Reservoir Engineer at Myrtle Management Consultants

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Inspecting the structural integrity of reservoirs, including reviewing water quality samples and inspecting for construction defects or damage due to natural disasters
• Conducting tests on new designs to ensure that they meet safety standards or are structurally sound
• Evaluating water quality in reservoirs to detect contamination by harmful bacteria or other pathogens
• Monitoring the status of equipment located at the reservoir site, such as pumps or valves
• Coordinating with other engineers to ensure that designs meet construction requirements
• Consulting with local government agencies to help plan for future growth in population or industrial activity
• Conduct reservoir surveillance and monitoring to evaluate well and reservoir behavior.
• Analyze and interpret reservoir data, including well logs, production data, and pressure transient analysis, to make informed recommendations.
• Collaborate with geoscientists, drilling engineers, and production engineers to integrate geological and engineering data for comprehensive reservoir understanding.
• Provide technical expertise in reservoir management, reservoir modeling, and well performance analysis.
• Evaluates costs and estimates the production capabilities and economic value of oil and gas wells, to evaluate the economic viability of potential drilling sites
• Perform economic evaluations and risk assessments to support decision-making processes.
• Mentor and guide junior engineers, fostering a collaborative and knowledge-sharing environment.
• Stay abreast of industry trends, emerging technologies, and best practices in reservoir engineering.
