Nesco Resource
This role provides senior-level reservoir engineering expertise across reserves evaluation, dynamic modeling, field development planning, and production optimization for offshore oil and gas assets. The Senior Reservoir Engineer delivers high-quality technical analysis to support reserves growth, production forecasting, and investment decisions across the full asset life cycle—from exploration through development and production.
The position works closely with geoscience, wells, facilities, and production teams to integrate subsurface interpretations with operational data and optimize field performance in deepwater environments.
Key Responsibilities Reserves & Economic Evaluation
Prepare regulatory-compliant reserves estimates, including production forecasts, CAPEX, OPEX, abandonment costs, and economic assessments
Support reserves certification and audit processes in coordination with internal teams and third-party evaluators
Recommend reserves and resources classifications and production profiles
Reservoir Modeling & Simulation
Build, maintain, and update dynamic reservoir simulation models using industry-standard tools
Develop integrated reservoir flow models (numerical and analytical) to support forecasting and optimization
Perform material balance, decline curve analysis, and pressure transient analysis
Incorporate geophysical, petrophysical, geological, and fluid data into dynamic models
Field Development & Optimization
Develop field development concepts, well strategies, and operating scenarios to maximize recovery and production
Evaluate sensitivities, risks, and uncertainties associated with development and operational plans
Diagnose well and field performance and recommend production optimization and intervention strategies
Identify and evaluate EOR/IOR opportunities including water injection, gas lift, subsea boosting, and related technologies
Surveillance & Data Integration
Conduct reservoir surveillance including pressure behavior, production history, well test interpretation, and facility performance
Interpret PVT data and dynamic rock properties
Recommend and implement reservoir data acquisition and monitoring plans
Maintain and manage reservoir engineering databases
Cross-Functional & Strategic Support
Collaborate with geoscience, wells, production, and facilities teams to ensure integrated technical solutions
Provide reservoir engineering input to exploration opportunities and development decision packages
Contribute to portfolio optimization and asset value enhancement initiativesPromote best practices in reservoir engineering workflows, modeling, and evaluation
Decision-Making & Advisory Role
Recommend reserves classifications, production forecasts, and development concepts
Identify opportunities to increase reserves, improve recovery, and enhance production performance
Provide technical recommendations supporting capital investment and operational decisions
Support peer reviews and internal governance processes to ensure technical rigor
Required Qualifications Education
Bachelor's degree in Petroleum Engineering required
Master's degree or PhD preferred
Experience
10 years of reservoir engineering experience in offshore or deepwater environments
Strong background in complex reservoir modeling, forecasting, and reserves reporting
Experience developing field development scenarios and production strategies
Prior experience with major operators or large independents strongly preferred
Demonstrated exposure to deepwater U.S. Gulf of Mexico assets
