مهندس مكامن أول

Job Purpose

**This position will be on a 3 year renewable contract.**

Responsible for working independently to provide technical input into the de-risking, development and execution of EOR methods to increase field production and potential. Input will include leading internal technical studies and developing/following external support heads.

Key Accountabilities

• Propose and design data acquisition programs to support EOR maturation.
• Provide technical input into and lead EOR projects through the maturation process
• Accountable for mentoring junior team members on EOR modelling techniques and strategies.
• Provide expert modelling assistance for the building and maintaining of simulation models to support EOR projects.
• Developing reservoir modelling strategies and workflows that are fit for purpose and can deliver technical results intime to support the business process.
• Develop, follow-up and lead major external studies put in place to support the maturation of EOR throughout all of the ALS reservoirs
• Producing high-quality presentation material for the purpose of engaging internally and externally with stakeholders

ACTIVITIES

• Autonomy in the field of dynamical simulation with specific emphasis on EOR modelling using Eclipse and IX.
• Coordinate specialty studies necessary for the development of EOR reservoir simulation models.
• Strong participation in Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) pilot and their implementation in Field Development, including monitoring aspects.
• The candidate should be experienced in a broad range of EOR techniques and the associated maturation workflows. Specific knowledge in low API/permeability EOR applications is preferable.
• Developing EOR deployment strategies (pilot, small commercial pilots and large-scale deployment) with an emphasis on ensuring all proposals are supported by a positive business case
• The individual must be able to work independently and have sufficient experience to propose, mature and drive work programmes that are specifically tailored towards eventual field trial/deployment within a realistic timeframe.
• Following and guiding third party contractors brought onboard to support EOR evaluation/de-risking
• Assist with maintaining the EOR roadmap and progressing assigned projects through the various defined decision gates.
• Provide EOR input into the annual reserves process, LRBP and RoFo exercise
• Act as an EOR simulation point of excellence and provide support to NOC of modelling strategies
• Participation in maturing EOR technology field trials
• Participations in maturing of EOR monitoring plans
• Provide validated relevant data (production profiles) to be used for economic evaluation of each project/well/study.
• Propose and support reservoir data acquisitions programs (fluids, conventional and SCAL, well testing, logs, cores, etc) to support EOR maturation.
• Represent NOC in presentation and validation of technical work by internal and external stakeholders.
• Responsible for the independent generation of high-quality presentation and documentation material for internal and external use.
