Reservoir Engineer

Reservoir Engineer / Advisor I

The Reservoir Engineer / Advisor I supports Reservoir Leadership in driving high technical standards, reservoir performance, and development planning across oil & gas assets. This role focuses heavily on reservoir simulation, depletion planning, economic modeling, and scenario forecasting, with strong cross-functional collaboration across engineering, planning, geology, and finance.

This is an office-based Houston role (M-F 5/2) supporting unconventional development economics and reservoir evaluations with no travel required.

Responsibilities

1. Lead and support dynamic reservoir simulation studies and depletion planning
2. Build and maintain custom economic models in ComboCurve
3. Run well, pad, and asset-level forecasts and scenario economics
4. Execute sensitivities, price cases, timing changes, and inventory modeling
5. Align CAPEX, OPEX, fiscal structures, and corporate assumptions
6. Automate and improve economic workflows for repeatability
7. Work closely with reservoir, geology, planning, and finance teams
8. Translate development plans into economic results
9. Support ad hoc modeling requests and leadership presentations
10. Perform PVT, inflow/outflow, relative permeability, SCAL, and performance evaluations
11. Assess development strategies, risks, and technical uncertainties
12. Support asset acquisition and development planning decisions
13. Mentor junior reservoir engineers
14. Prepare technical documentation, reports, and presentations
