- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to create accurate forecasts, risk assessments, and investment-grade business cases.
- Identify opportunities for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and cost reduction while ensuring safety and regulatory compliance.
- Monitor field performance, perform decline curve analysis, and update reserves estimates and asset plans.
- Mentor junior engineers, lead technical reviews, and contribute to corporate knowledge sharing and best practices.
Qualification
- Bachelor's in Petroleum Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or a related field; Master’s preferred.
- 8+ years of reservoir engineering experience in fossil energy with onshore/offshore exposure.
- Proficient in reservoir simulation and data analytics; experience with CMG, Eclipse, Petrel, and related tools.
- Strong knowledge of EOR methods (waterflood, polymer, CO2) and mature field optimization.
- Experience with reserves estimation, decline curve analysis, P&C modeling, and forecasting.
- Excellent communication, collaboration, and project leadership skills; ability to influence cross-functional teams.
- Professional Engineer (PE) license preferred; commitment to HSE and regulatory compliance.
