Job Level
About the role
- Lead the development of dynamic reservoir models in both saline aquifer and CO2 mineralization applications. This will include reviewing relevant academic studies and other publicly available information in order to refine model parameters and quantify uncertainty.
- Use advanced simulation software to optimize CO2 injection schemes and forecast expected CO2 plume behaviour.
- Contribute to the screening and selection of CO2 injection sites by analyzing available data and quantifying expected CO2 storage performance.
- Assess and quantify risks to long term CO2 containment, and develop monitoring programs and mitigation strategies.
- Contribute to regulatory applications for CO2 storage schemes.
- Prepare comprehensive reports and presentations summarizing reservoir modelling findings, ensuring all work is well documented for future reference and regulatory compliance.
- Stay up-to-date on the latest reservoir engineering practices and simulation tools, and contribute to the advancement of organizational reservoir engineering best practices.
- Coordinate with various subsurface team members including geologists, geophysicists, drilling/completions engineers, and MMV specialists to ensure successful implementation of CO2 storage projects.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD degree in Petroleum Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field.
- Professional Engineer designation (P.Eng) with a Canadian engineering association.
- 10+ years of engineering experience with noteworthy experience in a reservoir engineering role.
- Significant experience with at least one reservoir modeling software. Experience with advanced modeling (i.e. geomechanical, reactive-transport, etc.) would be considered an asset.
- Preference will be given to candidates experienced in injection operations and/or geological containment assurance (i.e. CCS, disposal schemes, geothermal, SAGD, etc.).
- An ability and willingness to learn new concepts and software tools.
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work with cross-functional teams and external stakeholders.
Benefits
- Opportunity to be part of cutting-edge projects in the CDR and CCS space.
- Collaborative work environment with a team of passionate and skilled professionals.
- Competitive salary, comprehensive benefits, and career development opportunities.
