RemoteRemoteEngineeringFull-time
Responsibilities
- Develop and apply reservoir simulation models to evaluate CO₂ injection performance, plume migration, pressure response, storage efficiency, and long-term containment for Class VI and Class II projects.
- Support development of Engineering Well Designs (EWDs) for CO₂ injection and monitoring wells through integrated reservoir engineering analysis.
- Provide technical reservoir engineering evaluations to support CCUS project screening, feasibility assessments, and commercial development opportunities aligned with EQT's CCUS strategy.
- Analyze and interpret field test data, injection performance, pressure transient behavior, and production response to calibrate reservoir models and improve predictive capability.
- Quantify and update CO₂ storage capacity, reserves, and resource estimates using reservoir simulation, geologic characterization, and operational data.
- Advance EQT's technical capabilities in CO₂ storage and enhanced recovery (ER) reservoir modeling through benchmarking, workflow development, and integration of industry best practices.
- Lead reservoir modeling and simulation efforts for Class II enhanced recovery projects and associated CO₂ storage in depleted Marcellus and Utica reservoirs.
- Develop static and dynamic reservoir models to evaluate injectivity, containment, pressure management, recovery performance, and long-term storage behavior.
- Generate injection and production forecasts to support well design, operational planning, workover requirements, and commercial evaluations.
- Perform reservoir engineering analyses for Class VI geologic storage projects, including pressure modeling, plume migration assessment, and storage optimization.
- Analyze and interpret results from CCUS field pilots and injection tests, including model calibration, uncertainty analysis, and technical reporting.
- Collaborate with Geoscience, Completions, and Reservoir Engineering teams to integrate data and improve subsurface understanding and model accuracy.
- Interface with external technical consultants, research organizations, and industry partners on reservoir simulation studies and subsurface evaluations.
Requirements
- Minimum of 5 years of reservoir engineering experience with demonstrated expertise in reservoir simulation, forecasting, and subsurface analysis; experience in unconventional and conventional reservoirs is preferred.
- Bachelor's degree in Petroleum Engineering or related engineering field required; Master's degree is preferred.
- Direct experience with CO₂ storage, enhanced recovery, or gas reservoir development projects preferred.
- Strong background in reservoir modeling for Class II and/or Class VI applications, including injection forecasting, pressure management, and storage capacity estimation.
- Familiarity with the Class VI permitting process/requirements and experience supporting the preparation of Class VI permit applications, including the requisite modeling and technical documentation.
- Experience with dynamic simulation tools and integrated reservoir characterization workflows.
- Experience supporting injection well design, injectivity evaluation, and workover planning.
