Simulation Engineer

About the position:The Senior Reservoir Simulation Engineer performs reservoir engineering and simulation studies for Chevron's worldwide operations across various asset classes, while mentoring and training less experienced engineers. The successful applicant will support field development and base business activities in business units by providing history matching and optimization studies, uncertainty assessment, and probabilistic production forecasts including various recovery mechanisms (primary, EOR and IOR). The successful candidate will be working alongside the earth scientists and other disciplines to develop depletion plans, estimate reserves, and development alternatives for various fields. Continuous engagement with business units and chevron technical center is expected.Key Responsibilities:Performs reservoir engineering and simulation studies for Chevron operations; the studies may include building new or updating existing simulation models in collaboration with the Earth scientists. They may also include, history matching production and pressure data for existing assets and prediction future performanceDevelop asset development plans for studied assets and proposed depletion plans including well type/count, depletion mechanisms, and othersSupports field development and base business activities in business units by providing history matching and optimization studies, uncertainty assessment, probabilistic production forecasts including various recovery mechanisms (primary, enhanced oil recovery and improved oil recovery), using tools like Petrel-RE, INTERSECT and IPM suiteThe senior simulation engineer should have sufficient experience and expertise to coach and mentor others in the team on simulation fundamentals and principles and to grow expertise in IXRequired Qualifications:BS and MS in Petroleum Engineering or other engineering disciplineHands-on experience with probabilistic production forecasting, history matching, and optimization studies, ensuring robust and reliable production forecastsProven proficiency in industry-standard simulation tools, such as INTERSECT, Petrel-RE and the IPM suite, with a demonstrated ability to quickly learn and adapt to Chevron's simulation tools and workflowsSufficient experience and expertise to coach and mentor others in the team on simulation fundamentals and principles and to grow expertise in INTERSECTUnderstanding of subsurface - surface production network coupled modelingExcellent communication skills, both written and verbal, facilitating effective collaboration and consensus-building within multi-disciplinary teamsPreferred Qualifications:Hands on experience in various asset classes, including deepwater and shale, providing a broad understanding of different reservoir types and challengesExperience in technical course development and delivery, showcasing strong instructional and mentoring capabilitiesExpertise in Data Sciences, including the development and application of machine learning algorithms, to enhance reservoir characterization, optimize production forecasting, and improve decision-making processesChevron ENGINE supports global operations, supporting business requirements across the world.
