Job Description:Primary Purpose of the JobLead 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.
