We are one of the most profitable companies in the world, as well as amongst the top five global companies by market capitalization.

Overview

We are seeking a strong senior level reservoir engineer, with extensive unconventional reservoir experience to join our Unconventional Reservoir Engineering Department.

Your primary role should be to provide technical strategic solutions to the development of unconventional asset. To perform well evaluation, play assessments, and generate reliable production forecasts for the Company. You should work within a multi-disciplinary team consisting of geoscientists and engineers involved in the assessment and development of the specific UR assets. You will support the team with your experience in reservoir characterization and modeling, reservoir management, performance and surveillance to develop and execute a field development plan for Ultra tight and Channels sand reservoirs.

Duties & Responsibilities

  • Design and implement innovative solutions for depletion strategies, reservoir performance analysis and field development plans for unconventional resource plays.
  • Study reservoir and well performance data and develop/supervise reservoir surveillance programs and reservoir management activities.
  • Supervise and conduct comprehensive fracture modeling and simulation studies to identify optimal well spacing, completions design, unconventional reservoir management strategies and opportunities.
  • Organize and lead multi-functional peer reviews to support and improve field development design
  • Monitor operating expenses to operate and maintain wells to produce the highest volumes of oil and gas at the lowest cost.
  • Gather, perform calculations on and analyze data such as well tests, fluid levels, bottom-hole pressures, and decline curves to assure efficient producing and equipment utilization.
  • Coordinate all aspect of new completions, especially design of fracture stimulation.
  • Work closely with multidisciplinary team in planning and conducting field studies.
  • Prepare requirements for well construction, develop well designs for new wells and provide technical assistance to drilling staff to ensure that each well is completed in a safe and efficient manner.
