Reservoir Engineer for AI Model Evaluation

Subsurface and reservoir engineers apply hands-on reservoir simulation, production forecasting, and reserves reporting expertise to evaluate AI-generated subsurface outputs and provide detailed feedback that improves AI understanding of subsurface workflows and reservoir engineering practices. This is an ongoing, project-based, hourly contract role performed fully remotely and suitable to combine with research, teaching, postdoctoral work, or industry employment.

• Use your professional experience in reservoir simulation, production forecasting, and reserves reporting to evaluate AI-generated content and identify errors, gaps, and improvement opportunities.
• Independently produce expert-level analytical work and structured data outputs using the tools and workflows from your professional practice.
• Complete real work tasks in a project format, for example building price forecast models or developing PPA documentation, and document methods and assumptions.
• Provide clear, written feedback and guidance that helps refine AI outputs to align with standard subsurface and reservoir engineering practices.

• Minimum of 2 years professional experience in subsurface engineering, reservoir analysis, or production operations.
• Relevant roles include Reservoir Engineer or Reservoir Modeler / Petrophysicist, Reserves Engineer (SEC reporting), Petroleum Production / Well Test Engineer, Production Allocation Analyst, or equivalent energy industry positions.
• Proven ability to independently produce work using one or more of the following tools: Techlog, Avocet, Petrel, ARIES.
• Experience completing workflows such as reservoir simulation and production forecasting, SEC oil and gas reserves reporting, well test analysis and interpretation, and production allocation calculations across working interest owners.
• Bachelor''s degree or higher required.
• Strong written communication skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work independently and asynchronously.

• Location: Fully remote.
• Employment type: Part time, hourly contract work; contributors operate as independent contractors.
• Schedule: Flexible, asynchronous schedule with no minimum hour requirement; when active on a project most contributors work approximately 5 to 20 hours per week.
