Homeoffice Senior Vice President at Buckeye Partners

Elysian is majority owned by Buckeye Partners, which owns and operates over 5,000 miles of pipelines in the
U.S. (and operates another ~2,700 miles of lines for third parties). Buckeye also owns 135+ liquid products
terminals with approximately 130 million barrels of aggregate storage tank capacity, and is the 5th largest
terminal owner/operator globally by capacity. Buckeye has a long track record of successful energy
infrastructure major capital projects. Buckeye is owned by a fund managed by IFM Investors, a global fund
manager and pioneer of infrastructure investment with over $143 billion under management.

Elysian is currently seeking a Vice President, Storage Engineering to lead efforts to define, initiate, and
mature subsurface carbon storage opportunities identified by our team. We are looking for an intelligent,
flexible and hard-working individual to join our entrepreneurial culture. Elysian offers competitive pay and
benefits and a positive, supportive, virtual and collaborative work environment.

Role Summary

The role will lead and participate in efforts to develop, plan, permit and ultimately operate
economic carbon storage opportunities in North America. The position directs and conducts the subsurface
activities of the company. This includes managing contractors through the full project lifecycle, from initial
site evaluation to operations management, and includes development of (or overseeing the development of)
reservoir models that both describe CO2 movement in the subsurface and predict ultimate injection capacity
while assuring permanent storage. In addition, as a critical member of a development team, the position is
expected to perform non-subsurface functions that will advance company priorities.

Primary Responsibilities

• Reservoir Management: Lead a multi-disciplined effort to mature identified CO2 storage
opportunities, including developing and/or overseeing development of effective flow models to
describe CO2 plumes, area of review, and storage mechanisms. Using and/or supervising the use of
dynamic flow simulations to perform sensitivity analysis, optimize well count and placement, and
estimate pore space requirements. Duties include coordinating geoscientists, engineers and
consultants to develop accurate geologic and flow models. Lead de-risking efforts, scenario planning
and development optimization.

• Regulatory Applications: Lead and supervise development of EPA Class VI or equivalent applications
to ensure complete reservoir-related interpretations are included and development plans are
presented accurately, including participation and leading efforts in responding to regulatory agencies
throughout the permitting process. Develop cost effective storage monitoring plans.

• Well Planning and Drilling Support: Develop and recommend testing plans for characterization and
development wells for specific storage sites. Primary Elysian point of contract for drilling consultants
that would manage all drilling-related activities.

• Project Development Planning: Lead all subsurface budgeting and planning efforts, including the
sequence of activity and costs of all subsurface infrastructure, from screening to post injection site
care (PISC). Provide technical input regarding overall project planning, risk mitigation, and
operational strategies, including working with financial-focused teammates in the company to
develop realistic project and cost schedules.

• Site Screening: Working with the storage team (internal and consultants), use best available data to
perform regional/basin level screening to quickly determine storage potential with a focus on
storage capacity, injectability, seal interval integrity and seismicity. Recommend and justify
additional data acquisition as needed.

• Commercial and business development: Possess a working knowledge of commercial considerations
for the CCS value chain, with an appreciation of the importance of capital efficiency regarding
storage in the larger context of capture, transportation and storage. Will support management in
development of responses to formal requests for proposals.

Position Requirements
• Education: Minimum of bachelor’s degree in petroleum engineering or closely related discipline

• Experience: Minimum of 12 years of reservoir engineering work experience (20+ years preferred); but
candidates with minimum of 4 years of direct CCS experience are encouraged to apply regardless of years of non-CCS experience.

• Experience with vertical and surface flow models for equipment sizing

• Knowledge and use of reservoir data types for input to flow models (eg. core data, logs, pressure transient analysis

• Familiarity with CCS industry and knowledge of Class VI permitting process and regulation

• Familiarity with geologic static modeling methods and software

• Project management and team leader experience, including operative understanding of
economic metrics including net present value concepts

• Experience with drilling of wells is preferred, and experience with drilling or operations of
injection or monitoring wells a plus

Technical skills
• Familiarity with compositional flow modeling software (eg. CMG, TNavigator, Eclipse)

• Ability to interpret results of flow models and communicate results to the subsurface team
and stakeholders

• Familiarity with GIS and its use (eg. ArcGIS, QGIS)

• Geochemical modeling capability a plus, but not required

Travel Requirements

• Minimal (10%-15%)

Certificates & Licenses
• Registered Professional Engineer (PE) a plus, but not required

Other Skills, Attributes and Abilities
• Creative, motivated individual accustomed to working remotely in a multi-disciplined team

• Proficient in Microsoft Office

• Must be a detail oriented, self-motivated, project delivery focused candidate capable of leading
teams as well as directly contributing to essential work products

• Possess an ability to deliver and present complex reservoir concepts to diverse groups, as excellent
collaboration and communication skills are required

• Ability to prioritize assignments, deal with interruptions, and meet deadlines in a fast paced and
growth-oriented environment

Essential Function Requirements
• Ability to safely and successfully perform essential job functions consistent with ADA, FMLA and
other federal, state and local standards, including meeting qualitative and or/quantitative productivity standards

• Ability to maintain regular, punctual attendance consistent with the ADA, FMLA and other federal,
state and local standards

• Compliance with all personnel policies
