SR. RESERVOIR ENGINEER

Primary Purpose Of The Job

Carry out appropriate reservoir engineering analysis and studies to ensure that

reservoirs are being developed and managed in the most optimum manner. Review

and update existing reservoir models based on new data and if required construct

suitable new models with available data. Ensure that sufficient and reliable data on

reservoir characteristics and performance is obtained and analysed to improve

reservoir characterization. Estimate hydrocarbons in place, forecast reservoir

behaviour and serve as a basis for special studies and programmes designed to

maximise oil recovery in assigned reservoirs. Identifies reservoirs requiring study and

participates in such studies involving close liaison with specialists in other disciplines

(e.g. Geologists, Petrophysicists) and the running of computerised simulation models

to process and analyse required data. Updates reservoir and well-files and data bases

and advises PSA operators of required tests, test intervals and test sample acquisition

methods.
