JOB TITLE:  Senior Petroleum Engineer

Provide technical leadership and assurance across the Uwainat Project (subsurface-related part). Lead and control petroleum engineering activities across planning and execution of well monitoring, completion, workover, rigless operations, well evaluation and surveillance to ensure safe, efficient delivery of production objectives and robust reservoir management. Provide technical governance on well design and operations, supervise contractor performance, coordinate with drilling, geology, and operations, and ensure all deliverables comply with Company standards. Prepare and present detailed technical documents for various regular meetings and liaise with Government (ADNOC/QatarEnergy) and Shareholder representatives on subsurface and drilling engineering matters as required. Contribute to FDP preparation and Gate reviews, and act as a focal point for well integrity and operational excellence.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Well Design & Programs

·Responsible for preparing the Basis of Well Design (BOD), completion designs, testing plans, and operational procedures.

·Prepare a drilling strategy and program that addresses prevailing uncertainties and optimizes performance, while coordinating with Drilling, Geology, and Reservoir Engineering teams to ensure alignment.

·Manage the selection of testing equipment and methods, and supervise well testing and sampling activities to ensure high-quality data and compliance with approved programs.

Well Monitoring & Control

·Conduct a thorough review and ensure a strategy for well monitoring, along with a response plan for new wells, and incorporate these into the well design, testing plans and operational procedures.

·Oversee selection of testing equipment and methods.

·Supervise well testing and completion activities to ensure quality data and adherence to approved programs.

Rigless Operations & Well Services

·Direct preparation and supervision of rigless activities (BHP surveys, PLT, wireline, DHSV replacement, well interventions) to ensure safe and cost-effective execution.

·Select service contractors and maintain operational excellence.

·Ensure well integrity monitoring and compliance through WIMS and proactive risk mitigation.

Production Monitoring & Optimization

·Monitor and analyze well and field production performance to identify bottlenecks, under-performing wells, and optimization opportunities.

·Design and implement production optimization strategies, including well interventions, artificial lift improvements, and operational parameter adjustments.

·Evaluate production trends using surveillance data, analytical tools, and reservoir models to ensure timely and accurate performance assessment.

·Recommend corrective actions and contribute to production system improvements aligned with field development objectives.

Assist Development Planning

·Support the development and implementation of comprehensive field development plans, including well performance, placement, design, drilling strategies, drilling program, monitoring strategies, and production optimization.

·Collaborate closely with geologists, geophysicists, drilling engineers, and project engineers to ensure alignment and consistency. Prepare, review, and present technical documents and reports for regular meetings to facilitate timely approvals and stakeholder alignment.

·Assist in preparing production forecasts and reserves evaluations using dynamic reservoir simulation, ensuring timely updates in response to project schedule or design changes. Provide technical support for production optimization initiatives aimed at maximizing hydrocarbon recovery.

·Prepare Field Development Plans (FDP) and support gate reviews.

Budgeting & Planning

·Carry out other similar or related duties such as preparing a vigilant budget estimates and submits to supervisor for approval, ensuring that all budgets are adhered to and providing justifications for variances to budget provisions, keeping abreast of development in reservoir and petroleum engineering information and techniques to improve the Section's efficiency, directing the preparation and reviewing various reports such as approval for drilling, testing programmes, well completion, monthly operations and monthly production/injection allocation reports, etc.
