  • Technical Expertise: Proficiency in reservoir simulation software (e.g., CMG, Eclipse, Petrel RE) and production analysis tools (e.g., OFM, Aries).

  • Industry Knowledge: Solid understanding of fluid flow in porous media, reserves classification, and economic evaluation.

  • Analytical Skills: Exceptional quantitative and problem-solving abilities, with the ability to synthesize complex data into actionable recommendations.

  • Collaboration: Strong interpersonal and communication skills, capable of working effectively with multidisciplinary teams.

  • Detail-Oriented: Commitment to accuracy, compliance, and best practices in all engineering deliverables.
