Reservoir engineer

Responsibilities

• Develop and apply numerical reservoir simulation models to understand and predict reservoir fluid-flow behavior throughout the field life cycle.
• Review, validate, and quality-control reservoir dynamic data, including production, pressure, PVT, SCAL, and well test data.
• Prepare, initialize, and maintain reservoir simulation models using static geological and reservoir characterization inputs.
• Perform history matching by calibrating simulation models against observed reservoir and production performance, including pressure, production rates, water cut, gas-oil ratio, and injection performance.
• Conduct production forecasting under various reservoir management and field development scenarios.
• Evaluate and recommend reservoir management and field development strategies, including infill drilling, well placement, pressure maintenance, and injection optimization.
• Perform uncertainty and sensitivity analyses to assess development risks and forecast outcomes.
• Generate and deliver calibrated dynamic reservoir models, production forecasts, development recommendations, and technical reports.
• Support reserves estimation, production optimization, and field development planning activities.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to integrate geological, reservoir, and production data into simulation studies.

 
Qualifications

• 5-10 years of experience in Reservoir Engineering, with experience in reservoir simulation and dynamic reservoir modeling.
• Experience with history matching, reservoir performance analysis, and production forecasting.
• Knowledge of PVT, SCAL, well test, pressure, and production data analysis.
• Understanding of reservoir management and field development planning.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and technical reporting skills.
