- Develop, update, and maintain static reservoir models
- Evaluate reservoir heterogeneity and identify opportunities to improve reservoir performance
- Support EOR opportunity screening, pattern surveillance, and optimization efforts
- Assess carbon storage potential while balancing reservoir value and long-term asset performance
- Provide subsurface input for abandonment evaluations, risk assessments, and SSHE-related reviews
- Support regulatory compliance activities and ensure alignment with applicable requirements
- Assist with annual volume certification for low carbon operations
- Prepare technical documentation, reserve/storage volume assessments, audit materials, and regulatory reports
- Collaborate across multidisciplinary teams, including geoscience, reservoir engineering, operations, and environmental groups
