Engage your mind in powerful new ways to evaluate North America's most challenging unconventional resource plays and mature Gulf of Mexico redevelopment opportunities. We need a highly skilled and innovative Project Development Manager to join our team of senior professionals focused on crafting the next generation of reservoir-specific solutions. Year-end and long-term incentive bonuses are tied to the successful application of these solutions.

The successful candidate will lead senior multi-discipline petrotechnical teams together with subject matter experts to perform detailed field studies and seek to answer the question: "if we had the asset - what drilling and completion solutions would we seek to test, what would our field development plan be, how would the wells perform, and what would the economics look like-". Our goal is to leverage new, innovative upstream E&P technologies and best practices to evaluate and exploit large field development opportunities and to create significant improvements in recovery efficiency, well productivity, and development cost.

Target projects are in resource plays (ie: stacked tight gas sands, gas shales, naturally fractured reservoirs, and coal bed methane) and certain mature GOM fields having good potential for further development using innovative technology applied within the context of advanced geoscience interpretation and past exploitation understanding. Our clients objectives for these GOM opportunities are to identify and exploit attic oil, new fault blocks, and/or deeper pools. Initially, the primary focus for this role will be shelf GOM redevelopment project evaluations.

Candidates must have at least an undergraduate degree in Petroleum Engineering or a Geoscience discipline and a minimum of 15 years of relevant industry experience which spans the oilfield life cycle. Experience in GOM field developments is also required.

Successful candidates will be self-motivated with a high capacity for learning and for applying their skills in performing field studies and creating field development plans. They will be challenged to research critical topics pertinent to the project evaluations they are leading, to be creative, and to take advantage of everything we have to offer in terms of technology, global best practices and local knowledge in crafting each reservoir-specific solution. This will be a significant learning and professional growth opportunity since the successful candidate will lead a number of vastly different project evaluations each year in various basins in North America. Over time, the candidate will become very knowledgeable of the industry's latest technologies and solutions experience in some of the industry's hottest plays.
