- Working with earth scientists to carry out annual review of oil and associated gas reserves to ensure estimates are reliable.
- Making annual updates to producing reservoirs.
- While working closely with other disciplines, carry out petroleum engineering aspects of oil developments. This includes:
- Nodal analysis to estimate well production potentials.
- Material balance modelling to match historical reservoir performance and to forecast future performance.
- Reservoir simulation modelling to match historical reservoir performance and to forecast future performance.
- Reservoir fluid Pressure-Volume-Temperature (PVT) modelling.
- Surface facility modelling.
- Working closely with geologists, modelers, and Petro physicists 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.
- Interfacing with economic analyst to estimate investment outcomes of alternative development scenarios.
- The use of economic models provided 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 petroleum engineers working on gas 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. Providing information and clarity on projects, or any other issues that may arise.
- Meeting with officials of Nigerian Petroleum Development Company (NPDC) as required to reach alignment on projects, providing information and clarity 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.
Requirements
What are we looking for?
- A Bachelor’s Degree or Higher in Petroleum Engineering, Chemical Engineering or Process Engineering.
- Relevant professional membership (e.g., Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE), Nigerian Society of Engineers (NSE), etc.)
- Minimum of 3 years of subsurface oil and gas industry experience.
- Familiarity with petroleum engineering principles (e.g., nodal analysis, etc.).
- Familiarity with well and reservoir modelling software (e.g. Prosper, MBAL, GAP, PVTP, Petrel e.t.c.)
- Strong analytical skills.
- Good communication and interpersonal skills.
- Well-organized with ability to perform amidst competing tight deadlines
