Sr. Reservoir Engineer

We are seeking an experienced Reservoir Engineer to join our heavy oil development team. As the Reservoir Engineer, you will play a crucial role in maintaining and updating the reservoir model and subsurface understanding for input to the field development. Experience with sandstone reservoirs, heavy oil, and ESPs is an advantage. Critical will be optimizing well bore placement to maximize hydrocarbon recovery and economic returns.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Conduct reservoir modeling and simulation studies using industry-standard software to characterize reservoir behavior, and forecast production profiles and reserves.
2. Develop and maintain reservoir models incorporating inflow control, and water injection scenarios.
3. Liaise with the subsurface team to ensure that all GGRE knowledge concerning is available to the development team as and when needed.
4. Optimize the reservoir management strategies for all stages of the development and use dynamic modeling and other assessment techniques.
5. Utilize simulation software to predict reservoir behavior under varying operational scenarios, evaluate the potential risks, and optimize injection strategies.
6. Interpret relevant subsurface data to identify reservoir characteristics, fluid properties, and potential drilling locations.
7. Collaborate with geologists, geophysicists, drilling engineers, processing engineers, and production engineers to develop integrated reservoir management plans.
8. Evaluate and recommend enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques such as water flooding, polymer flooding, and chemical treatments to improve reservoir sweep efficiency.
9. Monitor reservoir performance through production data analysis, pressure transient analysis, and surveillance techniques to identify reservoir trends and anomalies.
10. Generate technical reports, presentations, and recommendations for reservoir development, well interventions, and field optimization initiatives.
11. Stay updated with industry trends, technological advancements, and best practices in reservoir engineering to enhance operational efficiency and maximize asset value.
12. Adhere to company policies, regulatory requirements, and industry standards to ensure safe and environmentally responsible operations.

Job Requirements:

1. Bachelor's degree in Petroleum Engineering, Reservoir Engineering, or related field. Master's degree preferred.
2. Minimum of 10 years of experience in reservoir engineering roles within the oil and gas industry.
3. Experience with field development planning, reserves estimation, economic evaluations, heavy oil, and unconsolidated reservoirs is highly desirable.
4. Proficiency in reservoir engineering principles, reservoir simulation software (RFDtNav preferred), and data analysis techniques.
5. Strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret complex reservoir data and make informed recommendations.
6. Excellent interpersonal and communication skills to collaborate effectively with multidisciplinary teams and stakeholders.
7. Demonstrated ability to work independently, prioritize tasks, and meet project deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
8. Familiarity with regulatory requirements, reservoir management practices, and industry standards (e.g., SPE, API).
9. Professional certifications such as Professional Engineer (PE) or Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) certification is a plus.
10. Willingness to travel to field locations and work in challenging environments as required.
11. Broad experience with oil & gas operations in Indonesia, preferably with an operating company, and an understanding of SKKMigas, PTK007 etc.
12. Be capable of writing and communicating in both Indonesian and English.
