The Reservoir Engineer is responsible for maximizing hydrocarbon recovery and optimizing reservoir performance across operated and non-operated assets. The role involves reservoir evaluation, production forecasting, simulation modeling, reserves estimation, and technical support for development planning and investment decisions.

Responsibilities

·       Prepare, update, and manage the daily production database for operated and non-operated fields.

·       Analyze production performance and recommend strategies to optimize hydrocarbon recovery throughout the project lifecycle.

·       Conduct variance analysis of actual production versus forecast and budget.

·       Perform reserves evaluation for exploration and development leases using volumetric and static methods.

·       Apply Decline Curve Analysis (DCA) for reserves booking and production forecasting.

·       Conduct material balance calculations for oil and gas reservoirs to support reservoir management decisions.

·       Assist in the development of short-term and long-term production forecasts and budgets.

·       Design and interpret Pressure Transient Tests (PTA), including drawdown, buildup, and deliverability analysis.

·       Perform PVT analysis and nodal analysis for operated and non-operated wells/fields.

·       Identify favorable hydrocarbon zones for perforation and re-perforation using open-hole and cased-hole log data.

·       Witness and supervise onsite data acquisition activities such as DST, PLT/PSP, BHP surveys, and surface well testing.

·       Build, run, and update reservoir simulation models using industry-standard simulators.

·       Support integrated reservoir studies to optimize well placement, timing, compression strategies, and enhanced recovery schemes.

·       Provide simulation-based input for Field Development Plans (FDPs) and investment proposals.

·       Assist in preparation of development plans, production profiles, and economic evaluations for investment proposals.

·       Evaluate farm-in opportunities and potential asset acquisitions.

·       Support planning of future operations and assess resources required to execute development strategies.

·       Prepare reservoir engineering sections for Documents of Compliance (DOCs), Field Development Plans (FDPs), well completion reports, and other technical documentation.

·       Prepare and deliver reservoir management presentations in Technical Committee Meetings and Workshops.

·       Support management in preparation of technical and corporate presentations.

Required Qualifications

·       Bachelor’s degree in Petroleum Engineering (Master’s degree preferred).

·       6–10 years of relevant experience in reservoir engineering (experience level may be adjusted based on organizational needs).

·       Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.

·       Good communication and presentation skills.

·       Ability to work collaboratively in multidisciplinary teams.
