Job description

Responsibilities

Reservoir engineering specialist position responsible for maximizing the value of company assets through reserve and production growth. Duties include technical evaluation of prospects and producing properties, project economics, well and reservoir surveillance functions, and SEC reserve evaluation. Evaluations on selected properties assess potential, predict reservoir performance, evaluate completion strategies, and optimize future depletion and development plans. Such evaluations may include pressure and rate transient analysis, fracture optimization, decline curve analysis, nodal analysis, material balance calculations, well and reservoir modeling, EOR studies, and economic analysis. Some operational and stimulation knowledge is preferred. Presentations to senior management are required.

Qualifications

Must have a BS in Engineering, preferably Petroleum Engineering. Must have 9+ years of reservoir engineering experience in the oil & gas industry. Less experience may be considered with an advanced degree in Petroleum Engineering. Must have a strong technical background in reservoir engineering including decline curve analysis, material balance, volumetrics, EOR studies, pressure transient analysis, nodal analysis, etc., and a good understanding of geology. Some petrophysical analysis skills and reservoir simulation knowledge are helpful. Must have working knowledge of commercial oil and gas economics software. Experience with Aires for Windows is preferred. Able to accomplish tasks with minimal supervision. Must have good presentation, communication, and technical writing skills. Must have good interpersonal skills, with the ability to work with multi-functional teams. Must be self‑motivated and able to prioritize projects.
