Breakthrough chemical solutions across oil & gas, mining & metals, and water treatment. More oil. More metals. Smarter chemistry. Backed by Y Combinator.
About the role
We are seeking a Senior Stimulation Chemist to own the chemistry behind our flagship oilfield product, PetroX Boost. PetroX Boost is a biochemical treatment that selectively alters mineral phases in unconventional reservoirs, with the objective of enhanced oil production.
What they're looking for
- Bachelor's or advanced degree in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, or a related field
- 10+ years of hands-on oilfield chemistry experience, with personal ownership of formulations and their performance
- Depth in one or more of: oilfield stimulation chemistry, acidizing chemistry, chelant/sequestrant chemistry, mineral dissolution, or aqueous inorganic chemistry
- Experience characterizing reaction kinetics and precipitation behavior in complex fluid systems
- Experience designing and interpreting laboratory testing, such as dissolution, compatibility, precipitation, corrosion
- Bias toward action and strong ownership, comfortable without a corporate playbook
More about this role
MaverickX is revitalizing critical resource extraction with precision biologics. We are a team of scientists, engineers, and business operators who are bringing cutting-edge biotechnology products to the world’s most critical industries.
The Applications team owns the testing and performance validation of our chemistry, responsible for both lab evaluation and field execution. It is a small, cross-disciplinary group that works directly with technical operators to deploy, prove, and iterate on our solutions. Beyond the current field program, the team evaluates new applications for our chemical platform across the oilfield.
We are seeking a Senior Stimulation Chemist to own the chemistry behind our flagship oilfield product, PetroX Boost. PetroX Boost is a biochemical treatment that selectively alters mineral phases in unconventional reservoirs, with the objective of enhanced oil production.
You will own the chemical performance of PetroX Boost, including reaction with target minerals, spent-fluid behavior, and downhole compatibility. You will define and interpret the laboratory program behind each treatment, and you will translate the chemistry into constraints and recommendations...
