| Purpose and Scope
Carries out routine reservoir engineering functions as assigned and attends well surveillance operations when required to provide guidance in test procedures or immediate analysis of results. Receives and calibrates pressure test elements and ensures timely updating of well data, charts, plots and data files. Contributes to the development of depletions strategy of assigned reservoirs in conjunction with more experienced team members. Undertakes routine studies to attain stated objectives and translate results into operational guidelines.
AccountabilitiesKey Performance Indicators
Participates in reservoir/well evaluation studies and monitors the performance of oil/gas and injection wells. Includes collating relevant data; checking quality of received logs; calculating well injectivity index; identifying decline rate by sector/flank/type of reservoir and aquifer/ completion type; interpolating flow and build-up test data; and describing well behaviour.Production of accurate study results for; Transient well test analysis and interpretation Reservoir performance/Material balance Problematic well diagnostics
Runs computer simulation models to history match past performance of reservoirs and predict future behaviour under direction of more experienced engineer.Successful running of reservoir models under supervision. Ability to analyse results.
Compiles and runs reservoir models to identify various aspects of reservoir behaviours which will be translated into operational requirements to maximize recovery and meet production quotas.Analyses of reservoir simulation results. Prepared well programs to maintain production profile.
Establishes and follow up reservoir study work program to optimise hydrocarbon recovery in the assigned reservoirs. Includes reviewing/analysing findings and implementing study recommendations.Reservoir studies work program. Prepared field programs to enhance oil recovery.
Monitors pressure behaviour in assigned reservoirs and aquifers by examining and calculating survey data from observation wells to establish/confirm trends, investigates and explains anomalies and recommends remedial actions.Accurate analysis of well testing and well diagnostics. Remedial action programs for problematic wells.
Recommends and specifies requirements for the testing programs of development wells; appraisal wells and pilot projects (e.g. P.W.I pilot, etc.):Detailed engineering programs for testing and pilot projects.
Carries out data management duties to ensure consistency of acquired data. Includes verifying collected data, analysing and interpreting data using available techniques and identifying areas requiring further study. Accurate analysis and interpretation of field data.
Participates in well site operations to ensure adherence to reservoir engineering test procedures and requirements. Includes performing on rig site duty during well operations or production testing; initiating appropriate pressure tests; and estimating appropriate depth for testing and providing immediate readings of tests, as required.Well test designs meet specified test objectives.
