Job Description
Our client, a global energy exploration and production company, is seeking a highly experienced Senior Reservoir Engineer to join their dynamic remote technical team. This critical role will focus on optimizing hydrocarbon recovery and maximizing the economic value of oil and gas assets through advanced reservoir characterization, simulation, and management. You will be responsible for developing and implementing sophisticated reservoir development plans, evaluating exploration opportunities, and providing expert technical advice to management and multidisciplinary teams. Key responsibilities include analyzing geological and geophysical data, performing reservoir simulation studies, forecasting production, and recommending strategies for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and gas production optimization.
The ideal candidate will possess a deep understanding of reservoir engineering principles, including fluid flow in porous media, reservoir rock properties, and thermodynamic behavior of hydrocarbons. You must have extensive experience with industry-standard reservoir simulation software (e.g., Eclipse, Petrel RE, CMG) and strong analytical and problem-solving skills. As a remote engineer, you will collaborate effectively with geologists, production engineers, and management using virtual communication and project management tools. This includes participating in virtual technical reviews, presenting findings, and contributing to strategic decision-making regarding reservoir management. Experience with unconventional reservoirs (shale gas, tight oil) and conventional fields is highly desirable. You will also be involved in economic evaluations, risk assessment, and optimizing field development strategies to enhance profitability. Staying updated on the latest technologies and methodologies in reservoir engineering and the oil and gas industry is essential. This is an unparalleled opportunity to contribute your expertise to significant energy projects, drive innovation in reservoir management, and advance your career within a leading, remote-first energy company.
