Petroleum Engineer

Job Title -Petroleum Engineer

Summary

Design, develop, and optimize methods for extracting oil and gas from underground reservoirs safely, efficiently, and cost-effectively. Collaborate with geoscientists, drilling and production teams, and operations to plan wells, evaluate reservoir performance, and implement production enhancements.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and evaluate drilling and well-completion programs (vertical, deviated, horizontal) to meet production and safety targets.
• Perform reservoir engineering: estimate reserves, build and run reservoir simulation models, forecast production, and recommend recovery strategies (primary, secondary, enhanced oil recovery).
• Analyze well performance and production data; diagnose issues (water/gas breakthrough, scaling, sand production) and recommend remediation.
• Calculate well economics, perform production optimization (artificial lift, choke management), and advise on field development plans.
• Design and specify well completions, stimulation (hydraulic fracturing, acidizing), and sand-control measures.
• Collaborate on drilling operations: mud programs, casing and cement design, directional drilling plans, and well-control procedures.
• Oversee surface facility requirements for separation, gas handling, and produced water treatment related to well design.
• Conduct material and equipment selection; evaluate vendor proposals and ensure compliance with engineering standards.
• Perform risk assessments, HAZOP reviews, and ensure operations comply with safety and environmental regulations.
• Prepare technical reports, well proposals, cost estimates, and present findings to stakeholders.
• Support permitting, liaise with regulatory agencies, and ensure environmental mitigation measures are applied.

Required Qualifications

• BS in Petroleum Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or related engineering discipline.
• 2+ years industry experience (varies by level) in upstream oil & gas operations, reservoir engineering, or drilling/completions.
• Proficiency with reservoir and production engineering tools (e.g., Eclipse, CMG, OFM, Prosper, MBAL, PIPESIM).
• Strong understanding of reservoir fundamentals, wellbore hydraulics, production systems, and drilling/completion practices.
• Competence with data analysis and programming (Excel, VBA, Python, MATLAB).
• Familiarity with petroleum geology concepts and well log interpretation.
• Knowledge of health, safety, and environmental regulations and industry standards (API, ISO).
• Effective communication skills and ability to work cross-functionally.

Preferred Qualifications

• MS in Petroleum Engineering or related advanced degree.
• Experience with unconventional reservoirs, hydraulic fracturing design, or enhanced oil recovery techniques.
• Field experience in rig operations, well testing, or production surveillance.
• Familiarity with reservoir surveillance technologies (PLT, MDT), data analytics, and machine learning applications in reservoir engineering.
• Professional Engineer (PE) license or equivalent certifications.

Skills & Tools

• Reservoir simulators: Eclipse, CMG
• Production/well modeling: PIPESIM, Prosper, OFM
• Data analysis: Python, MATLAB, Excel/VBA, SQL
• Petrophysics/well logs: Petrel, Techlog (basic interpretation)
• Project management and cost estimation tools
