The goal of this work is to ensure development plans reliably deliver on forecast at an attractive economic outcome. Foundational to development planning is reservoir characterization and definition of the drainage pattern as it relates to hydraulic fracture design and well spacing. Success in this role also depends on an understanding of reservoir engineering fundamentals, basic data analytics, consumption and management of large datasets and machine learning principles. The ideal candidate will be comfortable leading an assessment of well spacing and hydraulic fracture design for an area and using that assessment to develop type curves, economics, and a development plan recommendation. This role will develop technical strategy for evaluations the entire team conducts. The ideal candidate has a deep technical background and the ability to be a thought-leader on the team. This role also performs tasks such as but not limited to lookbacks on prior projects, minor in-basin acquisitions, and well testing / data gathering design and project management.
