Senior Reservoir Engineer

Job Responsibilities

• Serve as a technical authority for unconventional reservoir engineering, providing guidance on well performance, spacing, and development optimization.
• Lead advanced RTA and diagnostics to evaluate DSU optimization, interference, depletion, and completion effectiveness.
• Perform and oversee PVT, pressure, DFIT, and fracture data analysis to characterize reservoir properties, stress regimes, and fracture behavior.
• Apply fracture modeling, reservoir simulation, and forecasting to support completion design, spacing decisions, and development planning.
• Leverage advanced analytics, machine learning, SQL, and structured data workflows to identify performance drivers and screen opportunities across large datasets.
• Develop and maintain Spotfire dashboards and analytical tools to support surveillance, diagnostics, and asset-level decision making.
• Provide economic evaluation and clear technical recommendations, collaborate cross-functionally, and mentor reservoir engineers while communicating insights to leadership.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Petroleum Engineering or a related engineering discipline.
• 10+ years of reservoir engineering experience, including at least 5 years focused on unconventional reservoirs.
• Demonstrated technical mastery of RTA, PVT, DFIT, CPG, fracture modeling, and reservoir simulation.
• Strong analytical capability with hands-on experience working with production, pressure, and completion data.
• Proven ability to independently evaluate complex reservoir problems and influence development decisions.
• Proficiency with industry-standard reservoir engineering tools, workflows, and data analytics.
• Effective communication skills with the ability to convey complex technical concepts to technical and non-technical audiences.

Preferred Qualifications

• Master’s or Ph.D. in Petroleum Engineering or a related engineering discipline.
• Proficiency in SQL-based data analysis and working with large, structured subsurface datasets.
• Advanced experience with Spotfire (or similar platforms) for visualization, surveillance, and analytics.
• Experience with Aries and economic evaluation.
• Experience working in the Midland Basin.
