The engineer acts as a project manager to transform development strategies into executable drilling programs across the Permian and STX regions. They coordinate cross-functional teams across technical and operational disciplines to drive project economics and capital efficiency from concept to first production.
A Bachelor's degree in Engineering and 6 years of petroleum engineering experience are required. Candidates must be proficient in economic software and have a strong background in unconventional development planning and integration.
The Sr. Asset Development Engineer will be a member of the Asset Development team located in Denver, CO. Acting as a project manager at the center of the business, the engineer transforms development strategy into executable, capital-efficient drilling programs across the Permian and STX. The role coordinates across Reservoir Engineering, Geoscience, Drilling, Completions, Production, Facilities, Land, Planning, Finance, and Operations to keep inventory executable from concept through first production. Rather than performing detailed subsurface modeling, the engineer integrates and applies technical inputs from across disciplines to drive project economics, scenario planning, capital allocation, and sequencing decisions. This position operates under limited review while handling assignments of broad scope and moderate to advanced complexity, and requires the ability to bring clarity to ambiguity and to influence without direct authority.
Essential Roles and Responsibilities
Role-Specific Technical Knowledge & Skills
Strong development planning and integration background spanning the well life cycle from concept through first production. Fluent across reservoir engineering, drilling, completions, production, and facilities concepts, with the ability to translate technical detail from each discipline into sound business decisions rather than performing deep single-discipline analysis. Takes initiative to maintain and increase knowledge through practical application and knowledge transfer. Understands the geological, completion, and operational factors that drive unconventional development outcomes. Proficient and strong ability to learn and apply new skills and technologies. Proficient and strong use and application of standard engineering, planning, and economic principles, including industry and company standards.
Computer/Software Applications
Proficient and strong level of skill in Microsoft Office, including advanced use of Excel for data analysis, scenario evaluation, and workflow development.
Numeric and Analysis
Proficient and strong numeric and analytical skills applied to project economics, scenario evaluation, and capital efficiency. Ability to mine large data sets and build integrated views across schedule, cost, and production inputs. Constructs and interprets economic sensitivities to variations in cost, price, timing, and sequencing. Relates technical, operational, and commercial variables to identify the highest-value development outcomes and quantify trade-offs.
Demonstrated ability to structure and stress-test development plans against economic and operational assumptions. Uses analysis to support decisions on which wells to drill next, what inventory is truly executable, and how to improve capital efficiency without sacrificing long-term value.
Education
B.S. degree in Engineering is required
Typical Experience
6 years of petroleum engineering experience
