Job Description

full-time
Our client, a prominent player in the Oil & Gas sector, is seeking an experienced and highly skilled Lead Reservoir Engineer to join their fully remote operations team. This critical role involves leveraging advanced analytical techniques and cutting-edge software to optimize hydrocarbon recovery from subsurface reservoirs. You will be responsible for characterizing reservoir performance, forecasting production, and developing strategies to maximize asset value. The ideal candidate possesses a deep understanding of reservoir physics, fluid flow, and enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods, coupled with exceptional leadership and communication skills to effectively guide a globally distributed team.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Lead the technical evaluation and development of oil and gas reservoirs, including reservoir characterization, modeling, and simulation.
  • Develop and implement integrated reservoir management strategies to optimize production and enhance recovery efficiency.
  • Perform decline curve analysis, volumetric calculations, and economic evaluations to assess reservoir potential and performance.
  • Utilize advanced reservoir simulation software (e.g., Eclipse, Petrel RE) to model reservoir behavior under various production scenarios.
  • Develop and recommend optimal well placement, completion strategies, and production/injection schemes.
  • Analyze production data and well performance to identify opportunities for improvement and troubleshoot operational issues.
  • Evaluate the feasibility and impact of Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) techniques.
  • Collaborate closely with geoscientists, drilling engineers, production engineers, and economists to ensure a holistic approach to asset development.
  • Mentor and guide junior reservoir engineers, fostering technical growth and a culture of excellence.
  • Stay abreast of the latest technologies, methodologies, and industry best practices in reservoir engineering.
  • Prepare technical reports, presentations, and recommendations for management and stakeholders.

Qualifications:
  • Master's degree or Ph.D. in Petroleum Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
  • A minimum of 10 years of progressive experience in reservoir engineering within the upstream Oil & Gas industry.
  • Proven expertise in reservoir characterization, fluid flow analysis, reservoir simulation, and production forecasting.
  • Demonstrated proficiency with industry-standard reservoir engineering software packages.
  • Strong understanding of petrophysics, geology, and well completion technologies.
  • Experience with unconventional reservoirs and/or Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) projects is a significant advantage.
  • Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills.
  • Exceptional leadership, teamwork, and communication abilities, essential for a remote working environment.
  • Ability to work independently and manage multiple projects simultaneously.

This is an exceptional opportunity for a seasoned professional seeking a challenging remote role with significant impact in the global Oil & Gas landscape.
