Job description
  • Senior technical member of sub-surface team Responsible for Reservoir Engineering, Dynamic Modelling, Well Performance, Production Forecasting, Integrated Production System
  • Evaluate the production potential of a reservoir by simulating fluid flow phase behavior and reservoir physical properties.
  • Deliver the information need to make safer, optimal, long-term production decisions for each reservoir
  • Technical support for Reservoir Formation and Testing Services where analysis of data requires having a broad knowledge of the product line's tools and / or services.
  • Advise on service companies choice and contract negotiation.
  • Support Integrated subsurface team in developing logging and other analysis programs to meet formation evaluation needs Work with static modeller, Petrophysicist and Drilling Engineers & QC of model building and uncertainty modelling to ensure consistent models that are fit for purpose for Well re-entry plans, well intervention plans and field development planning. Liaison with G&G to ensure proper links between static and dynamic work
  • Support the subsurface team for the maturation of exploration, appraisal and development targets in shallow marine offshore Nigeria
  • Input to field data gathering and reservoir monitoring program (WRM, WRFM etc).
  • Present results internally to management and externally to partners (government and other third parties). Liaise with partners to resolve technical issues.
  • Help build and maintain accurate and comprehensive databases of data gathered in conjunction with geoscience team members.
  • Ensure all work is carried out to appropriate standards and in accordance with international best practice and internal processes
  • Contribute to geological training and mentoring of junior staff and secondees

    • KEY ACCOUNTABILITIES :

    • Generate Dynamic modelling using state of the art technology and proffer Short and long term production forecasts based both on DCA and dynamic modelling
    • Provide Field development plan and Reserves estimation. Participation in internal and external reserves audit.
    • Evaluate and communicate numerical analysis uncertainties feeding into additional data acquisition plans and capture in uncertainty analysis and reservoir modelling.
