Engineer, Reservoir Simulation

JOB PURPOSE:

To plan, execute, and interpret reservoir testing and evaluation activities, ensuring accurate performance monitoring and optimal reservoir development strategies. Responsible for integrating oil and gas field development plans with company objectives, addressing safety, layout constraints, and future infrastructure requirements.

KEY ACCOUNTABILITIES:

Job Specific:

• Designs and plans reservoir monitoring surveillance program to meet reservoir objectives and reservoir characterization. Directs and participates in well surveillance activities and reservoir definition and behavior prediction of assigned reservoir.

• Participates in contracting activities related to special field testing. Includes defining scope of tests, preparing specifications, evaluating bids and recommending contract award if required.

• Keeps abreast of latest technological development in the field of reservoir engineering Recommends reservoir areas and program features for pilot studies of various oil/condensate recovery enhancement techniques utilizing new technologies etc.

• Identifies designs, plans production sustainability enhancement strategies focusing on opportunities to improve efficiency and reduce costs.

• Documents Reservoir engineering requirements in various activities (e.g. PCT, SCAL, Logging … etc.) while ensuring activities are carried out as per company guidelines and best practices

• Ensures proper maintenance of reservoir engineering data including timely receipt, QCing, and updating of production data in associated files or databases. This includes routine and special core analysis data, PVT data, pressure tests, and production capacity test results used in reservoir engineering studies

• Fair understanding of the surface facilities and their interface / impact on overall field development activities

•
• Defines and coordinates studies are necessary to achieve the Field Development package as specified, to identify and mitigate potential incompatibilities between existing and future developments and maximize synergies.

• Ensures Field development plans are consistent with planned profiles including gas-lift and fluids compositions.

• Identifies optimization opportunities and synergies particularly pertaining fluid streams blending or segregation to be reviewed with Treatment facilities package, or gas separation on field to control the flow regimes in case of GOR increase or when gas-lift will be required.

• Participate in preparation and submission of the Field Development package with related guidelines for future developments and associated schedule and responsibilities and the related cost estimates.

• Collects, compiles and validates data necessary for Field Development packages, such as (flow lines, DGS, water injection, lift gas network) and those related to existing and already defined future networks, manifolds, included in the battery limits on which must be defined.

• Participates in the limits of Field Development package to overall coordination with all parties involved in Oil and Gas production to identify the effects of field development plans.

• Identifies issues at interface between packages and participates to alignment and optimization between all Field Development packages.
