Reservoir Engineer (Calgary-based)

Company Background:

GERI (General Energy Recovery Inc.) is a Canadian Energy Transition Technology company that provides enhanced heavy oil recovery solutions to simultaneously recover more oil and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. With a mission of “Recovering More, Emitting Less™”, we aim to enable producers to achieve the tricky balance of boosting oil recovery, decarbonizing at speed, and ensuring healthy returns on investments.

Our award-winning, multi-patented Direct Contact Steam Generation (DCSG) technology unlocks otherwise unrecoverable oil reserves at low carbon intensity by co-injecting a single stream of steam (or hot water) and combustion exhaust gases (CO2 and N2) into heavy oil reservoirs.

Requirements:

• Calgary-based
• Ability to work with CMG and Accumap

Core Duties

• Develop conceptual and analytical models to understand the mechanics and evaluate the performance of injecting steam (thermal) and flue gas as an enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technology
• Build, run, and interpret numerical reservoir simulations using industry-standard software (e.g., CMG STARS, Eclipse): reservoir characterization, history matching, and forecasting production performance
• Analysis and recommendations to support application screening, pilot and field scale design
• Support field performance monitoring and post-analysis
• Translate modelling outputs into technical insights for engineering, management, and external stakeholders
• Communicating with and supporting customers’ subsurface team members
• Prepare technical documentation, reports, and presentations
• Stay up to date on the latest advancements in EOR: reading industry journals, attending industry conferences and seminars

Required Qualifications

• Strong understanding of reservoir engineering fundamentals
• Strong understanding of the various types of Canadian and global oil plays and development strategies
• Strong understanding of the various EOR technologies
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Petroleum Engineering or related discipline
• Experience performing analytical modelling and engineering calculations
• Hands-on experience with reservoir simulation tools such as CMG (STARS preferred) and Accumap
• Ability to convey complex technical results to non-specialist audiences

Preferred / Advantageous Experience

• Understanding of field-level production practices and operations
• Experience with Machine Learning and data analytics
• Thermal recovery experience (SAGD, CSS, steam flood, or related processes)
• Exposure to pilot design or technology evaluation workflows

Personal Attributes

• Curiosity and willingness to understand new technologies
• Collaborative mindset in multidisciplinary environments
• Ability to iterate quickly on technical concepts
