Job Title: Reservoir Engineer
Location:
Doha, Qatar (Office-based, standard working hours: 5 days/week)
Purpose of the Role
Maximize production from reservoirs through effective reservoir management practices, surveillance plans, and identification of opportunities for improvement.
Key Responsibilities
- Identification, planning, and close follow-up of the reservoir surveillance plans for the reservoir.
- Identification and follow-up of reservoir management activities to maximize production, voidage replacement improvement, and reduce the production decline rates
- Perform simulation and special studies related to well performance improvement initiatives
- Use of segmented well modeling (IX), both 3D and Single Well Models to optimize and design KB wells.
- Opportunities identification and maturation to FID (RD Workovers, Tubing Change-outs, Integrity WO, Stimulation...) for production and injection improvements
- Timely generation of monthly unconstrained profiles for short-term production forecast (Rolling Forecast)
- New wells and work-overs post-mortem synthesis
- Wells & Well Patterns reviews, and identify remedial actions
- WAG cycles optimization, execution, and follow-up
- Surfactant pilots maturation, execution and monitoring
- Support Profiles and Reserves team by providing data for Integrated Asset Modelling
- Support IRM team for NFA unconstrained profiles aggregation and analysis
- Effective collaboration between KB RMO and company entities.
- Provide support to team members
Technical Activities
- Perform detailed wells performance analysis and post-mortem synthesis.
- Perform subsurface studies to improve production and injection (slugging, NFA decline analysis, stabilization analysis, GL optimization, etc.).
- Perform simulation studies (IX) to define optimum injection (water and WAG), short-term forecasting, and voidage replacement improvement.
- Use of simulation and 4D seismic to identify optimum zonal shifting and injection schemes to increase sweep efficiency.
- Segmented well modelling (IX) both in 3D and Single Well Models to optimize and design complex wells.
- Identify and prioritize reservoir surveillance plans and ensure close follow-up.
- Identify opportunities, ranking, and maturation (re-drills, workovers, stimulation, etc.) until FID.
- Lead light workovers maturation (tubing change-out) until final SOR.
- Maintain and close follow-up of opportunities hopper.
- Support WAG cycles optimization, execution, and follow-up.
- Support the maturation of Surfactant pilots, execution, and follow-up.
- Contribute to the generation of the yearly reservoir management plans and ensure their execution.
- Prepare and present the Quarterly Reservoir Management reviews to SH’s.
- Perform decline curve analysis and generate the monthly unconstrained profiles for the rolling forecast.
- Define completion strategies for future wells supported by simulation studies and 4D seismic.
- Support the New Well Delivery team all along the WO’s SOR process
