- Develop and implement integrated reservoir management plans, including production optimization and enhanced oil recovery (EOR) strategies.
- Perform production forecasting and economic evaluations to support field development planning and investment decisions.
- Utilize reservoir simulation software (e.g., Eclipse, Petrel RE) to model fluid flow and predict reservoir behavior under various scenarios.
- Analyze well performance data, identify potential issues, and recommend corrective actions or interventions.
- Collaborate remotely with geoscientists, production engineers, and management to ensure alignment on reservoir objectives and strategies.
- Master's degree or PhD in Petroleum Engineering or a related field.
- A minimum of 10 years of experience in reservoir engineering, with a strong focus on the Oil & Gas industry.
- Proficiency in reservoir simulation software, data analysis tools, and well performance analysis techniques.
- Solid understanding of reservoir rock and fluid properties, reservoir engineering principles, and subsurface data integration.
- Demonstrated ability to work independently, manage multiple priorities, and deliver high-quality results in a remote setting.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, essential for remote collaboration.
- Highly competitive salary with performance-based incentives.
- Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance plans.
