About the Role
NexPro Energy is a dynamic, fully integrated independent exploration and production company with a rapidly expanding upstream portfolio in Nigeria. Our immediate strategic focus is an offshore marginal field currently preparing for first oil. We are assembling a top-tier technical team to drive production engineering and operations from initial startup through full-field development. If you are a seasoned reservoir engineer looking to make a substantial impact in the Nigerian oil and gas sector, we invite you to lead our reservoir engineering initiatives and shape the future of our offshore assets.
Key Responsibilities- Own the reservoir engineering requirements for well data acquisition, including formation pressure points, fluid sampling, and well test design, while leading subsequent data interpretation.
- Build and maintain robust reservoir performance models through the Extended Well Test (EWT) to mature reservoir understanding as new data emerges.
- Manage the field's volumetric and resource basis, successfully maturing contingent resources to reserves as commerciality is established.
- Take full ownership of production forecasting, ensuring the field economics and breakeven models remain continuously aligned.
- Lead reservoir engineering inputs for the post-first-oil Field Development Plan (FDP) and oversee ongoing reservoir management and surveillance throughout the field lifecycle.
- Bachelor's degree in Petroleum Engineering or a closely related discipline.
- Minimum of 6 years of progressive experience in reservoir engineering, with demonstrable expertise in well test or EWT interpretation, or managing a first-oil startup.
- Strong proficiency in resource and reserves classification under the SPE-PRMS framework, including commerciality tests.
- Proven ability to integrate production forecasting with financial and economic modeling.
- Exceptional analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills tailored for a fast-paced upstream environment.
- Competitive salary with attractive performance-based bonuses.
- Comprehensive medical and health insurance coverage for you and your dependents.
- Opportunities for continuous professional development and career advancement in a growing E&P company.
- A collaborative and high-performance work culture focused on innovation and operational excellence.
