Reservoir Engineer careers

A Reservoir Engineer manages and optimises the extraction of oil and gas from subsurface reservoirs. You might work for an energy company or a consultancy firm, focusing on evaluating reservoir performance and designing recovery strategies. Your role involves analysing geological data, creating models to predict reservoir behaviour, and implementing enhanced oil recovery techniques to maximise resource extraction.

Reservoir Engineers play a crucial role in the efficiency and profitability of oil and gas operations. You’ll need strong analytical skills and a thorough understanding of subsurface geology and reservoir engineering principles. You’ll collaborate with geologists, production engineers, and other professionals to ensure optimal reservoir management and resource utilisation.
