• Interface with the corporate planning and asset teams to refine produced water forecasted volumes using analytical tools, as well as collaborate with asset teams on investigative projects focused on WOR trends and performance drivers
• Develop and manage reservoir surveillance tools to monitor disposal well capacity and communicate forecasts to planning and corporate risk teams
• Develop recommendations for disposal zone development plans that are supported by data and economic analysis, and communicate the status of current asset capacity to midstream partners
• Support and collaborate heavily with regulatory group on SWD permitting and operational best practices
• Build models to understand ideal spacing between SWD wells and well design
• Collaborate in data management and interpretation of volume and pressure trends in completions and injection data, as well as develop recommendations and justifications for data acquisition programs
• Assist in developing recommendations critical to the asset geology and reservoir teams for ongoing development plans
