Job Description

full-time
Our client, an international energy company recognized for its innovative approach to resource extraction, is seeking a highly skilled and experienced Remote Reservoir Engineer to join their dynamic team. This is a critical, fully remote position focused on optimizing hydrocarbon recovery and maximizing asset value through advanced reservoir characterization and management strategies. You will be responsible for analyzing reservoir performance, conducting material balance calculations, performing decline curve analysis, and developing sophisticated reservoir simulation models. Your expertise will guide well placement, production optimization, and enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques. The ideal candidate will possess a deep understanding of subsurface geology, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, and petrophysics, combined with advanced analytical and numerical modeling skills. Proficiency in industry-standard reservoir simulation software (e.g., ECLIPSE, Petrel RE) is essential. You will collaborate closely with geologists, production engineers, and geophysicists in a virtual setting, translating complex data into actionable insights and strategic recommendations. This role offers the unique opportunity to contribute to significant upstream projects from anywhere, demanding strong self-management, initiative, and excellent remote communication skills. We are looking for individuals who are adept at interpreting well logs, core data, and production data to build accurate reservoir models. Your ability to identify opportunities for incremental recovery and contribute to field development planning will be highly valued. Join our forward-thinking team and play a pivotal role in shaping the future of energy production through data-driven reservoir management.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Perform reservoir characterization using geological, petrophysical, and production data.
  • Conduct reservoir simulation studies to predict performance and optimize recovery.
  • Develop and maintain material balance and decline curve analysis models.
  • Plan and manage data acquisition programs (e.g., core floods, well tests).
  • Evaluate and recommend Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) and Improved Oil Recovery (IOR) methods.
  • Optimize well performance and identify opportunities for infill drilling or workovers.
  • Collaborate with geologists, geophysicists, and production engineers on field development plans.
  • Prepare technical reports, presentations, and economic evaluations for management.
  • Stay abreast of new technologies and methodologies in reservoir engineering.
  • Ensure accurate forecasting of reserves and production.
  • Mentor junior engineers and contribute to knowledge sharing.
  • Work effectively independently and as part of a distributed global team.
Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree in Petroleum Engineering, Geological Engineering, or a related field. A Master's degree is strongly preferred.
  • Minimum of 5-7 years of experience in reservoir engineering roles within the upstream oil and gas industry.
  • Proven experience with reservoir simulation software (e.g., ECLIPSE, CMG, Petrel RE).
  • Strong understanding of reservoir fluid properties, rock mechanics, and thermodynamics.
  • Proficiency in data analysis, statistical methods, and production forecasting.
  • Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and decision-making skills.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills for technical reporting and remote collaboration.
  • Ability to work autonomously, manage multiple projects, and meet deadlines in a remote environment.
  • Familiarity with uncertainty analysis and risk management in reservoir studies.
  • Experience with unconventional reservoirs is a plus.
