About this role

Lead Reservoir Engineer

Responsibilities

Reporting directly to the Managing Director, you will:

  • Own the reservoir engineering requirements for well data acquisition — formation pressure points, fluid sampling and well test design — and lead the interpretation that follows

  • Build and maintain the reservoir performance model through the Extended Well Test, and mature the reservoir understanding as the data set grows

  • Own the field's volumetric and resource basis, maturing contingent resources to reserves as commerciality is established

  • Take ownership of the production forecast and keep the field's economics and breakeven model aligned to it

  • Lead the reservoir engineering input into the post-first-oil Field Development Plan, and own reservoir management and surveillance through field life.

  • What we are looking for

  • Degree in Petroleum Engineering or a related discipline

  • 6+ years in reservoir engineering, including a well test or EWT interpretation, or a first-oil start-up

  • Resource and reserves classification under SPE-PRMS, including the commerciality tests that move volumes to reserves

  • Production forecasting tied into an economics model.
