JOB DESCRIPTION
As an Experienced Petroleum Engineering Team Lead, you will be responsible for:
- Working with other disciplines to carry out annual review of and updates to oil and gas reserves to ensure estimates are reliable.
- Providing timely requisite reports for statutory and business needs.
- Providing operational guidance to the activities of Reservoir Engineering, Geoscience, Well Engineering, G&G services and technical support.
- Managing production and cost forecasting for business planning.
- Supervising the planning of drilling activities for reservoir development and contribute in the preparation of the Drilling/Workover plans
While working closely with other disciplines, carrying out petroleum engineering aspects of oil developments. This includes:
- Nodal analysis to estimate well production potentials.
- Material balance modelling.
- Reservoir simulation modelling.
- Reservoir fluid Pressure-Volume-Temperature (PVT) modelling.
- Surface facility modelling.
- Working closely with earth scientists to understand geologic uncertainties and ensure they are incorporated in reservoir models.
- Selecting appropriate ranges of key uncertainties to achieve high confidence uncertainty ranges in forecast reservoir performance.
- Optimizing number and type of wells and completion types.
- Interfacing with facility and drilling engineers to evaluate alternative facility and well configurations.
- The use of economic models to estimate economic outcomes.
- Working with economic analyst to rank well drilling opportunities to ensure that the most profitable opportunities are drilled earliest when practical.
- Working with engineers working on oil assets to coordinate development of oil rims and gas caps in reservoirs with thin oil rims and large gas caps.
- Visiting field locations to become familiar with oil production and gas processing assets, and for other reasons related to responsibilities.
- Participating in formulating conceptual development plans of exploration opportunities, estimating the corresponding investment and production potential, and the resulting economic value.
- Preparing and updating Field Development Plans and participate in securing Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) approval.
- Meeting with officials of NUPRC as required to obtain well intervention, well drilling and project approvals. Provide information and clarity on projects, or any other issues that may arise
- Meeting with personnel of NNPC E&P Limited (NEPL) – our JV partners – as required to reach alignment on projects, or any other issues that may arise.
- Participating in the computation of flare numbers to ensure that they are accurate. Recommend the installation of meters where required.
- Participating in the joint venture budget review process with our partners.
- Ensuring timely compliance with regulatory requirements.
- Participating in reserves and production forecast reviews by consultants.
- Performing other duties as may be assigned by your manager.
What are we looking for?
- Bachelor’s degree or higher in Petroleum Engineering, Chemical Engineering or Process Engineering.
- Relevant professional qualification / membership
- Minimum of 10 years of subsurface oil and gas industry experience
- Material Balance Methods and Applications
- Integrated production modeling
- 3D Reservoir Simulation
- Field Development Planning
