Key Responsibilities

• Conduct detailed reservoir characterization and performance analysis using advanced simulation software.
• Develop and implement strategies for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and optimize production from existing reservoirs.
• Evaluate potential new exploration and development opportunities, providing technical recommendations.
• Prepare comprehensive reservoir management plans and production forecasts.
• Collaborate effectively with geologists, geophysicists, and drilling engineers through virtual communication channels.
• Monitor reservoir data, track key performance indicators, and report on reservoir health and potential.

Requirements

• Master's or Ph.D. in Petroleum Engineering or a related geoscience discipline.
• Over 8 years of progressive experience in reservoir engineering , with a strong focus on reservoir simulation and modeling.
• Proficiency with industry-standard reservoir modeling software (e.g., ECLIPSE, Petrel RE).
• Demonstrated experience in hydrocarbon reserves estimation and economic evaluation.
• Exceptional analytical skills and the ability to interpret complex geological and engineering data.
• Must be able to work independently and manage time effectively in a fully remote setting.

Benefits

• Highly competitive salary with performance incentives.
• Flexible remote work schedule allowing for work-life balance.
• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance plans.
• Opportunities for international collaboration and professional growth.
• Access to cutting-edge technology and professional development resources.
