SENIOR ENGINEER, RESERVOIR

Job Purpose

Takes lead role in the initial build and maintenance of the active Marginal Full field dynamic simulation models based on new and evolving Geo-model builds.

Build reservoir simulation models (Full Field & Sector) to ensure latest reservoir and other data and knowledge are "tried and tested" in the test models before being rolled over to the operational Full Field model.

Provides up dated HCIIP and single well production forecasts to be used in economic analyses.

Job Specific Accountabilities (Part 1)

• Utilities reservoir simulation models based Geo-model and fluid uncertainties to refine estimates in field total and field accessible HCIIP.
• Identify and manage key sub surface uncertainties.
• Work closely with Reservoir Studies Geologist to identify optional method and degree of up-scaling from Geo-model to Dynamic model.
• Constructs sector models to assist in understanding the impact of reservoir heterogeneity, fractures and other reservoir properties may have on well production.
• Integrate results of all existing well test data, PVT fluids analysis, SCAL and routine core analysis into reservoir model.
  
  

Job Specific Accountabilities (Part 2)

• Ensures the smooth transfer of new Full Field model builds based on Geo-models updates to Development REs.
• To identify reservoir engineers’ skills gaps and training needs, organize reservoir and petroleum engineering training courses.
• To offer technical advice, practical help, and assistance to staff as and when required, concerning reservoir or multi-disciplinary studie
• Follow all relevant operational procedures and instructions so that work is carried out in a controlled and consistent manner.
• Ensure compliance to 100 % HSE policy in all aspects of the professional delivery.
  
  

Job Specific Accountabilities (Part 3)

• Works in accordance with the established Company Policy and Procedures
• Provide Reservoir Engineering inputs for Delineation, Development, Appraisal & Workover Well Prognosis
• To be able to generate a quick economic model to predict economical outlook for any CFDP or FDP
• Staying up to date with the latest software developments and new applications which are of potential value to the Division.
• Stimulate subordinates and contribute to the identification of opportunities for continuous improvement of Sub Surface Division systems, processes and practices taking into account “international best practice”, improvement of business processed, cost reduction and productivity improvement
