Senior Reservoir Engineering Advisor- Deepwater

DESCRIPTION:

DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Develop and optimize field development plans, integrating reserve estimates, production forecasts, and identification of risks, opportunities, and new drill targets with an emphasis on deepwater fields.
• Conduct advanced field studies using fit-for-purpose reservoir engineering tools from classical techniques to simulation to support development and exploitation opportunities.
• Perform reservoir surveillance techniques such as decline curve, pressure transient, and material balance analysis.
• Generate probabilistic and deterministic reserve/resource estimates, incorporating uncertainty and risk to guide investment decisions.
• Perform detailed economic evaluations of complex opportunities, including decision trees, probabilistic reserves, project risking, and incremental value analysis.
• Lead multi-disciplinary teams across subsurface, drilling, completions, and commercial functions to ensure timely and high-quality project execution.
• Drive technical assurance through peer reviews and external evaluations of drill prospects and acquisition opportunities.
• Communicate technical recommendations clearly to stakeholders including management, partners, and regulatory agencies through reports and presentations.
• Mentor junior engineers and foster technical excellence across the reservoir engineering discipline.
• Evaluate and recommend new software tools to enhance engineering workflows and efficiency.
• Support ad hoc cross-functional initiatives and requests across the organization.
