Senior Petroleum Engineer - CO2 Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR)
ZipRecruiter, Houston, Texas, United States, 77246
Job DescriptionJob Description
We are a performance-driven oil & gas company focused on optimizing mature assets and unlocking value through advanced
CO2 Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR)
methods. With multiple ongoing CO2 flood projects and a robust pipeline of new opportunities, we are seeking a
Senior Petroleum Engineer
to lead the planning, execution, and optimization of our CO2 operations.
Position Summary:
As a
Senior Petroleum Engineer , you will take technical ownership of CO2 EOR projects from concept to implementation. You will guide field development strategy, mentor junior engineers, and play a key role in driving production performance and reservoir recovery using CO2 injection. This is a highly collaborative role interfacing with reservoir, production, and facilities teams.
Key Responsibilities:
Lead the design, execution, and performance monitoring of CO2 EOR projects across multiple assets.
Analyze reservoir, injection, and production data to improve sweep efficiency and CO2 utilization.
Develop and optimize injection patterns, conformance control techniques, and surveillance plans.
Recommend well workovers, recompletions, and artificial lift improvements in CO2-affected wells.
Collaborate with surface and operations teams to ensure safe and efficient CO2 injection and recycling.
Prepare and present technical evaluations, AFEs, and economic justifications for field projects.
Serve as a subject matter expert on CO2 flooding techniques, MMP, and fluid interaction behaviors.
Ensure regulatory compliance with injection permits, Class II wells, and state/federal CO2 reporting.
Qualifications:
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Petroleum Engineering or related discipline.
8+ years of upstream oil & gas experience, with
significant exposure to CO2 EOR operations .
Demonstrated expertise in miscible CO2 flooding, field development planning, and well interventions.
Experience working on mature fields with active or legacy CO2 floods (Permian Basin, Gulf Coast, etc.).
Solid understanding of CO2 surface facility requirements including compression, dehydration, and recycling systems.
Proven leadership and mentoring skills with ability to influence multidisciplinary teams.
Experience:
History matching of CO2 floods and integration with reservoir simulation
Conformance improvement techniques (gel treatments, mechanical zonal isolation).
Familiarity with ESG reporting and carbon management practices related to CO2 injection.
