Reservoir Engineer - GOM
Houston, TX
As a Reservoir Engineer you will be tasked with providing technical proficiency in the areas of reservoir
engineering, reserves management and economic evaluations. You will be a member of a team to
develop drilling, recompletion and workover projects in the Gulf of Mexico fields that are owned and
operated by our client. The team will consist of a reservoir engineer, a geoscientist, a production
engineer and a landman.
Your main responsibilities will be involving reservoir characterization, well performance analysis,
petrophysical evaluations, volumetric and decline curve analyses and project economics. Perform
engineering analysis and make recommendations in collaboration with the team regarding strategy,
implementation and execution as it relates to development and exploitation opportunities. The
objective of the team is to optimize value by enhancing reserves and production rates from existing
fields.
Additional duties include coordinating AFE preparation for the team, budget forecasting and variance
reporting for the assigned fields, participating in acquisition teams as opportunities are evaluated, and
providing technical expertise for year-end reserve assessments.

Cased hole logs (production type and PNC type). PNC log analysis skills a plus.
Open hole logs for new wells (types). Open hole log analysis skills a plus.
Coring (conventional or SWC) and core testing to be done for new wells.
PVT data and types of analysis to be done.
Bottom hole pressures (Static, flowing, build-ups, drawdowns, etc.). PTA skills a plus.
Well completion stimulation jobs (acid, CTCO, scraping).
Recompletions to new zones/reservoirs (production profile & economics).
Workovers to repair/enhance existing completions (production profile & economics).
Reservoir bookings (adds, edits, cuts) using DCA, type curve analysis, pore volumetrics, material
balance, and simulation using new information from production, logs, and pressure data.
Annual capital budget (timing, work type required, production profile, economics).
New completions (types – i.e. gravel pack, frac-pack, etc.).
