[ref. y39650302] Engineer, Reservoir Simulation
Job description / Role
Employment: Full Time
About the Company
We are the largest oil producer within the ADNOC Group, accounting for over half of ADNOC's total oil production. As the country's oldest oil production company, our operations date back to 1939, when a 75-year concession was signed to explore for oil and gas in Abu Dhabi.As a global industry leader in environmental sustainability, we are the first in the world to capture carbon from the iron and steel industry. Our Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) facility at Al Reyadah has the capacity to capture 800,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) from Emirates Steel Industries (ESI) each year, for use in the Bab and Rumaitha oil fields to support Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR).
Al Reyadah is, therefore, a critical enabler of ADNOC's 2030 sustainability goals.
About the Job

Key Accountabilities
Job Specific Accountabilities- Carries out all aspects of reservoir management activities including field development, performance evaluation, formulates reservoir development, data acquisition, strategic surveillance, and monitoring master plans to ensure optimal development and depletion strategies, reservoir and asset evaluation, vertical and lateral communication well prognosis, and supervises the integration between fields.
- Identifies, justifies, develops, and implements workflow to evaluate and manage the field in line with industry best practices. Uses advanced reservoir-engineering techniques and integrates dynamic and static data to identify field movement and implement optimization plans to maximize profitable recovery to enhance both NPV and hydrocarbon recovery and minimize UTC value.
- Governs field's production and injection capacities according to company objective guidelines along with drilling workover schedules and identifies mitigations in case of shortfalls.
- Identifies workflows to carry out pattern balancing and ensures efficient production and injection processes to maximize the vertical and lateral sweep efficiency. Leads, designs, and participates in integrated field reviews and field development plans (RMP considering the current wells and planned infill wells).
- Designs, leads, and integrates with feedback from simulation engineer in order to improve well sector and full field development performance review.
- Designs and leads the implementation of the project surveillance programs including pressure transient surveys, tracer surveys, interference testing, observation well placement, and cased hole logging programs.
- Provides expertise to identify and support reservoir-engineering studies using appropriate techniques, which may include reservoir simulation, material balance, and decline curve analysis.
- Conducts open-hole and cased-hole logs, completion, and production procedures and technologies.
- Prepares reservoir-engineering and planning overview input into drilling and work-over proposals and programs (E-Prognosis).
- Follows up RE requirements in the exploration wells during drilling and updates the plan as Formation Pressure Test log (XPT) to confirm fluids contact and gradients and fluid properties.
Generic Accountabilities
