About the role

This is not a traditional job — you'll draw on your hands-on expertise in reservoir simulation, production forecasting, and reserves reporting to produce expert-level data and analytical outputs that help build AI training environments for the energy industry.

This is an ongoing, project-based opportunity you can take on alongside your current work.

Complete tasks at your own pace with no set schedule or minimum hour requirement.

Responsibilities

  • Apply your professional expertise to independently produce real analytical work outputs — such as reservoir simulation studies, SEC reserves reports, well test analyses, and production allocation calculations — in a structured, project-based format.
  • Use tools like Petrel, ARIES, Techlog, and Avocet to complete tasks the way you would in your day-to-day role.
  • Deliver expert-level work that forms the foundation of AI training datasets for energy industry applications.

Experience and education

  • 2+ years of professional experience in subsurface engineering, reservoir analysis, or production operations, in a role such as:
    • Reservoir Engineer or Reservoir Modeler / Petrophysicist.
    • Reserves Engineer (SEC reporting).
    • Petroleum Production / Well Test Engineer.
    • Production Allocation Analyst.
  • Ability to independently produce work using:
    • Petrel
    • ARIES
    • Techlog
    • Avocet
  • Hands-on experience with workflows such as reservoir simulation and production forecasting, SEC oil and gas reserves reporting, well test analysis, and production allocation calculation.
  • Bachelor's degree or higher required.
  • Strong written communication skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work independently in a remote, asynchronous environment.
