About the role
This interview tests whether you can turn incomplete subsurface evidence into sound reservoir decisions. The panel will look for disciplined modelling, clear treatment of uncertainty and recommendations that connect reservoir behaviour to wells, facilities and value.
How to prepare
- Prepare an example where surveillance data changed your reservoir interpretation or forecast.
- Revise material balance, decline analysis, pressure transient concepts and simulation history matching.
- Choose a reserves estimate and practise explaining its assumptions, uncertainty range and governance.
- Review how you rank infill drilling, pressure support and enhanced recovery opportunities.
- Prepare to explain a complex model conclusion to non-specialist decision makers.
Common mistakes
- Presenting a model as truth without discussing data quality or uncertainty.
- Focusing on simulation settings while missing the development decision.
- Claiming reserves outcomes without explaining your own technical contribution.
