Sr. Stimulation Chemist

Responsibilities

• Characterize how the fluid reacts with target mineral phases; dissolution behavior, reaction kinetics, and the chemistry of penetration and spending.
• Define what the chemistry implies for treatment sizing and placement, and hand those constraints to treatment design.
• Own the chemistry of spent-fluid behavior, including precipitation risk, secondary reactions, and formation-damage potential.
• Validate compatibility with co-injected fluids, production chemical programs, brines, and physical equipment.
• Define the conditions under which PetroX Boost is a viable treatment.
• Provide the technical constraints for treatment designs, such as spending rate versus target depth, precipitation thresholds, and compatibility limits.
• Support the technical evaluation of new oilfield applications for our platform as they emerge.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's or advanced degree in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, or a related field
• 10+ years of hands-on oilfield chemistry experience, with personal ownership of formulations and their performance
• Depth in one or more of: oilfield stimulation chemistry, acidizing chemistry, chelant/sequestrant chemistry, mineral dissolution, or aqueous inorganic chemistry
• Experience characterizing reaction kinetics and precipitation behavior in complex fluid systems
• Experience designing and interpreting laboratory testing, such as dissolution, compatibility, precipitation, corrosion
• Bias toward action and strong ownership; comfortable without a corporate playbook
• Strong desire to meaningfully contribute to American dynamism and the global resource supply chain

Preferred Qualifications

• End-to-end validation experience from bench to field deployment
• Experience with bio-based chemistries
• Working familiarity with the Permian, Bakken, and Eagle Ford basins and their mineralogies
• Working familiarity with production chemical programs (scale and corrosion inhibitors, biocides, demulsifiers)
• Lab experience with a leading energy operator or service company

Additional Requirements

• Willingness to work on-site in Austin, TX
• Willingness to travel to field sites, other MaverickX facilities, and industry events, as needed
• Willingness to work extended hours, as needed

Physical Requirements

• Lifting up to 50 lbs, reaching over head, bending, standing/on feet for long periods of time

General Occupational Health Requirements

• BSL2 lab operation guidelines
