The Reservoir Engineer is responsible for maximizing hydrocarbon recovery and optimizing reservoir performance across operated and non-operated assets. The role involves reservoir evaluation, production forecasting, simulation modeling, reserves estimation, and technical support for development planning and investment decisions.

Responsibilities:

• Prepare, update, and manage the daily production database for operated and non-operated fields.
• Analyze production performance and recommend strategies to optimize hydrocarbon recovery throughout the project lifecycle.
• Conduct variance analysis of actual production versus forecast and budget.
• Perform reserves evaluation for exploration and development leases using volumetric and static methods.
• Apply Decline Curve Analysis (DCA) for reserves booking and production forecasting.
• Conduct material balance calculations for oil and gas reservoirs to support reservoir management decisions.
• Assist in the development of short-term and long-term production forecasts and budgets.
• Design and interpret Pressure Transient Tests (PTA), including drawdown, buildup, and deliverability analysis.
• Perform PVT analysis and nodal analysis for operated and non-operated wells/fields.
• Identify favorable hydrocarbon zones for perforation and re-perforation using open-hole and cased-hole log data.
• Witness and supervise onsite data acquisition activities such as DST, PLT/PSP, BHP surveys, and surface well testing.
• Build, run, and update reservoir simulation models using industry-standard simulators.
• Support integrated reservoir studies to optimize well placement, timing, compression strategies, and enhanced recovery schemes.
• Provide simulation-based input for Field Development Plans (FDPs) and investment proposals.
• Assist in preparation of development plans, production profiles, and economic evaluations for investment proposals.
• Evaluate farm-in opportunities and potential asset acquisitions.
• Support planning of future operations and assess resources required to execute development strategies.
• Prepare reservoir engineering sections for Documents of Compliance (DOCs), Field Development Plans (FDPs), well completion reports, and other technical documentation.
• Prepare and deliver reservoir management presentations in Technical Committee Meetings and Workshops.
• Support management in preparation of technical and corporate presentations.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Petroleum Engineering (Master’s degree preferred).
• 5–8 years of relevant experience in reservoir engineering (experience level may be adjusted based on organizational needs).
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Good communication and presentation skills.
• Ability to work collaboratively in multidisciplinary teams.
