Our purpose is to deliver energy to the world, today and tomorrow. For over 100 years, bp has focused on discovering, developing, and producing oil and gas in the nations where we operate. We are one of the few companies globally that can provide governments and customers with an integrated energy offering. Delivering our strategy sustainably is fundamental to achieving our ambition to be a net zero company by 2050 or sooner.
About the role
Global Subsurface Solutions (GSS) is a global organisation within Subsurface where we deliver high-quality, high impact, subsurface technical products to address critical business challenges across bp’s oil, gas, and low carbon businesses.
The Eastern Hemisphere team supports activity in more than 10 countries on projects as diverse as deep-water production in the North Sea, early field development offshore West Africa, and large-scale waterflood developments in the Caspian Sea and Middle East. We work across all reservoir types, characterizing reservoirs and proposing amendments to depletion plans, as well as supporting bp’s growing Low Carbon businesses.
To support growing activity in the region we are now seeking an emerging reservoir engineer who, having already gained some exposure in an operator or EPC environment, is now seeking a development opportunity to challenge themselves and progress their career in a dynamic, varied, and agile role.
Given the scope of the team's activity covers a broad range of geographies this opportunity is open to candidates in the UK (Sunbury or Aberdeen), Azerbaijan, Egypt, or Trinidad.
The role is not open to relocation provision or expat assignment.
