Heavy Oil Reservoir Engineer

What role you will play in our team

The candidate will apply advanced reservoir engineering techniques to forecast performance, guide depletion planning, and collaborate across disciplines to deliver safe, efficient, and sustainable production from our oil sands portfolio.

• Develop and maintain depletion plans for in situ thermal and solvent recovery processes (e.g., SAGD), integrating reservoir performance and facility constraints.
• Collaborate with geoscience and reservoir teams to evaluate reservoir behavior, identify enhancement opportunities, and refine development strategies.
• Conduct reservoir simulation and material balance analysis to forecast production, steam-oil ratios, solvent-oil ratios, and recovery factors.
• Lead or support the design and implementation of well workovers, stimulations, and infill drilling.
• Contribute to future development projects, including well pad design, facility expansions, and debottlenecking, ensuring alignment with depletion strategy.
• Support pilot testing and deployment of emerging technologies (e.g., solvent-assisted processes, enhanced recovery methods, digital tools).

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering required – preferably Petroleum, Chemical, or Mechanical.
• 5+ years of experience in reservoir engineering for heavy oil or oil sands assets.
• Deep understanding of thermal recovery processes and well performance analysis.
• Skilled in thermal reservoir simulation tools (e.g., CMG STARS, Petrel RE/IX, and/or equivalents) for reservoir performance forecasting and scenario analysis.
• Experience with depletion planning, reservoir surveillance, and recovery optimization.

• Demonstrated ability to work in multidisciplinary teams and manage multiple priorities.
• Excellent communication, analytical, and problem‑solving skills.

• Pension Plan:
  Enrollment is automatic and at no cost to you. The basic benefit is a monthly annuity paid to you in retirement for the rest of your life.
• Savings Plan:
  You can contribute between 6% and 20% of your pay and are encouraged to enroll right away. If you contribute at least 6%, the Company will contribute a 7% match.
• Workplace Flexibility:
  Programs such as “Flex your Day” provide ad‑hoc flexibility around when and where you work, plus longer‑term programs such as leaves of absence and part‑time work.
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision plans.
• Culture of Health:
  Programs and resources to support your wellbeing.
• Employee Health Advisory Program:
  Confidential professional counseling for you and your family, including tools and resources promoting mental health and resiliency at no additional cost.
• Disability Plan:
  Income replacement if you cannot work due to illness or injury occurring on or off the job. Enrollment is automatic and at no cost to you.
