Job description

JOB PURPOSE:
Update / Generate black oil and compositional simulation models with field development planning, short, and
long-term profiles. Conduct model sensitivities and prioritize development schemes applying best practices,
Uncertainty & Risk assessment and economics. Undertakes reservoir simulation studies to attain stated
objectives and translate results into operational guidelines.

 KEY ACCOUNTABILITIES:
Job Specific Accountabilities

• Coordinates and works with Geoscientists on reservoir characterization and upscaling.
• Builds sizable Full Field simulation models, history match and use them in predictions
• Conducts quality check and consistency of simulation model, history match scenarios with respect to
  geological model characteristics.
• Develops characterization of reservoir fluids and Equation of State (EOS) modelling, calibration and
  Convert simple black oil models to compositional. Diagnoses model convergence and run-time
  problems.
• Coordinates with Technical centre in designing IOR/EOR methods (WI, Immiscible GI, Miscible GI, and
  Surfactant and polymer injection) to enhance recovery and pressure maintenance methods.
• Applies different methods of reserves estimation using probabilistic and deterministic methods (Mbal,
  DCA and simulation models sensitivities).
• Identifies required action using simulation models for maximize recovery/meet current production
  quotas, design, follow up, QC and analyse reservoir studies e.g. RCA, SCAL and PVT.
• Conducts special simulation studies for Field Development optimization (well pacing, infill wells,
  advanced wells, Pilots)
• Applies multiphase flow in the reservoir, effective permeability concept and correlations for relative
  permeability. Integrate pressure and production test results for reservoir simulation and management
  decisions.
• Contributes to reservoir monitoring program and data gathering with effective cost program to enable
  collecting necessary data to help best reservoir management and reduce uncertainties.
• Liaises with contractors conducting the study, analyses and reviews findings and actions study
  recommendations. Participate in periodic update and validation of database with monthly
  production/injection data and descriptions to display wells, reservoir and field performance for
  appropriate distribution and Simulation model recalibration.
