Duties:

• Using basic reservoir engineering principles, including flow through porous media, relative permeability, nodal analysis and multi-phase flow to evaluate single well applications.
• Applying well log results (resistivity, FDC/CNL, gamma ray and sonic logs in open hole completions; and CBL, diplog, carbon oxygen and production logs in cased holes) to correlate porous and non-porous lithologic members from logs and cores.
• Interpreting a production logging survey.
• Assessing validity of PVT data, and adjust results to correct errors. Estimate PVT data from oil and gas properties and correlations.
• Estimating reservoir pressure from interpretation of RFT/MDT survey and/or reservoir pressure from interpretation of pressure transient tests.
• Determining initial oil or gas in place from geologic maps and rock and fluid properties.
• Applying statistical- probabilistic methods to estimate reserves using appropriate ranges of uncertainty.
• Applying material balance techniques, including gas cap and water influx, for determining initial oil and gas in place.
• Applying conventional well test data (including pressure build-up, draw down, fall-off/injection) to determine well performance and reservoir characteristics. Calculate vertical/horizontal well productivity indices
• Assessing appropriate recovery factor ranges and calculate recoveries for field or reservoir applying conventional (deterministic & performance) methods and drive mechanisms
• Applying principles of drive mechanisms, material balance, pressure maintenance, recovery estimating, decline analysis and volumetrics to determine oil reservoir performance.
• Determining where to perforate production and injection wells taking into account degree of pressure communication and impermeable barriers.
• Assessing optimum water flood/gas injection based on reservoir zonation, flood pattern analysis, injectivity and flood design.
• Understanding and applying reservoir simulation to analyze reservoir performance and optimize reservoir development.   
• Understanding the concepts of decision and risk analysis and have an appreciation of the key factors that control uncertainty in recovery factor and reservoir performance.

Applicants should have:

• University Degree in Petroleum Engineering
• 5 years experience in field development studies of reservoir engineering analysis and reservoir simulation.
• Working experience in West Africa and proven track record in an operating subsidiary is a clear plus.
• Ability to co-ordinate and manage a wide range of data, to manage a multi- discipline team.
• Communication skills and the capacity to provide accurate reporting.
• Proficient user of Eclipse 100, Flogrid, Schedule, Office, Scal, Pvti, OFM, PetroWorks and Landmark software, well test, Wellflo, MBAL, Cristall Ball
• Knowledge in Cased Hole Logs and Open Hole Logs interpretation
