Job Description
Job Summary
• Our client is seeking a Senior Reservoir Engineer to join their team and lead reservoir engineering initiatives focused on optimizing oil and gas reservoir performance.
• This role is within a dynamic upstream oil and gas operator managing diverse reservoir environments and complex field development projects.
• The Senior Reservoir Engineer will conduct reservoir modeling and simulation studies, develop field development plans, and provide technical guidance to maximize recovery and economic outcomes.
• Collaboration with multidisciplinary teams and management of reservoir-related budgets and cost optimization are key aspects of the position.
• Candidates can expect to engage in advanced reservoir management strategies, contribute to commercialization efforts, and play a pivotal role in driving operational efficiency and innovation.
Responsibilities
• Lead reservoir engineering activities to assess, analyze, and optimize oil and gas reservoir performance, ensuring alignment with strategic field development goals.
• Conduct advanced reservoir simulation and modeling studies to accurately predict reservoir behavior, production rates, and long-term performance.
• Develop, implement, and continuously refine reservoir management strategies aimed at maximizing recovery, minimizing costs, and enhancing production efficiency.
• Design and optimize comprehensive field development plans, including drilling programs, well completion strategies, and production forecasting.
• Prepare timely and accurate quarterly production volume forecasts and reservoir engineering inputs to support economic evaluations and asset development decisions.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with geologists, geophysicists, petrophysicists, production technologists, and other operational teams to deliver integrated reservoir optimization solutions.
• Perform reserve and resource estimations and reporting in compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements.
• Monitor ongoing reservoir performance, identify optimization opportunities, and recommend interventions to improve recovery and operational efficiency.
• Lead technical reporting, presentations, and communication of reservoir engineering findings and recommendations to senior management and stakeholders.
• Provide mentorship and technical guidance to junior engineers and reservoir teams, fostering professional development and adherence to best practices.
• Manage reservoir engineering budgets, including software, testing, and data acquisition costs, while identifying opportunities for cost optimization.
• Conduct economic evaluations and cost-benefit analyses of reservoir management strategies and development plans to maximize net present value (NPV) and internal rate of return (IRR).
Qualifications
Required Qualifications:
• Bachelor’s Degree in Petroleum Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or a closely related discipline
• 8-12 years of reservoir engineering experience, including at least 8 years in senior or leadership roles within major international oil and gas organizations
• Professional Engineering (PE) License or equivalent certification demonstrating formal training and competency
• Proven expertise in reservoir simulation and modeling using industry-standard software such as ECLIPSE, CMG, or PETREL
• Extensive experience in reservoir management, field development planning, well intervention, and surveillance across diverse reservoir types (conventional, unconventional, offshore, mature fields)
• Strong techno-commercial acumen with demonstrated ability to support hydrocarbon field commercialization and development planning
• In-depth knowledge of reservoir engineering fundamentals including fluid dynamics, rock-fluid interactions, pressure transient analysis, well testing, and production optimization techniques
• Proficient in economic evaluation and financial modeling of reservoir development scenarios to maximize net present value (NPV) and internal rate of return (IRR)
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to convey complex technical information effectively to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Demonstrated leadership capabilities, including mentoring junior engineers and leading multidisciplinary teams.
Preferred Qualifications:
• Post-graduate degree in Petroleum Engineering or related field
• Experience managing multiple complex projects simultaneously, ensuring alignment with organizational objectives, timelines, and budgets
• Familiarity with industry standards, regulations, and best practices in reservoir engineering
• Proven track record of technical contributions through publications or mentoring programs
• Strong project management and planning skills
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office suite and additional reservoir engineering software tools
• Commitment to health, safety, and environmental standards in engineering operations
• Personal attributes including problem-solving mindset, attention to detail, adaptability, teamwork orientation, and effective communication.
What We Offer
• Comprehensive professional development opportunities, including mentorship and technical guidance to support career progression toward leadership and commercial roles.
• Collaborative and multidisciplinary work environment fostering integration across subsurface, facilities, well engineering, and operations teams.
• Access to advanced reservoir engineering tools and software, enabling hands-on experience with industry-leading technologies.
• Commitment to health, safety, and environmental standards, ensuring a safe and responsible workplace.
• Exposure to complex and diverse reservoir environments, providing challenging and rewarding technical experiences.
• Opportunities to contribute to strategic field development and commercialization projects with significant impact on company growth.
• Supportive culture that values effective communication, teamwork, and continuous learning.
