EngineeringOverview
Engages in the analysis of data and monitors the ongoing and approved work programs. Works with joint venture (PSA) partners in optimising field development. Follows up reservoir and well performance and prepares, jointly with the PSA operators, detailed integrated development plans for both matured and underdeveloped hydrocarbon resources. Undertakes detailed studies adopting most effective tools and techniques, constructs new reservoir simulation models, as well as reviewing and carrying out sensitivity studies on existing simulation models to optimise development plans. Analyses proposed development and maintenance programs, recommends alternatives to achieve optimum recovery and monitors field implementation. Analyses field data and prepares, jointly with the PSA operators, data gathering programs and makes recommendations for data acquisition improvements
Experience
Should be able to construct new models using numerical simulation packages such as Eclipse and VIP as well as evaluate and run existing models for field development. Sound knowledge of classical reservoir engineering techniques and experienced with computerized well test analysis using numerical and analytical packages such as Saphir and Pansystem or similar packages. Familiarity with other relevant packages such as MBal, Prosper, DSS, OFM, mapping and geostatistics will be an advantage. Experience in usual PC and Unix Workstation software. Knowledge of compositional simulation and experience with Enhanced Oil Recovery methods will also be an advantage. Expected to work independently with minimum supervision in accordance with QP standards and approved department policies, guidelines and procedures. Required to be a recognized authority in his discipline with detailed academic knowledge integrated with significant practical experience. In addition, the incumbent is required to have an in-depth knowledge of the other disciplines within the department. Successful track record in planning, organizing and execution of significant studies and projects. Due to the complex nature of the job, substantial self-reliance and the ability to work with a high degree of independence are required. Ability to integrate disparate ambiguous data and analyses from a variety of sources and disciplines into a coherent working plan. A fundamental pre-requisite of the job is a comprehensive understanding and a clear demonstrable ability to optimally handle uncertainty. Be able to identify, source and validate primary engineering data
Qualifications
B.Sc. in Petroleum Engineering supplemented with industry courses in petroleum engineering with strong computer skills and excellent written and spoken English. Advanced degree (M.Sc./Ph.D) is preferred. 15 years experience with at least the last 8 years as a practicing Reservoir Engineer in an oil company, a large part of which should have been in reservoir simulation studies.
