EOR Laboratory Chemist

The opportunity is suited to a laboratory specialist with strong hands-on experience in chemical enhanced oil recovery (EOR), particularly in laboratory testing, chemical evaluation and the interaction between reservoir fluids, rock and EOR chemicals.

Key areas of expertise include:

• Chemical EOR techniques, including polymer, surfactant and alkaline-surfactant-polymer (ASP) systems.
• Phase behaviour studies, microemulsion characterisation and interfacial tension measurements.
• Core-flooding experiments, viscosity and rheology testing, and chemical compatibility assessments.
• Laboratory testing under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions.
• Evaluation of polymer properties, chemical stability and performance.
• Supporting EOR laboratory programmes, reservoir studies, simulation and field pilots.
• Technical evaluation of chemical products and collaboration with research and engineering teams.

Your profile:

• BSc in a relevant scientific or engineering discipline, or equivalent qualification.
• 10+ years of hands-on laboratory experience in chemical EOR or a closely related field.
• Practical experience with specialist laboratory equipment and analytical techniques.
• Strong understanding of chemical interactions with reservoir rock and fluids.
• Ability to translate laboratory findings into practical recommendations for reservoir development and EOR implementation.
