Job description

We are looking for a skilled Reservoir Engineer to support clients in maximizing reservoir performance through advanced reservoir engineering, geomodelling, simulation, and uncertainty-based modelling. The role will involve working closely with client subsurface teams, applying innovative technologies, and contributing to the development of industry-leading reservoir solutions.

Role & Responsibilities

• Conduct ensemble-based reservoir modelling and simulation studies in collaboration with clients, both internally and externally.
• Work closely with client subsurface teams in Malaysia and overseas to understand reservoir challenges and deliver practical technical solutions.
• Provide training, mentoring, and technical knowledge sharing on uncertainty-centric ensemble-based modelling workflows, reservoir engineering practices, and related technologies.
• Apply reservoir engineering and geomodelling expertise to support field development, reservoir management, history matching, forecasting, and uncertainty assessment.
• Utilise industry-standard software such as Petrel, ECLIPSE, and other reservoir modelling and flow simulation tools.
• Support the development, testing, validation, and quality control of technical solutions and software applications.
• Provide continuous technical feedback to product managers, developers, and domain experts to improve existing and future solutions.
• Collaborate with leading industry specialists, software developers, and technical experts to shape and enhance reservoir engineering products and workflows.
• Contribute to technical projects, client engagements, workshops, and knowledge-sharing initiatives.
• Maintain a strong client-focused approach, ensuring technical deliverables meet agreed quality and service expectations.
• Manage assigned workload effectively and deliver projects within agreed timelines.
• Contribute to company growth, technical capability, work practices, and overall team development.
• Be willing to travel domestically and internationally when required.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Petroleum Engineering, Reservoir Engineering, Geoscience, Geology, or a related discipline.
• Strong practical experience in Reservoir Engineering and/or Geomodelling within an E&P company, oilfield services company, or reservoir consultancy environment.
• Proven experience using Petrel and reservoir flow simulators such as ECLIPSE or equivalent industry-standard tools.
• Solid understanding of reservoir modelling, simulation, uncertainty analysis, history matching, forecasting, and reservoir performance evaluation.
• Experience with ensemble-based modelling, uncertainty-centric workflows, or assisted history matching would be highly advantageous.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities, with the ability to translate complex technical challenges into practical client solutions.
• Curious, self-motivated, and willing to continuously learn and share technical knowledge.
• Structured, proactive, and commercially aware approach to solving client and business challenges.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work effectively with technical teams and clients at different levels.
• Energetic team player with a collaborative mindset and willingness to travel.
• Programming or scripting skills, particularly Python, would be an advantage.
