About The Position

The Reservoir Engineer will develop, calibrate, and maintain reservoir simulation models to evaluate reservoir performance, forecast deliverability, and support long-term storage planning. This role involves operating with considerable latitude in performing complex reservoir engineering assignments focused on the evaluation, development, and optimization of underground natural gas storage reservoirs. The engineer will evaluate reservoir and well performance data to identify opportunities for optimizing storage capacity, deliverability, and operational efficiency. They will also design and recommend reservoir enhancements, well interventions, and performance improvement programs to maximize the reliability and value of storage assets. Additionally, the role provides technical input for reservoir development strategies, capital projects, and engineering recommendations based on sound engineering principles and economic evaluation. The engineer will review engineering analyses, reservoir studies, and simulation results to ensure technical accuracy, regulatory compliance, and adherence to company engineering standards. They will assist in coordinating multidisciplinary engineering activities between reservoir, drilling, operations, geoscience, and regulatory teams to support project execution. The position requires preparing specialized technical reports, reserve and inventory evaluations, and engineering studies to support business planning, regulatory compliance, and operational decision-making. The engineer will determine and develop engineering approaches to resolve complex reservoir performance, deliverability, and storage optimization challenges. Finally, they will conduct quantitative and qualitative risk assessments on underground storage assets, evaluating well barrier integrity, caprock soundness, and subsurface pressure limits to mitigate operational hazards, ensure environmental compliance, and support long-term asset reliability.
