Job Description

SENIOR RESERVOIR ENGINEER (ONSHORE BASED)

Technical competencies: Strong experience in reservoir management and field development, integrated subsurface studies, and reservoir simulation. Experience with Enhanced Oil Recovery mechanisms is highly appreciated.

Job Requirements Main Activities: To carry out all aspects of reservoir management activities including field development performance evaluation, data acquisition, strategic surveillance, and monitoring master plans to ensure optimal development.

To carry out pattern balancing and to ensure efficient production and injection processes to maximize vertical and lateral sweep efficiency. Lead design and participate in integrated field reviews and field development plans (RMP considering current wells and planned infill wells).

To design and lead the implementation of project surveillance programs including pressure transient surveys, tracer surveys, interference testing, observation well placement, and cased hole logging programs.

To recommend reservoir areas and programs for pilot studies of various oil recovery enhancement techniques. To present fully justified proposals for field trials of techniques such as water or gas injection, acid fractures, or additional performance enhancements. To monitor results over the scheduled trial life and report findings and recommendations to team members, outlining the estimated impact of enhancements on the field or reservoir.

To conduct reservoir simulation studies to define optimal full-field reservoir development plans (primary, secondary, tertiary depletion scenarios including EOR).

To work within an interdisciplinary team to build and quality control the dynamic model. Integrate SCAL core analyses, PVT data, and geological models during the development of integrated models for full-field development plans.

To ensure the quality, traceability, and reporting of reservoir simulation studies to maintain sustainable reservoir models. Conduct analytical and phenomenological studies if necessary as alternative justifications to presented studies.

General responsibility to adhere to company HSE guidelines and practices, with a strong focus on leading environmental and community initiatives in operational areas.

Minimum Requirements & Qualifications: Masters degree in Geosciences and/or Reservoir Engineering. Excellent communication and interpersonal skills. Fluency in English (speaking, writing, reading).
