Senior Reservoir Engineer I

Job Purpose

  • Plan, coordinate and oversee programs for acquisition and analysis of reservoir data.
  • Formulate reservoir strategies designed to maximize ultimate economic hydrocarbon recovery.
  • Provide reservoir engineering support to optimize the implementation of field development plans.
  • Support New Ventures and Exploration departments in evaluating new development opportunities and assessing their risk.

Job Responsibilities

  • Conduct preliminary assessments of archived and new reservoir, development and production data.
  • Coordinate and manage subsurface data acquisition and quality control programs in areas such as fluid sampling, pressure monitoring, PVT analysis and special core analysis.
  • Define reservoir engineering requirements for transient tests, and work with engineering and operations staff to design testing programs.
  • Interpret field data, laboratory results and reservoir studies to reliably assess reservoir performance.
  • Estimate oil and gas reserves and review performance trends using material balance calculations, simulation study results, production decline curve analysis, pressure data and other available methods. Assess ultimate economic recovery potential from initial or current production to abandonment.
  • Develop reliable short- and medium-term production forecasts based on estimates of oil and gas in place, understanding of reservoir drive mechanisms, information from static reservoir models, results of numerical simulations and analysis of current reservoir performance.
  • Identify, quantify and present opportunities for appraisal, development, production optimization and utilization of new technologies and tools.
  • Perform economics and risk assessment studies of planned reservoir development projects and conduct initial technical and economic evaluations.
  • Provide technical and economic input into evaluating the improved oil recovery potential of assigned assets.
  • Participate in defining the range of studies to be submitted by consultants with respect to particular projects, and provide input into the consultant selection and performance monitoring process

Education

  • Bachelor's degree or higher in Petroleum Engineering or closely related discipline.
  • Minimum 10 years of experience with an international exploration and production (E&P) operator in reservoir management, and a broad background in field development planning (particularly in offshore clastic and multilayered reservoirs. High level of skill in reservoir engineering software applications.

Common Interview Questions And Answers

1. HOW DO YOU PLAN YOUR DAY?

This is what this question poses: When do you focus and start working seriously? What are the hours you work optimally? Are you a night owl? A morning bird? Remote teams can be made up of people working on different shifts and around the world, so you won't necessarily be stuck in the 9-5 schedule if it's not for you...

2. HOW DO YOU USE THE DIFFERENT COMMUNICATION TOOLS IN DIFFERENT SITUATIONS?

When you're working on a remote team, there's no way to chat in the hallway between meetings or catch up on the latest project during an office carpool. Therefore, virtual communication will be absolutely essential to get your work done...

3. WHAT IS "WORKING REMOTE" REALLY FOR YOU?

Many people want to work remotely because of the flexibility it allows. You can work anywhere and at any time of the day...

4. WHAT DO YOU NEED IN YOUR PHYSICAL WORKSPACE TO SUCCEED IN YOUR WORK?

With this question, companies are looking to see what equipment they may need to provide you with and to verify how aware you are of what remote working could mean for you physically and logistically...

5. HOW DO YOU PROCESS INFORMATION?

Several years ago, I was working in a team to plan a big event. My supervisor made us all work as a team before the big day. One of our activities has been to find out how each of us processes information...

6. HOW DO YOU MANAGE THE CALENDAR AND THE PROGRAM? WHICH APPLICATIONS / SYSTEM DO YOU USE?

Or you may receive even more specific questions, such as: What's on your calendar? Do you plan blocks of time to do certain types of work? Do you have an open calendar that everyone can see?...

7. HOW DO YOU ORGANIZE FILES, LINKS, AND TABS ON YOUR COMPUTER?

Just like your schedule, how you track files and other information is very important. After all, everything is digital!...
