Job Description

Senior EOR/IOR Operations Specialist

Would you like to play a key role in our business?

Are you enjoying to define, develop and provide operational support?

Join our Baker Hughes Team!

We are the leader in well construction and production. Our innovative physical and digital solutions improve efficiency, production and maximize reservoir value. Our Integrated Well Services team works onsite with our customers to support the on‑site installation, maintenance and planning of our industry‑leading products.

Partner with the best

The role requires practical knowledge of the individual products, technologies, workflows, and service lines that make up the full EOR/IOR value chain, including subsurface suitability, injectant sourcing and handling, wells, facilities, surveillance, operations, production response, commercial drivers, and execution risk.

As a Senior EOR/IOR Operations Specialist, you will be responsible for:

• Leading the screening and selection of fit‑for‑purpose recovery improvement concepts for mature fields, covering waterflood optimization, gas injection, chemical EOR, thermal methods, conformance control and hybrid approaches.

• Assessing reservoir suitability, injectant availability, facilities requirements, well deliverability, surveillance design, operational readiness, commercial value, and execution risks as one integrated system.

• Bringing first‑hand experience from EOR/IOR projects that moved beyond studies into design maturation, implementation, start‑up surveillance, and performance monitoring, including lessons learned from what did and did not work in the field.

• Understanding the technologies, chemicals, equipment, surveillance tools, injection systems and operational services needed to deliver an EOR/IOR concept. Engage the right product or technical authority during design when needed.

• Quantifying incremental recovery, production impact, uncertainty ranges, implementation risks, and value drivers for screening, ranking, and investment decision support.

• Translating EOR/IOR opportunities into differentiated technical and commercial propositions, including assumptions, execution pathways, partnership needs, and risk mitigation plans.

• Challenging recovery assumptions, benchmark analogs, guide junior specialists, and ensure EOR/IOR inputs are technically robust and decision‑ready.

Fuel your passion

To be successful in this role you will:

• Have BSc/MSc in Petroleum Engineering, Reservoir Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or related discipline.

• Have previous experience in EOR/IOR design, screening, piloting, implementation, or field optimization.

• Have 15+ years of experience in reservoir engineer or production engineering

• Have good understanding of recovery mechanisms, injection systems, facilities interfaces, surveillance strategies, and commercial value drivers.

• Be able to demonstrate ability to defend recovery concepts and investment cases with senior technical, commercial, and leadership stakeholders.
