This role is responsible for building and owning supply forecasts; integrating data from multiple sources; generating insights that inform capital allocation, commercial decisions, and long‑range planning; and collaborating with the Commercial and Business Development teams to ensure that analyses and outputs support their building plans, priorities and actions. The successful candidate will combine strong analytical capabilities with a deep understanding of energy markets to translate complex data into clear, decision‑ready insights which will directly influence the company’s growth.
You will:
Build and maintain a long‑term WCSB supply forecast model for liquids and gas
Develop bottom‑up WCSB oil and gas production forecast models incorporating upstream activity, well breakeven prices, reservoir life, and basin dynamics
Create and maintain proprietary delineations and well type curves for the key WCSB resource plays
Aggregate and reconcile data across multiple sources, including internal and third‑party datasets, to develop a “single source of truth” for supply
Develop multiple supply scenarios to assess the impact of upstream development plans, infrastructure buildout, and commodity pricing signals
Gather market intelligence on planned upstream oil and gas drilling activities through reviewing company press releases and presentations
Stay informed on technological advancements in resource extraction techniques and industry regulatory changes to help guide forecasting assumptions
Maintain databases and tools that underpin ongoing forecasting and strategic work
Partner with the Commercial and Business Development teams to align forecasts with real‑world insights and to support growth opportunities
Support executive decision‑making on capital allocation and long‑range planning by developing clear and compelling materials to communicate forecasts and insights
Work on other related forecasting and analytical deliverables as they arise in the normal course of business
You have:
10+ years of experience in upstream, midstream, energy, or related analytical roles (e.g., strategy, planning, commercial, research, or consulting)
Strong understanding of the WCSB and North American oil and gas industry
Familiarity with key industry data sources (e.g., AER, BCER, Petrinex, CER, and third‑party forecasters such as Wood Mackenzie)
Advanced Excel skills with demonstrated experience building complex, bottom‑up models (production, supply‑demand balances, or financial models)
Strong organizational skills with the ability to own and manage multiple priorities in a fast‑paced environment
Strong quantitative and critical thinking skills with the ability to identify inconsistencies, investigate root causes, and develop solutions
Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to present complex topics clearly and concisely
Proven ability to work cross‑functionally and at building strong relationships
Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Finance, Economics, or a related field
P.Eng., CFA, MBA, or other relevant advanced designation is considered an asset
