Job Objective
Oversee the reservoir engineering aspects of dynamic reservoir modeling, reservoir management and field development. Review and oversee subsurface data acquisition and quality control in areas such as fluid sampling, pressure monitoring, transient testing and PVT analysis. Define the technical scope of field, laboratory and analytical work to be performed in-house and by third parties. Coordinate reservoir simulation and reservoir management activities. Guide the integration of static and dynamic reservoir parameters and recommend model updates and/or additional data gathering as needed. Assist in identifying prospective well locations as part of the well planning process. Set forth evaluation and testing requirements from a reservoir management perspective. Oversee reviews of reservoir performance trends and approve forecasts of future production. Review and rank proposed reservoir development projects, including improved oil recovery projects, based on results of initial technical, economic and risk evaluations. In consultation with service providers, research new reservoir engineering workflows and technologies and their areas of application in hydrocarbon asset management. Develop surveillance plan and collect data to ensure maximum reservoir performance develop reservoir surveillance data in current models.
