3 weeks ago
Description
The GOM Reservoir Engineer will be part of the GOM Asset Dev Department and will support the Gulf of Mexico in managing both short and long term planning as well as in controlling program execution while ensuring compliance with company policies and procedures. This will be done by working closely with the Assets, Plants and Operational Support groups to gather, analyze and reconcile all necessary data to allow execution of these plans.
·Commercial Evaluations
oPerform economics – forecasting, pricing, financial modelling, commercial basics, predict cash flow, portfolio analysis, structure acquisition/divestiture transactions, value producing properties
oDecision analysis – decision analysis trees/processes, probability and statistical, portfolio management, optimization, evaluation modelling
·Reservoir Characterization
oFluid properties – analyze oil, gas, water fluid properties, drive fluid sampling and laboratory testing of fluids, evaluate fluid components and phase envelopes, perform compositional and other complex fluid type analyses
oReservoir rock properties – assess reservoir thickness, porosity, permeability, characterize rock: initial water saturations, wettability, relative permeability and capillary pressures, determine pressure dependent rock properties and mineralogy in some cases
oVolumetric Analysis – calculate original hydrocarbons in place
oReservoir heterogeneity and characterization – analyze homogeneity to heterogeneity of the reservoirs, understand stress profiles and drainage areas
·Reservoir Performance Analysis and Forecasting
oMaterial Balance – determine original volumes in place and make predictions on reservoir performance, model aquifer and other drive mechanisms, rationalize with mapping and volumetrics
oFluid flow and well productivity analysis – analyze fluid flow in porous formations, pressure transient analysis, rate transient analysis and other advanced decline curve analysis, well productivity index calculation and monitoring, rate and recoverable estimates
·Fluid Displacement Analysis
oApply fluid displacement concepts and techniques along with non-uniform fluid movement
·Analytical Performance Analysis of Reservoir Mechanisms

oWaterflood performance interpretation and prediction
oAll decline curve performance analysis, advanced and traditional
·Reservoir Simulation for performance analysis and production forecasting
oBroad understanding of simulation concepts, types, models, data inputs
oAssess heterogeneities and how to represent in the model
oUnderstand and build surface to subsurface networks, nodal analysis
oPerform compositional modelling where applicable
oCoordinate / support corporate forecasting and budgeting processes for volumes and capital
·Reservoir Surveillance and Management
oDetermine reserves through probabilistic methods
oUnderstand and apply SEC reserve guidelines
oDetermine reserves through deterministic methods
·Reservoir Development – Life Cycle
oIntegration with other disciplines and partners - Drive multi-discipline integration of the projects
oReservoir Management – perform reservoir surveillance, studies on analogous wells, reservoirs and other fields, enhanced recovery techniques and screening, intervention planning and management, field development planning, appraisal leadership, rate and recovery estimates pre-development and brownfield
