CCUS Reservoir Engineer – Senior

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in California, +8 more states.

📋 Description

• Create and implement reservoir simulation models to assess CO₂ injection effectiveness, plume movement, pressure response, storage efficiency, and long-term containment for Class VI and Class II initiatives.

• Assist in the establishment of Engineering Well Designs (EWDs) for CO₂ injection and monitoring wells through comprehensive reservoir engineering analysis.

• Deliver technical reservoir engineering assessments to facilitate CCUS project evaluations, feasibility studies, and commercial development opportunities that align with EQT's CCUS strategy.

• Examine and interpret field test data, injection performance, pressure transient behavior, and production response to calibrate reservoir models and enhance predictive capabilities.

• Measure and update CO₂ storage capacity, reserves, and resource estimates utilizing reservoir simulation, geological characterization, and operational data.

• Enhance EQT's technical expertise in CO₂ storage and enhanced recovery (ER) reservoir modeling by implementing benchmarking, workflow development, and incorporating industry best practices.

• Oversee reservoir modeling and simulation initiatives for Class II enhanced recovery projects and related CO₂ storage in depleted Marcellus and Utica reservoirs.

• Construct static and dynamic reservoir models to assess injectivity, containment, pressure management, recovery performance, and long-term storage behavior.

• Produce injection and production forecasts to aid in well design, operational planning, workover requirements, and commercial assessments.

• Conduct reservoir engineering analyses for Class VI geological storage projects, encompassing pressure modeling, plume migration evaluation, and storage optimization.

• Analyze and interpret outcomes from CCUS field pilots and injection tests, including model calibration, uncertainty evaluation, and technical reporting.

• Collaborate with Geoscience, Completions, and Reservoir Engineering teams to integrate data and enhance subsurface comprehension and model precision.

• Engage with external technical consultants, research institutions, and industry collaborators on reservoir simulation research and subsurface evaluations.

⛳️ Requirements
