Principal Reservoir Engineer

Department

OPERATED ONSHORE OIL FIELD DEVELOPMENT

Lead and undertake Reservoir Engineering studies of the Qatar Energy operated Dukhan oilfield to optimize field development plans, support simulation model maintenance, analyze reservoir and well performance data, develop reservoir surveillance programs and conduct reservoir management activities, including supporting planning and activity on CO2 WAG pilot. Prepare detailed / integrated development plans for underdeveloped hydrocarbon resources and participate in interdisciplinary reservoir study teams.

• Lead the construction, and model history match to assess CO2 WAG EOR performance.
• Help develop and deliver optimized mid / long term strategic and tactical plans for the Operated Onshore field Assets.
• Perform the annual review of reserves, generate long-term production / injection forecasts for Asset Planning, Business Planning and drilling / workover schedule.
• Plan and supervise the acquisition (and perform analysis / interpretation) of Reservoir Engineering data from new and replacement wells for updating dynamic reservoir simulation models and determining optimum development plans and drilling targets. Ensure all data and analysis is input into integrated reservoir / field development studies.
• Maintain, develop and run 3D multiphase black oil / compositional dynamic reservoir models for mathematical simulation of reservoirs and field development planning.
• Develop / contribute and integrate Reservoir Engineering inputs into the short term (drill / replacement well projects, workover projects & drilling / workover operations), medium term (reservoir voidage management) and long term (field development and asset value optimisation) activities.
• Identify target reservoirs / reservoir layers and determine well-reservoir contacts for new / replacement vertical / deviated / horizontal drill projects into multi-layered heterogeneous reservoirs to optimize field development.
• Prepare detailed, integrated development plans for undeveloped hydrocarbon resources.
• Provide input to existing reservoir exploitation with regard to implementation of longer term reservoir management plans. Ensure surveillance programs are efficient and effective. Advising on reservoir management policies and well production limitations.
• Lead reservoir performance surveillance review sessions with multi-discipline teams.
• Coordinate and follow up the execution of reservoir-wide pressure transient analysis surveys.
• QA / QC Reservoir Engineering data and maintain Reservoir Engineering databases including real time data links.
• Provide on-the-job coaching and mentoring of Qatari staff.
• Share and leverage knowledge and skills across Operated Onshore Field subsurface teams.

Within guidelines set by The Head, the position is answerable for his / her actions, and for the consequences of them. The incumbent is expected to be capable of working independently with only periodic monitoring and guidance.

• Identify and leverage the key variables in finding solutions to wide-ranging problems involving multiple disciplines.
• Identify subsurface uncertainties and develop mitigations / solutions by assessing alternatives and related risk / reward.
• Ensure that relevant environmental and safety standards are enacted for all projects and activities under his / her authority.
• Produce high Quality but "fit-for-purpose" work. Through the Quality of the work, establish a high degree of trust between the different disciplines of the team.

• Prefer work experience of at least 15 years as a Reservoir Engineer in the Oil and Gas industry with demonstrated Reservoir studies / performance optimization expertise in mature large oil and gas fields.
• Experience working on mature oil fields under water flood.
• Experience in development plan maturation for undeveloped hydrocarbon resources
• Experience in transient well test interpretation, material balance modelling and performance prediction.
• Experience in numerical reservoir simulation (black oil and compositional), history matching and field…
