Reservoir Engineer

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.

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

• Demonstrated work experience in Reservoir Engineering positions in Oil & Gas Industry
• Strong background in unconventional development economics, petroleum economics, or similar analytical discipline.
• Hands‑on experience with ComboCurve, including: Setting up and editing Econ Models, running forecasts and scenarios, and understanding curve logic, datasets, and workflows.
• Experience with other economic or forecasting tools (Aries, PHDWin, Spotfire, Power BI, etc.).
