Job Description Summary:
The ideal candidate should possess a solid understanding of petroleum engineering principles, including drilling, production, petrophysics and reservoir engineering to address both subsurface and surface challenges. This role will be responsible for planning data acquisition (reservoir and production), interpreting, evaluating, and integrating this data to develop, sustain, and optimize production performance.
Additionally, the candidate should be adept at applying technology to solve fundamental scientific and engineering problems, utilizing industry-standard software and tools.
Key Responsibilities:
• Analyse engineering data (subsurface and surface) to develop new and manage existing fields. • Collaborate with earth scientists (geologists or geophysicists) to optimize recovery strategies and develop production forecasts.
• Analyse production trends and recommend intervention to maintain or increase production output.
• Estimate reserves and assess the economic viability of field development projects in collaboration with cross-functional teams, including earth scientists, Facilities Engg. and economists.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (earth scientist, Petrophysics, Geomechanics and drilling) by providing technical expertise for the planning and execution of development wells and workovers.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to monitor drilling / production operations and analyse results in real-time.
• Conduct lookback post well intervention activities which impacts personnel safety, process safety & well production volumes- and prepare technical reports and presentations for management and stakeholders.
• Leverage subsurface data Pressure Volume Temperature (PVT) to define reservoir contacts and build subsurface models to evaluate dynamic properties of reservoirs, assess uncertainty, mitigate subsurface risks and generate production forecasts for field development planning.
• Comply with government(s) regulations on all aspects of the asset development and reservoir management lifecycle.
What You Will Bring
