Job Description
Joining Fervo as a Reservoir Engineer focused on production forecasting and resource evaluation means owning the link between subsurface performance and corporate planning.
Key Responsibilities
- Production Forecasting & Long-Term Planning

- Develop and update type curves and decline/analytical models calibrated to observed field performance.
- Translate reservoir performance and subsurface uncertainty into probabilistic forecast ranges (P10/P50/P90) for planning and budgeting cycles.
- Maintain the long-range plan (LRP) production forecast in coordination with Development and Corporate Finance.
- Partner with Corporate Finance to translate reservoir forecasts into cash flow models, capital plans, and investor-facing materials.
- Support financing processes (debt/equity raises, project finance) with technical forecast inputs and asset-level due diligence.
- Economic Evaluations
- Conduct economic evaluations of new prospects, development scenarios, and capital projects, including NPV, IRR, payback, and sensitivity analysis.
- Support investment decisions with integrated technical and economic risk assessment across the portfolio.
- Evaluate development, completion, and injection strategy alternatives for capital efficiency and returns.
- Deliver clear economic recommendations to asset teams and leadership to guide portfolio prioritization.

- Provide constructive challenge and thoughtful recommendations grounded in data and engineering principles.
- Balance rigor with pragmatism in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment, including finance reporting deadlines.
- Contribute to a culture of transparency, consistency, and continuous improvement across the portfolio.
- Be responsive and reliable in remote settings, maintaining momentum without requiring constant oversight.
- Adapt quickly to shifting priorities, new data, and evolving planning cycles.

- Experience supporting Corporate Finance, FP&A, investor relations, or capital markets processes.
- Experience with third-party reserves audits or certification processes.
