Reservoir Engineer

Purpose and Scope
Provides specialist advice and support to COMPANY’S Reservoir Engineering staff and PDD Management in the areas of Reservoir Engineering (reservoir management, modeling and simulation). This includes describing the behaviour of hydrocarbon systems; describing and representing reservoir dynamics by applying the most appropriate modeling techniques and predicting future reservoir behaviour under various drive mechanisms. Advocates full use of fit-for-purpose reservoir simulation techniques to support COMPANY’S’s reservoir development and management objectives.

Establishes and advises on quality control and monitoring tools to ensure laboratory experiments and reservoir evaluation studies are carried out according to recognized industry and COMPANY’S standards.

Acts as authority on his/her specialty area of Reservoir Engineering and ensures that the lessons learned from previous and ongoing studies are shared among all Teams.

Accountabilities
· Provides specialist advice on routine and special core analysis.
- Relationships between petrophysical characteristics of reservoir rocks
- Correlations for relative permeability and capillary pressure characterization.
· Advises on defining and propagating simulation model rock types based on SCAL data and geological parameters.
· Advises on designing and doing quality control on laboratory experiments to describe rock-fluid interaction (relative permeability, capillary pressure, petrophysical parameters and core floods). Advises on carrying out and QC’ing specialized core experiments for specific development schemes.
· Provides specialist advice on representing and modeling behaviour of hydrocarbon systems using thermodynamic principles. This includes
- Relationships between pressure, volume, temperature and the state of pure substances and of hydrocarbon mixtures. Calculating hydrocarbon properties from either correlations, physical measurements or via an equation of state.
- Advises on designing and doing quality control on laboratory experiments to describe the PVT behaviour of reservoir fluids and their interaction with different injectants.

Key Performance Indicators

· Assures:
- Accurate description of displacement process and application to reservoir engineering studies
- Sources of error associated with the experiments are recognized and impact evaluated.
· Simulation model “dynamic rock types” consistent with SCAL data and distribution of reservoir properties.
· Appropriate laboratory tests are carried out, possible anomalies are detected and accounted for.
· Suitable core analysis measurement and/or interpretation and application techniques.

· Assures:
- Accurate description of hydrocarbon system behaviour has been obtained and applied in reservoir engineering studies
- Proper component lumping to reduce the number of components.
- Representative estimates of reservoir fluid properties at reservoir conditions.
· Laboratory test programs for advanced PVT experiments and QC on procedures and results.
· Abnormal deviations are highlighted and investigated.
· Interaction with staff or contractor developing the EOS.

Minimum Requirements

- B. Sc. in Petroleum or Chemical Engineering, Math, Physics or equivalent.
- Over 15 years of experience in reservoir engineering including 8 years actively directing and / or conducting computer simulation studies. Solid knowledge of mathematical, physical, and engineering concepts required for understanding and modeling the behavior of oil and gas reservoirs and for effective reservoir management.
