Asset Reservoir Engineer

Job Type

Full-time

Description

The Asset Reservoir Engineer will be responsible for providing reservoir engineering analysis to support Fervo Energy's geothermal development activities. This position will play a key role in shaping the development strategy, evaluating reservoir performance, and improving capital efficiency across Fervo's growing project portfolio. Responsibilities will include asset development planning, economic evaluations, reservoir simulation to perform history matching, production forecasting, well completion and stimulation treatment design optimization, and reservoir management optimization. The Asset Reservoir Engineer will design and implement well testing, reservoir monitoring, and other data acquisition programs to continuously improve Fervo's field operations.
