Comfortable interpreting technical data and adept at numerical or analytical problem-solving. Curiosity for complex, real-world operational challenges and connecting data to practical decisions. Nice to have A self-starter who takes ownership of your own learning and development, demonstrating curiosity and a structured approach to problem-solving. A collaborative team player who actively shares knowledge and contributes to a shared mission, comfortable breaking down complex problems and asking thoughtful questions. An adaptable mindset, open to working across a wide range of technical disciplines and comfortable with uncertainty and incomplete information. A drive to continuously improve processes, questioning the status quo to find better solutions, particularly through digital tools and scripting (e.g., Python, MATLAB, Excel/VBA). Clear and concise communication skills, ready to engage with teams in the office and where applicable, with offshore teams. Experience with internships, summer jobs, thesis work, or research related to reservoir engineering, field development, production optimisation, or data analysis. About the job This is not just a graduate program; it's the start of your journey to help redefine a major industrial company. As a Reservoir Engineer in our 2027 Graduate Program, you will be at the forefront of Aker BP's ambition to become the world's first AI-native E&P company. Through a series of rotations, you will develop the skills to handle complex technical problems and contribute to our goal of a 3x productivity improvement. Rotational learning Rotate through diverse Reservoir Engineering disciplines to gain a holistic understanding of the subsurface value chain, supporting reservoir studies and model preparation. Data & AI application Apply data analysis, scripting (e.g., Python), and AI tools to solve tangible technical problems in reservoir performance, surveillance, and management. Multidisciplinary collaboration Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams (geoscience, drilling, production) to plan and execute field development and production optimization projects, documenting assumptions and performing technical analyses. Task ownership Take ownership of well-defined tasks like data preparation, routine analyses, and presentation material, supporting senior engineers on larger technical decisions. Productivity & Innovation Actively contribute to our 3x productivity ambition by identifying and implementing improvement opportunities in reservoir management through technical insight and innovative solutions. Your journey in Reservoir Engineering This isn't a narrow specialization. You'll gain a holistic view by rotating through the core disciplines that drive our subsurface operations, from initial characterization to long-term production strategies. Reservoir simulation & Modeling Learn to develop and utilize models to predict reservoir behavior and optimize recovery, including running model cases and interpreting results. Production optimization Master techniques for maximizing hydrocarbon recovery and efficiency, and contribute to field development and infill well evaluations. Subsurface data analysis & AI Explore advanced data analytics, scripting (e.g., Python), and AI applications for reservoir characterization, surveillance, and forecasting. Field development planning Understand the strategic planning of new fields and infill wells for long-term value, supporting multidisciplinary discussions. Uncertainty quantification Learn to assess and manage geological and reservoir uncertainties in decision-making, working with incomplete information. Reservoir excellence & AI Work with our digital teams to deploy AI and improve how we work in reservoir management, focusing on efficiency and innovation.
