Technical Staff Jobs in Norway
Norway – Senior Well Engineers, Reservoir Engineers, Geologists, Geophysicists, Production Technologists
Senergy Limited is one of the longest-established and most successful subsurface and wells consultancies operating from Aberdeen, with offices in London, Kuala Lumpur and Stavanger. We have an excellent reputation and our clients include the major companies such as BP and Shell as well as independents and new-start companies. Our staff includes geophysicists, geologists, petrophysicists, reservoir engineers and well engineers who work in integrated project teams, either from our offices or within client offices. Senergy has ambitious growth plans and it is the intention of the Board of Directors to steer the company towards a public stock market flotation within 2-5 years.
On 6th July 2007 Senergy merged with PGL, another Aberdeen-based consulting company with expertise in exploration as well as development geoscience and reservoir engineering. The company also has a substantial business in software development with two products, Interactive Petrophysics™ and ODM™. Following completion of the merger the combined company now has staff of around 170 people with revenues of about £30 million.
Senergy has been working in Norway for around eigtheen months and demand for our services has exceeded expectations. We have delivered integrated subsurface field redevelopment studies for a major oil company and we are providing integrated subsurface and wells field management services for a large independent company. Our people are involved in all aspects of the business from subsurface evaluation and definition of opportunities through to detailed planning and execution of wells with full responsibility for the safe and efficient delivery of the projects.
Senergy has recently been awarded a frame contract by Petoro for the provision of subsurface support services and we announced recently the award of a contract by Noreco for the provision of drilling project management services. In addition we are aware of other companies who will require such services and will go to tender soon.
On May 2nd Kjetil Fagervik joined Senergy as Country Manager for our Norwegian business. Kjetil was previously with Schlumberger. He will have overall responsibility for the growth of the Norwegian business and we are keen to recruit other professionals to help Kjetil in this early stage in the company’s development in Norway.
We wish to grow our business by recruiting more technical people locally and by broadening our client base. Senergy views Norway as one of its most important markets for growth in the future. We need more technical people with experience in well engineering as well as in all subsurface disciplines and also in production technology. If you like to work in a smaller organisation and enjoy variety and challenging technical work then Senergy could be for you.
Senergy offers an excellent remuneration package including profit-related pay and share options to all staff in addition to a highly competitive salary.

Senior Well Engineers / Wells Team Leaders
Successful candidates will be expected to work in multidiscipline teams in the safe delivery of top quartile wells and also to support the well engineering group in a variety of well engineering related work.
Experience to include a broad development of drilling and well engineering skills gained in the offshore environment. Demonstration of working in well delivery teams will be important. The successful candidates will be degree educated in an engineering or similar discipline with both a practical and technical background with an operator or service company, plus management skills commensurate with the position applied for. For Senior and Team Leader positions an in depth knowledge of well design, risk analysis and performance delivery is required, as well as demonstrated skills in team and client management and in technical and commercial project delivery.
Proven experience as wells team leader for the delivery of wells on the Norwegian Shelf is essential as well as sound knowledge of the Norsok standards and regulations and an exemplary HSE record.
Senior Reservoir Engineers
You will provide technical and team leadership on reservoir engineering and multi-disciplinary integrated projects through the effective application of project management, peer review, quality assurance and client interaction. Work as an individual contributor will also be required.
You will be able to demonstrate good analytical reservoir engineering skills, ideally gained with an operator. Experience of dynamic reservoir modeling and operational experience are important.
Both positions require experience of at least some of the following:
- Decline Curve Analysis
- Material balance modeling
- Dynamic reservoir modeling
- Production forecasting
- Integrated asset modeling
- Analysis of PVT and SCAL data
- Welltest interpretation
- Oil and gas reservoir performance
- Some experience of Offshore Operations would be advantageous
- Experience of industry standard modeling packages including Eclipse, VIP, Petroleum Experts IPM suite, Saphir and/or PanSystem, OFM
For the Senior role you will also have experience of coaching and mentoring junior members of staff.
Senior Production Geologists

Previous geoscience workstation experience (Petrel and/or RMS) is essential.
The role will involve exposure to all phases of the asset life cycle from exploration to abandonment. Work as an individual contributor will also be required. You will have varying experience in the following;
- Petroleum system analysis including play fairway mapping and prospect generation
- Depositional processes and facies distributions in a variety of settings
- Development and production geology experience in a variety of depositional systems
- Well planning and delivery experience including knowledge of the regulatory processes and documentation
- Interpretation and integration of geological data for reservoir characterization for input into predictive and dynamic models
- 2D and 3D reservoir modeling, including deterministic and stochastic geocellular modeling techniques
- Quantification of reservoir risk and uncertainty and integration with volumetric calculations
- Decision and risk analysis
- Drilling operations
- Asset evaluation
- Experience of standard industry interpretation, mapping and modeling software with a thorough understanding of background theory
- Generating innovative and imaginative solutions
The ability to coach and mentor junior team members is also required.
Geologist/Modeler
You will act as an individual contributor within a multi disciplinary project team inputting to such areas as the building of 3D geological models using Petrel and/or RMS, quantification of reservoir risk and uncertainty, volumetric calculations, well planning, etc.
You should be able to demontrate good modelling skills preferably gained with an operator. A good understanding of integration with other sub surface disciplines is highly desirable. In addition you will have the ability to work on your own initiative and possess good written and verbal communication skills.
Geophysicist / Senior Geophysicist
We welcome applications from Geophysicist professionals who can demonstrate the following ideally gained as part of an integrated subsurface team.
