| Description | The Senior Reservoir Engineer will work within a senior, multi-discipline petrotechnical team to develop and apply advanced reservoir engineering techniques in support of the evaluation and development of potentially large, yet challenging oil and gas field development projects for potential investment by company. Target projects for company involvement are typically located in resource plays (ie: tight gas, fractured shales, and coal bed methane) or mature fields having significant subsurface control, 3D seismic and/or other data that will benefit from detailed reservoir evaluation and advanced E&P technology. The Senior Reservoir Engineer will support prospect evaluation work by providing historical offset well performance evaluation (production decline curve analysis), determination of reservoir rock and fluid properties, deterministic as well as probabilistic in-place hydrocarbon volumetric calculations, static reservoir modeling, dynamic reservoir simulation, well test analysis, field (re-)development planning, recommendations for production enhancement, EUR / recovery efficiency analysis, forecasts of future production performance, preliminary economic analysis, and other work related to reservoir understanding / development. Additional responsibilities for this role include supporting senior management in defining standardized, best practice processes to support the systematic yet efficient and effective evaluation, well engineering, and field development planning work required as part of the project development process. The role will participate in formal brainstorming workshops with other key company technical resources in an environment that promotes innovation and input from all participants. Over time, the candidate will become very knowledgeable of company technologies and solutions experience together with what exploitation methodologies and technologies are being applied by other companies. In the process, the role will develop close working relationships with key technical and managerial staff working in various parts of company as well as with partner companies. | ||
| Skills | Successful candidates must have at least an undergraduate degree in Petroleum Engineering and a minimum of 15 years of relevant industry experience. Completion of a graduate degree in Petroleum Engineering and/or certification as a Licensed/Chartered Professional is preferred. Experience working in multi-disciplinary technical teams and leadership level abilities in the area of performing reservoir engineering analysis in various oil and gas field environments specifically including mature field re-developments (ie: Gulf of Mexico) and unconventional plays (ie: tight gas sands, fractured oil and gas bearing formations including carbonates, tight sandstones, and shales, and coal bed methane) is required. Ideally, the successful candidate will have knowledge of reservoir engineering software from Landmark Graphics with expert level skills in using Aries (decline curve, P/Z, & economic analysis), DSS (production surveillance) and VIP / Nexus (reservoir simulation). Also, skills in running Landmark's GeoGraphix product suite are preferred. Strong software skills in Excel / Access / SpotFire / Crystal Ball (raw data analysis), MBAL (material balance), Saphir (well test analysis), and WelFlo (nodal analysis) will also be a benefit. | ||
