24 days ago

Primary Purpose of the Job:Lead integrated reservoir studies and reservoir management of the QatarEnergyoperated oil fields to optimize field development plans. Lead and contribute to reservoirsimulation modelling studies including model construction and update, reservoir/wellperformance analysis, reservoir surveillance program, infill and workover wellprograms and reservoir management activities. Support and follow-up on third-partyreservoir & modelling studies ensuring technical quality and progress. Formulatedetailed/integrated development plans for both developed and undevelopedhydrocarbon resources. Identify key reservoir and development risks and uncertaintiesand recommend mitigation plans. Provide guidance to younger team members, andon-the-job training for young engineers. Required Experience and Skills:Required

Prefer 15 years work experience as a Reservoir Engineer in the Oil and Gas

industry with demonstrated Reservoir studies/surveillance/performanceoptimization expertise in large oil and gas fields and oil rim development,emphasizing carbonate reservoirs.

Significant experience working on mature oil fields under waterflood.

Experience in transient well test interpretation, material balance modelling and

performance prediction of vertical and horizontal wells.

Strong experience in numerical reservoir simulation model construction and

quality control (blackoil and compositional), initialization, history matching,uncertainty evaluation and model forecasting techniques.

Strong experience in field development planning, recovery estimation, improved

recovery techniques (e.g. waterflood and gas re-injection).

Strong knowledge in reservoir surveillance and monitoring techniques and related

uncertainties.

Good experience in reserves and resource evaluation, classification and booking

(SPE PRMS or SEC standards).

Knowledge and experience in reservoir fluid sampling, fluid property modelling,

routine and special core analysis.
