About the Job

Requirements

  • A Master's, Dual Degree, or PhD from a recognized university in petroleum, chemical, mechanical, or another relevant engineering discipline.
  • At least 3 years of experience in computational or reservoir simulation.
  • At least 3 years of experience in the upstream oil and gas industry.
  • Strong analytical skills to evaluate critical operating parameters through data and trend analysis.
  • For petroleum engineers, knowledge of basic reservoir engineering concepts, including reservoir simulation, analytical performance prediction, and economics metrics.
  • A good fundamental understanding of or experience in fluid mechanics, porous media flow, and computational fluid dynamics.
  • Hands-on experience using proprietary or vendor engineering analysis tools and software applications appropriate to the corresponding engineering discipline.
  • For petroleum engineers, experience using reservoir (flow) simulation software such as Eclipse, Petrel RE, Intersect, tNavigator, CMG, or equivalent is required.

Responsibilities

  • Build computational models and simulations using proprietary and vendor tools to develop new technologies, enhance design and operational practices, and address evolving business needs.
  • Build or update high-fidelity reservoir simulation models, history-match using available field data, and forecast dynamic predictions using calibrated models.
  • Perform data quality assurance and quality control, correct anomalies, and analyze trends to recognize deviations and inconsistencies.
  • Interpret field experimental data, including distributed acoustic sensing, pressure, and tracer data, and generate data-driven insights to evaluate technologies and provide inputs to business decisions.
  • Conduct fit-for-purpose reservoir simulation analysis to predict dynamic performance and provide technical inputs for decisions such as workovers, infill drilling, facility capacity and operational thresholds, field development, and reserves estimation.
  • Quantify subsurface uncertainties using multi-scenario modeling methods.
  • Conduct research and development on new technologies, methods, or best practices using simulation models to provide engineering design recommendations for business decisions.
  • Work with global business units and central capability groups to integrate geologic, reservoir, and production data into reservoir simulation models, and conduct or coordinate reservoir studies to assess dynamic performance of conventional, heavy oil, unconventional, and carbon storage reservoirs.
  • Collaborate as needed with geologists, wells and completion engineers, data scientists, and petrophysicists to ensure that uncertainty in dynamic performance predictions is presented to management.
  • Support the evaluation and enhancement of reservoir simulation workflows, tools, and technologies.
  • Prepare technical reports sharing results and analysis of simulation studies with internal and external stakeholders.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience in data science or machine learning is an added advantage.
  • Experience in computational or data science, such as computational fluid dynamics, 3D modeling, machine learning, and optimization.
  • Experience in one or more programming languages such as MATLAB, C, or Python is an advantage.
  • Experience working in Tableau and Power BI is an advantage.
  • Experience working on problems related to enhanced oil recovery, reservoir engineering, geomechanics, or fracture mechanics is preferred.
  • Mentorship and team leadership experience is an added advantage.

About the Company

ExxonMobil

Produces oil, gas, fuels and chemical materials

ExxonMobil produces oil and natural gas and manufactures fuels, lubricants, and chemicals for transport operators, industrial customers, and consumers around the world. Its businesses span resource exploration and production, refineries that turn crude oil into fuels, and plants that make plastics and other chemical materials. The company sells products through wholesale supply agreements and the Exxon, Esso, and Mobil brands, including motor oils for vehicles and machinery. It also sells services that capture, transport, and store industrial carbon dioxide underground. The merged company formed in 1999 from Exxon and Mobil, with roots in earlier oil businesses, and is headquartered in Spring, Texas.
