Manages asset study team: Plan and coordinate Geological, Geophysical, Petrophysical and Reservoir Engineering related work on all the reservoirs in MM and ALR.

Integrated Reservoir Studies: Initiate and coordinate a wide range of internal and external integrated Geosciences and Reservoir studies for all reservoirs in MM and ALR, to optimize recovery of oil, gas and condensate. Coordinate their execution and ensures high technical quality based on sound geosciences and reservoir engineering principles and appropriately integrated into business process and aligned with agreed goals and budget.

Field Development Planning and Implementation: Ensure robustness of geosciences and reservoir engineering related methods and assumptions (Geological, Geophysical, Petrophysical, PVT, SCAL, and reservoir properties) in subsurface models applied for development plans covering all reservoirs.

Reserves Determination and Production Forecasting: In accordance to QP-PRMS-based guidelines, coordinate in-place volume estimates for/and prepare the Annual Review of Reserves and long-term oil, gas and condensate production forecasts.

Reservoir Management and Field Performance Optimization: Contribute to the annual reservoir management plans for optimization of the field’s performance.

Drilling and Workovers: Coordinate geosciences and reservoir engineering input for well proposals for appraisal, near field exploration, production, and injection wells. Review drilling, workover and well abandonment plans.

Risk Management: Identify subsurface uncertainties and develops plans to acquire geosciences and reservoir engineering related data to mitigate the associated risks.

Annual Budget Planning: Participate and contribute to annual budget process.

Organizational development: Ensure that geosciences and reservoir engineering team is adequately resourced with appropriate staff through recruitment and retention of world class professionals. Foster a positive and rewarding work environment for existing staff. Ensure training of staff to internationally competitive standards and prepares development plans for Developees. Participate in interview panels for geosciences and reservoir engineers’ positions.

Desirable
