  • Collaborate with surface and operations teams to ensure safe and efficient CO2 injection and recycling.

  • Prepare and present technical evaluations, AFEs, and economic justifications for field projects.

  • Serve as a subject matter expert on CO2 flooding techniques, MMP, and fluid interaction behaviors.

  • Ensure regulatory compliance with injection permits, Class II wells, and state/federal CO2 reporting.

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Petroleum Engineering or related discipline.

  • 8+ years of upstream oil & gas experience, with significant exposure to CO2 EOR operations .

  • Demonstrated expertise in miscible CO2 flooding, field development planning, and well interventions.

  • Experience working on mature fields with active or legacy CO2 floods (Permian Basin, Gulf Coast, etc.).

  • Solid understanding of CO2 surface facility requirements including compression, dehydration, and recycling systems.

  • Proven leadership and mentoring skills with ability to influence multidisciplinary teams.

Preferred Experience:

  • History matching of CO2 floods and integration with reservoir simulation 

  • Conformance improvement techniques (gel treatments, mechanical zonal isolation).

  • Familiarity with ESG reporting and carbon management practices related to CO2 injection.
