Job Description

full-time
Our client is actively seeking a highly skilled Senior Reservoir Simulation Engineer to join our fully remote, world-class oil and gas exploration and production team. This role is central to developing and executing sophisticated reservoir simulation models that drive optimal field development strategies and maximize hydrocarbon recovery. You will work with vast geological and engineering datasets, employing advanced numerical methods and state-of-the-art software to predict reservoir behavior, assess recovery scenarios, and optimize production plans. This position offers the unique advantage of contributing to critical energy projects from your home office, collaborating with international experts.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Build, calibrate, and validate complex 3D reservoir simulation models using industry-standard software (e.g., ECLIPSE, CMG, INTERSECT).
  • Perform detailed reservoir characterization based on geological, petrophysical, and well log data.
  • Analyze production data, well tests, and seismic information to history-match simulation models.
  • Conduct simulation studies to evaluate development options, including infill drilling, EOR techniques, and production optimization strategies.
  • Perform uncertainty analysis and probabilistic forecasting to assess project risks and potential upsides.
  • Collaborate closely with geoscientists, development engineers, and production engineers to integrate simulation results into field development plans.
  • Prepare comprehensive technical reports and presentations summarizing simulation findings and recommendations for management.
  • Stay current with the latest advancements in reservoir simulation technology and methodologies.
  • Mentor junior simulation engineers and share expertise to enhance team capabilities.
  • Contribute to the development and maintenance of company-specific simulation workflows and best practices.

Required Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Petroleum Engineering, Geoscience, or a related field.
  • A minimum of 7 years of hands-on experience in reservoir simulation, with a strong portfolio of successfully completed projects.
  • Expert proficiency in at least one major reservoir simulation software package.
  • Solid understanding of reservoir engineering principles, geology, and fluid dynamics.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with a meticulous approach to data analysis and model building.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, capable of working effectively within a remote, multidisciplinary team.
  • Demonstrated ability to manage complex projects and deliver high-quality results under demanding timelines.
  • Experience with programming languages (e.g., Python, Fortran) for data analysis and scripting is a plus.

This is a premier opportunity for a dedicated reservoir simulation expert to advance their career within a leading energy company, contributing significantly to our operational success from a convenient remote location.

Job Description

full-time
Our client, a globally recognized leader in the oil and gas sector, is seeking an accomplished Senior Reservoir Simulation Engineer for a challenging fully remote opportunity. This role is pivotal in optimizing hydrocarbon recovery and maximizing asset value through advanced simulation techniques. You will be responsible for developing, running, and analyzing complex reservoir simulations to predict reservoir performance, evaluate development strategies, and support production planning. This involves building detailed geological models, defining fluid properties, setting up simulation grids, and calibrating simulation results against historical production data. Your expertise will be crucial in identifying bypassed pay, optimizing well placement and injection strategies, and assessing the impact of various recovery methods, including enhanced oil recovery (EOR). The ideal candidate possesses a deep understanding of reservoir engineering principles, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, and numerical methods. Proficiency with industry-standard reservoir simulation software (e.g., ECLIPSE, INTERSECT, CMG) and associated pre/post-processing tools is essential. You will collaborate closely with geoscientists, production engineers, and management to provide robust technical insights and recommendations. This position demands strong analytical skills, the ability to interpret complex data sets, and excellent communication abilities to present findings clearly and concisely to technical and non-technical audiences. As a fully remote role, you must be self-motivated, highly organized, and adept at managing your workload independently. This is an exceptional chance to contribute to significant projects within the energy industry, leveraging your simulation expertise to drive operational efficiency and profitability from anywhere in the world. We are looking for a candidate who can not only execute complex simulations but also provide strategic insights that shape reservoir development plans. Your ability to model intricate reservoir behaviors and validate models against real-world data will be key. Join us and make a tangible impact on global energy production.

Responsibilities:
  • Develop, calibrate, and execute complex reservoir simulation models.
  • Analyze simulation results to predict reservoir performance and optimize production strategies.
  • Build and update geological models and define fluid flow properties for simulations.
  • Evaluate various recovery scenarios, including Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) techniques.
  • Perform sensitivity analyses and uncertainty assessments for reservoir models.
  • Collaborate with geologists and geophysicists to integrate static and dynamic reservoir data.
  • Work with production engineers to optimize well performance and field development plans.
  • Present simulation results and technical recommendations to management and stakeholders.
  • Stay current with advancements in reservoir simulation technology and methodologies.
  • Mentor junior engineers and contribute to knowledge sharing within the team.
Qualifications:
  • Master's or Ph.D. in Petroleum Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or a related field.
  • Minimum of 7 years of hands-on experience in reservoir simulation and modeling.
  • Proven expertise with industry-standard simulation software (e.g., ECLIPSE, INTERSECT, CMG).
  • Strong understanding of reservoir engineering principles, fluid flow in porous media, and thermodynamics.
  • Experience in geological modeling and data integration (e.g., Petrel, GeoViz).
  • Proficiency in data analysis and interpretation of production history.
  • Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills for technical reporting and presentations.
  • Ability to work independently and manage time effectively in a remote setting.
  • Experience with unconventional reservoirs or complex geological settings is a plus.
