Petroleum Development Oman is the leading exploration and production company in the Sultanate of Oman. The Company delivers the majority of the country's crude oil production and natural gas supply.
The primary responsibility of job will be:• FDP implementation / field development (well pick, well proposal, post implantation review)• Construct / maintain dynamic simulation models as required to support FDP implementation, understanding of field performance and identifying new opportunities to bridge RF gap to TQ. • Maintain lifecycle hydrocarbon maturation strategy and plan for future development that include identification and maturation of CR opportunities, • Reserves estimation and reporting (ARPR)• Provide input to annual programme build; update/ propose projects for your respective fields that includes production forecast (oil/water/gas), wells, capex including engagement with management / shareholders for approval / support. • To optimize production from existing wells and reservoirs by carrying out well/pattern/sector and reservoir reviews• To carry out day to day well and reservoir performance monitoring and design data acquisition strategy.• Interpret reservoir surveillance data acquired (pressure transient tests, PVT, Production logging survey etc).• Liaise with Field Development centre for studies related to your fields. • Mentoring & coaching junior engineers / graduatesThis will be done in accordance with PDO Corporate objectives, guidelines, and required behaviors, and consistent with HSE principles Dimensions
- University degree in Engineering, Mathematics, Physics or equivalent technical subject with a minimum of 10-12 years experience- Exceeds the JCP3 for RE discipline- Technically strong in RE field with good all around knowledge of other PE disciplines and significant operational experience.- Good leadership skills; experience working effectively in multidisciplinary teams and is a strong team player- Experienced dynamic modeler and effective at utilizing the models for reservoir management- Effective communicator, ability to coach/mentor younger staff and ability to think beyond discipline.
• CR Identification: RE input to appraisal / NFE opportunities and data gathering requirements• Reserves: Lead RE for maturing CR opportunities via integrated modelling work, decline curve analysis and integration with study teams• Provide input to yearly Business Planning cycle with emphasis on maintaining the forecasting tool and incorporating realistic production forecasts, project phasing and development costs. Provide economic analysis of BP scenarios as required.• Contribute to well proposals, e.g. pressure prediction, well testing requirements and data acquisition programs for a wide variety of prospects spanning high pressure carbonates, complex clastic reservoirs, fractured and tight reservoirs.• Make a major technical contribution to PDO’s production growth.• Work with an integrated team of geoscientists and petroleum/production engineers to deliver quality dynamic reservoir modelling and studies to define future field (re)development opportunities and reserves potential• Prepare field development plans and reserves submissions to shareholders.• As a senior reservoir engineer, ensure that reservoir engineering standards are maintained, and that best practices are implemented, in your own area of work and contribute in to technical excellence across PDO. This will include participation in, and possibly leading, internal PDO project reviews (static and dynamic modelling reviews, internal VARs).• Reservoir management of area fields including well performance monitoring and planning and evaluating reservoir surveillance activities• Define well test requirements using appropriate reservoir models and analyze/ report on same• Define, coordinate and interpret pressure and fluid sampling requirements and results• Reserves: maturing scope opportunities via integrated modelling work, decline curve analysis and integration with study teams• Sharing Reservoir Engineering best practices across PDO• Coaching/mentoring of younger staff and feedback to team mates and leadership• Ensure alignment between Asset and Exploration w.r.t. potential development concepts for new discoveries, appropriate RFs, and timing.• Insure quality well and reservoir data is in corporate data base • RE input to FSN’s, RRR’s, models / FDP updates• Integrated modelling• New well location and optimization candidate selection• RE input to production and injection well target setting • Embedding and adhering to Development Planning Processes in own organisation• Participating in Development Planning Process Forum• Sharing Development Planning PWR’s across PDO • Annual Programme Build, ARPR for Cluster fields• RE input to generating and updating the Reservoir Management Plan• Short term and long term production forecasting • Coaching/mentoring of younger staff and feedback to team mates and leadership
