Reservoir Modeling & Simulation
  • Build, maintain, and update dynamic reservoir simulation models using industry-standard tools
  • Develop integrated reservoir flow models (numerical and analytical) to support forecasting and optimization
  • Perform material balance, decline curve analysis, and pressure transient analysis
  • Incorporate geophysical, petrophysical, geological, and fluid data into dynamic models
Field Development & Optimization
  • Develop field development concepts, well strategies, and operating scenarios to maximize recovery and production
  • Evaluate sensitivities, risks, and uncertainties associated with development and operational plans
  • Diagnose well and field performance and recommend production optimization and intervention strategies
  • Identify and evaluate EOR/IOR opportunities including water injection, gas lift, subsea boosting, and related technologies
Surveillance & Data Integration
  • Conduct reservoir surveillance including pressure behavior, production history, well test interpretation, and facility performance
  • Interpret PVT data and dynamic rock properties
  • Recommend and implement reservoir data acquisition and monitoring plans
  • Maintain and manage reservoir engineering databases
Cross-Functional & Strategic Support
  • Collaborate with geoscience, wells, production, and facilities teams to ensure integrated technical solutions
  • Provide reservoir engineering input to exploration opportunities and development decision packages
  • Contribute to portfolio optimization and asset value enhancement initiatives
  • Promote best practices in reservoir engineering workflows, modeling, and evaluation
Decision-Making & Advisory Role
  • Recommend reserves classifications, production forecasts, and development concepts
  • Identify opportunities to increase reserves, improve recovery, and enhance production performance
  • Provide technical recommendations supporting capital investment and operational decisions
  • Support peer reviews and internal governance processes to ensure technical rigor
Required Qualifications
Education
  • Bachelor's degree in Petroleum Engineering required
  • Master's degree or PhD preferred
Experience
  • 10 years of reservoir engineering experience in offshore or deepwater environments
