Reservoir Engineers are a subset of [[Petroleum Engineering]]. Reservoir Engineers work to maximize the recovery of a drilled well. They work to optimize the recovery of the oil and gas reserves and often spend large amounts of time in the field <ref> [http://www.exxonmobil.com/USA-English/HR/Jobs/HR_US_what_sample4.asp]</ref> Their skills often include applied mathematics, as well as subsurface geology and knowledge of [[chemistry]] and [[physics]]. Their roles include developing recovery programs and overseeing the economic viability of projects.
==Overview / Responsibilities==
Reservoir Engineers are heavily involved in the economic analysis of a well. Some of their responsibilities include <ref>[ http://careers.chevron.com/disciplines/index_of_disciplines/engineering/petroleum_engineering/reservoir_engineering.aspx]</ref>.
*Estimating reserves and development planning
*Carrying out reservoir simulation to optimize reserves
*Predicting reserves in a well.
*Developing and optimizing reservoir recovery techniques
*Analyzing pressure transients
*Designing and coordinating petrophysical studies
*Analyzing economics and risks of development programs
*Estimating reserves on producing properties
