PMC Specialist Reservoir Engineer

Wood

Objective:

• The activities in carbonate reservoir aim to boost the field production capacity, sustain the plateau and managing the subsequent production decline to assure economical production for as long as possible. Despite the potential for increased production, there is significant subsurface uncertainty, especially in extended areas due to complex reservoir characteristics and distributions.
• The Specialist Reservoir Simulation Engineer (Field Development) will provide expert technical support to the team, ensuring project milestones are met on schedule to high standards (including best industry practices for field development, including high confidence of implementation of the recommended plan), while maintaining accuracy and efficiency and excellent record keeping.
  

Expected:

• Bachelor degree in Petroleum Engineering or Reservoir Engineering (Master s degree highly desirable) from a recognized, top tier university.
• Proven expertise in reservoir simulation and field development projects.
• Familiarity with offshore field development.
• Minimum 15 years of experience in the oil and gas, atleast more than 6 years of experience in field development plan of complex carbonate reservoirs and 10 years of experience with reservoir simulation software and data integration tools.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.

Data Integration and Quality Assurance:

• Lead the subsurface evaluation and Field development plan optimization for SELECT stage.
• Ensure consistent and coherent integration of all available data including (but not limited to) geological, geophysical, logs, RCAL and SCAL, production/injection data, pressure data, etc. during the field development plan evaluation.
• Ensure the set of recommended field development plan alternatives will lead to high recovery factors (consistent with ADNOC aspirational targets), preserve reservoir health (consistent with ADNOC policy) and economically attractive.
• Validate and QC simulation results to maintain technical integrity and company standards.

Field development Plan:

• Run uncertainty evaluation covering all the major geological and dynamic uncertainties and rank their importance on production and recovery targets.
• Evaluate the base case development plan as required and come up with alternative options of improved scenarios with different plateau rates; include in the analysis key metrics for economics and recovery
• Assessing different development options, not limited to Pattern schemes (not limited to line drive, shorter spacing, vertical well placement, lateral length including MRC technology, smart completion), artificial lift strategy and injection strategy aiming to optimize well count and maximizing the oil recovery and economic performance.
• Further optimize development plan based on the key uncertainties identified in this evaluation
• Optimize CAPEX & OPEX including drilling and wellhead slot reuse, aiming to reduce UTC of development options.
• Support the drilling team in conduct Drillability study along with integrated anti-collision study and Drilling Design Basis.

Reporting and Presentation:

• Prepare detailed technical reports and presentations summarizing simulation findings and field development plan scenarios and their corresponding economics.
• Addressing technical challenges and providing actionable solutions.

Software and Tools:

• Utilize industry-standard reservoir simulation software such as PETREL/Intersect and tNavigator .
• Apply advanced analytical tools for scenario evaluation and optimization.
• Awareness and familiarity with AI methods and other digital technologies
