Subsurface Engineer

Responsibilities:

• Analyze seismic data, well logs, and other geological and geophysical information to assess subsurface formations.
• Develop and maintain reservoir models to simulate fluid flow and predict reservoir performance.
• Collaborate with multi-disciplinary teams to design and implement enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques and other resource extraction methods.
• Conduct reservoir performance analysis and prepare technical reports that present findings and recommendations.
• Monitor and evaluate field performance and provide insights for optimizing production strategies.
• Utilize various software applications, such as reservoir simulation and geostatistics tools, to support engineering analyses.
• Assist in planning drilling programs and provide subsurface input to drilling operations.
• Stay updated on the latest technologies and methodologies applicable to subsurface engineering and resource extraction.
• Ensure compliance with environmental regulations and safety standards in subsurface operations.

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in Petroleum Engineering, Geology, Geophysics, or a related field (Master’s degree preferred).
• Several years of experience in subsurface engineering or related roles within the oil and gas industry or other relevant sectors.
• Proficiency in reservoir simulation software and data analysis tools (e.g., Eclipse, CMG, Petrel).
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to work independently and in teams.
• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, to effectively convey technical information to non-technical stakeholders.
• Knowledge of regulatory requirements, environmental considerations, and health and safety standards in subsurface operations.

Additional Skills:

• Familiarity with enhanced oil recovery technologies and techniques.
• Strong project management skills with the ability to manage multiple tasks simultaneously.
• Willingness to travel to field locations and participate in site assessments as needed.
