Summary
Reservoir engineer with 12 years on giant onshore and offshore carbonate fields in Abu Dhabi and the North Sea. I build and history-match full-field simulation models, design waterflood and CO₂-EOR schemes, and turn subsurface uncertainty into drilling decisions the asset team can act on. My last field development plan added 410 million barrels of proved reserves.

Tips for a Reservoir Engineer resume
- Put the hard requirements recruiters screen for in the top third: History matching, Waterflood & CO₂-EOR, Reserves (PRMS).
- List current credentials with the issuing body, e.g. SPE Petroleum Professional Certification, Chartered Engineer (CEng).
- Give every recent role at least one measured result — for example proved reserves added.
- Match the job title in your headline to the posting where it is honest to do so.
- Run the built-in resume checker and paste the job description into the keyword match before you download.
