Job description
Join a premier energy company focused on sustainable fossil energy solutions in the heart of Houston. We are seeking a Senior Fossil Energy Engineer to lead advanced reservoir engineering, production optimization, and CCUS initiatives across multiple onshore and offshore assets.
In this role, you will partner with geology, drilling, facilities, and safety teams to translate complex data into actionable development plans, ensuring economic excellence while maintaining the highest safety and environmental standards.
We offer a premium, high-impact environment where innovation, collaboration, and career growth are rewarded.
What you will do and What we value are outlined in the responsibilities and qualifications sections.
Responsibility
- Lead reservoir engineering and production optimization for fossil energy assets using industry-standard tools such as Eclipse, CMG, and Petrel.
- Develop dynamic reservoir models, perform history matching, and generate credible forecasts to guide development decisions.
- Quantify reserves in accordance with SPE PRMS and regulatory requirements; prepare asset-level economic evaluations and risk assessments.
- Collaborate with geology, drilling, facilities, and EHS teams to optimize field development plans and facilities design.
- Analyze production data, facility constraints, and commodity prices to maximize asset value and minimize operating costs.
- Steer CCUS initiatives by evaluating CO2 injection strategies, monitoring plans, and regulatory compliance.
- Mentor junior engineers, lead technical reviews, and present results to executive stakeholders and external partners.
- Maintain a strong safety culture and ensure adherence to environmental standards across all projects.
Qualification
- Bachelor's degree in Petroleum Engineering or a closely related field; Master's preferred.
- Minimum 7 years of experience in reservoir engineering within fossil energy environments (oil and gas, CCUS projects).
- Proficiency with reservoir simulation tools (Eclipse, CMG, Petrel) and programming in Python/MATLAB.
- Strong understanding of reserves estimation, probabilistic decline curve analysis, and PRMS guidelines.
- Experience with asset development planning, production forecasting, and risk analysis; excellent communication skills.
- Knowledge of CCUS technologies, regulatory requirements, and HSE practices; willingness to travel as needed.
- Self-motivated, collaborative leader with the ability to influence cross-functional teams and mentor more junior staff.
