Experienced Heavy Oil Reservoir Engineer

Description

• Contribute to future development projects, including well pad design, facility expansions, and debottlenecking, ensuring alignment with depletion strategy
• Conduct reservoir simulation and material balance analysis to forecast production, steam-oil ratios, solvent-oil ratios, and recovery factors
• Lead or support the design and implementation of well workovers, stimulations, and infill drilling
• Develop and maintain depletion plans for in situ thermal and solvent recovery processes (eg. SAGD), integrating reservoir performance and facility constraints
• Support pilot testing and deployment of emerging technologies (e.g. solvent-assisted processes, enhanced recovery methods, digital tools).
• Collaborate with geoscience and reservoir teams to evaluate reservoir behavior, identify enhancement opportunities, and refine development strategies.
• The role is key to developing reservoir management strategies, optimizing production from thermal recovery operations, and driving the development of future oil sands projects

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in reservoir engineering for heavy oil or oil sands assets
• Deep understanding of thermal recovery processes and well performance analysis
• Excellent communication, analytical, and problem-solving skills
• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering required - preferably Petroleum, Chemical, or Mechanical
• Experience with depletion planning, reservoir surveillance, and recovery optimization
• Demonstrated ability to work in multidisciplinary teams and manage multiple priorities
• ExxonMobil is seeking a highly motivated and technically skilled reservoir engineer to support our oil sands assets
• Skilled in thermal reservoir simulation tools (e.g. CMG STARS, Petrel RE/IX, and/or equivalents) for reservoir performance forecasting and scenario analysis
