Job description

Crescent is a differentiated U.S. energy company committed to delivering value through a disciplined, returns-driven growth through acquisition strategy and consistent return of capital. Our long-life, balanced portfolio combines stable cash flows from low-decline production with a deep, high-quality development inventory.
Crescent is a top three producer (by gross operated production) in the Eagle Ford basin. Crescent's leadership is an experienced team of investment, financial and industry professionals that combines proven investment and operating expertise. For more than a decade, Crescent and our predecessors have executed on a consistent strategy focused on cash flow, risk management and returns. Through disciplined and accretive investments, we have successfully tripled the size of our company since going public in December 2021 while maintaining a strong balance sheet.
We are seeking a Reservoir Engineer to support asset development across our unconventional portfolio, primarily within the Eagle Ford basin. This role will focus on development planning, production forecasting, and performance evaluation to optimize capital efficiency and recovery. The Reservoir Engineer collaborates across multidisciplinary teams to drive key business decisions on asset development. This role is expected to operate with a high degree of independence while maintaining a strong, team-first mentality, balancing day-to-day economic evaluations with comprehensive well performance analysis.
Key Responsibilities
  • Generate and maintain production forecasts, type curves, and development cases for assigned asset areas.
  • Evaluate well and reservoir performance using rate transient analysis (RTA), pressure transient analysis (PTA), and numerical simulation when necessary.
  • Develop recommendations related to well spacing, landing zones, completion design, and production practices.
  • Perform project-level economic analyses for the purpose of AFEs and field development utilizing ARIES.
  • Build and maintain advanced Spotfire dashboards, modifying existing scripts to dynamically analyze data on a spatial and trend basis.
  • Lead integrated lookbacks that connect reservoir performance with drilling, completion, and operating outcomes.
  • Evaluate and report competitor results detailing interpreted strategies and how it relates to internal practices.
  • Work with the Finance team on budget and long-term forecasting, consistent with the Company's development plan.
  • Foster a highly collaborative, team-first environment to build consensus across engineering, operations, finance, and commercial teams.

Required Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Petroleum Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related discipline.
  • 3-8 years of upstream operator experience, with a minimum of 2 years of dedicated reservoir engineering experience.
  • Experience in Unconventional Reservoirs.
  • Strong technical expertise and daily proficiency in ARIES for economic evaluation and decline curve analysis.
  • Proficiency in RTA software, specifically Whitson.
  • Advanced proficiency in Spotfire, with the ability to navigate and modify existing scripts to build robust data visualizations.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to work independently.
  • Proven team-first mentality with a track record of actively collaborating rather than working in silos.

Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience in the Eagle Ford basin is preferred, but not strictly required.
  • Mix of reservoir, completions, planning, production operations, or drilling experience.
  • Ability to leverage Generative AI tools for practical engineering problem-solving, data analysis, and workflow efficiency.

Benefits & Perks
  • In-office collaboration in Houston, TX.
  • Half-day Fridays.
