Don’t have all the qualifications listed? That’s ok! Apply anyway. We acknowledge the value of transferrable skills.
Responsibilities:
- Use SLB Intersect simulation software to support greenfield SAGD development. Example applications of simulation include but are not limited to: quantifying/managing reservoir fluid impairments, understanding regional migration of pressure and fluid, injection of non-condensable gas and solvent, coupled wellbore modeling, and geomechanical modeling
- Create and optimize SAGD development plans at the pad and field level.
- Provide surface design parameters with appropriate uncertainty ranges to support engineering studies
- Create and improve SAGD forecasting tools and workflows (deterministic and probabilistic)
- Develop winter program drilling and testing plans and support field execution
- Conduct various analyses and studies related to water disposal, caprock, aquathermolysis, carbon sequestration, and other subsurface engineering topics
- Support regulatory application and amendments
Location and other Key Details:
- You will work out of our Calgary head office, located in the Suncor Energy Centre at 150 – 6th Ave S.W.
- Hours of work are a 40-hour work week, Monday to Friday
