Key responsibilities: Take ownership in day-to-day surveillance, reservoir management and development activities. Monitor production performance and make recommendations for production optimization. Work closely with operations, offshore personnel, facilities & engineering, drilling & completion, and wells groups in ensuring smooth operations while achieving production targets. Identify/evaluate production enhancement opportunities and diagnostics of well behaviours. Deliver and monitor reservoir management plan, field-wide surveillance programs and monthly target producing plans. Recommend and justify surveillance needs for wells. Hold accountability on production forecasting. Monitor reserves changes and contribute relevant part of subsurface input to the annual business planning activities and quarterly updates to both internal and external stakeholders. Undertake data analysis and interpretations, including material balance, volumetric estimation, production allocation and forecast, pressure transient analysis, nodal analysis, fluid contacts estimation, reserves evaluation etc. Conduct reservoirs/field development studies (i.e. analytical and numerical simulation) to define optimal reservoir depletion strategy: optimize well locations and count, well utilities, pressure maintenance vs. gas cap blowdown, gas injection etc. Integrate data from G&G, completions, drilling, and production operations and provide recommendations on subsurface optimization. Support appraisal and development planning activities and provide reservoir engineering inputs and/or recommendations in a timely manner. Prepare and update Field Development Plan (FDP) documentation for approval as required. Deliver the necessary presentations and documentation for both technical assurance reviews and approval process as and when needed. Provide mentoring and coaching to junior engineers as required. Desired Skills and Technical Experience: Degree in relevant subsurface discipline (reservoir/petroleum engineering) or equivalent. Minimum 8 years relevant practical experience with at least 4 years in reservoir management/surveillance. Experience in reservoir development especially during drilling operations phase will be a plus. Sound cross discipline skills, with an understanding from geoscience through reservoir engineering to petroleum and well engineering. A good understanding of upstream processes. Good working experience in all aspects of petroleum engineering, field reservoir development and ongoing production management through to abandonment. Practical knowledge of well design and associated flow assurance issues (inc. Gas Lift Design, Sand Control, Corrosion, scale, wax etc). Experienced in production enhancement justification and operations including: gas lift optimisation, perforations, scale & wax removal, stimulation. Experienced in building and maintaining strong relationships with Government, JV partners and Service Providers and managing associated contractual arrangements. Clear understanding of hydrocarbon resource estimation and reserves audit procedures. Be self-motivated to accomplish world-class results, generally positive in outlook, and able to cope in a dynamic environment. Possess, or strive to possess, skills in project and team management, including planning of works, budgeting and control against plan and budget. Have a sufficiently broad experience base to be able to exercise independent thought and decision making. Good interpersonal skills, including ability to plan and present a coherent story to both direct reports as well as partners and management. Computer literate and have a strong written and verbal command of English Additional Information
