending enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods, and contributing to strategic decision-making regarding reservoir management. Exceptional analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills are essential for effectively collaborating with geoscience, production, and management teams in a remote setting. A proven ability to lead technical projects, mentor junior engineers, and communicate complex technical concepts to diverse audiences is paramount. Familiarity with industry-standard reservoir simulation software (e.g., Petrel RE, Eclipse, CMG) is required. This is an exceptional opportunity to contribute to high-impact projects in the challenging and dynamic offshore oil and gas sector, with the unparalleled flexibility of remote work. Our client is committed to attracting top talent and providing a world-class remote work experience. A dedicated, well-equipped home office is mandatory.
