Job Description
Energy Talent Search is actively recruiting a highly analytical and results-driven Reservoir Engineer for a leading onshore conventional oil and gas company based in Dallas. This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced professional eager to make a measurable impact on reservoir management and development planning while working in a collaborative, growth-oriented environment.
In this critical role, you'll apply advanced reservoir engineering techniques to evaluate field performance, optimize hydrocarbon recovery, and support long-term asset development strategies. We're seeking a proactive, detail-oriented individual with strong technical skills and the ability to deliver actionable insights that shape operational and investment decisions.
What You'll Do :
As a Reservoir Engineer, your key responsibilities will include :
- Reservoir Management : Conduct detailed reservoir studies to evaluate field performance, estimate reserves, and identify opportunities for increased recovery.
- Simulation & Modeling : Develop and maintain reservoir simulation models (black oil and compositional) to forecast production and evaluate development scenarios.
- Field Development Planning : Collaborate with geoscientists and drilling engineers to design and implement field development plans, including infill drilling, workovers, and secondary recovery projects.
- Production Optimization : Analyze well performance data, decline curves, and pressure-transient tests to recommend strategies that maximize production and efficiency.
- Economic Evaluation : Perform reserves and production forecasting, prepare economic analyses, and support investment proposals for new projects and acquisitions.
- Data Integration : Work closely with geology, drilling, and operations teams to integrate subsurface and surface data for comprehensive decision-making.
- Compliance & Reporting : Ensure reserves evaluations meet SEC and SPE-PRMS standards; prepare technical documentation and present findings to management.
- Continuous Improvement : Recommend and implement new technologies and workflows to enhance reservoir characterization and recovery efficiency.
