Job Purpose
To provide integrated reservoir engineering and petrophysical expertise for accurate reservoir characterization, performance forecasting, and field exploration/development planning. The role is responsible for building and updating static and dynamic models in Petrel, performing petrophysical interpretations, and integrating multidisciplinary data to support optimized hydrocarbon recovery and effective reservoir management.
Key Responsibilities
- Build and maintain static geological models (structural framework/closures, facies, porosity, permeability, faults, and horizons) in Petrel
- Develop and update dynamic simulation models for history matching, production forecasting, and scenario evaluation
- Perform petrophysical interpretation of open-hole and cased-hole logs, core data, and special core analysis (SCAL)
- Generate rock and fluid property models for use in reservoir simulations
- Integrate geological, geophysical, and petrophysical data for comprehensive reservoir characterization
- Evaluate fluid contacts and reservoir boundaries using newly acquired data
- Conduct data quality control for logs and core data before integration into models
- Work with geophysicists to extract and analyse seismic attributes for lithology and fluid prediction
- Contribute to field development planning by evaluating multiple development and recovery scenarios
- Prepare technical reports, presentations, and documentation for internal reviews
- Stay updated on the latest technologies, workflows, and best practices in reservoir modelling, petrophysics, and seismic integration
Requirements
- Bachelor’s or master’s degree in petroleum engineering, Geoscience, or related discipline
- Minimum 7–10 years of relevant experience in reservoir engineering and petrophysical interpretation, including experience with seismic integration in Carbonate reservoirs
- Proficiency in Petrel for both static and dynamic modelling
- Strong experience in petrophysical analysis and log interpretation (open-hole, cased-hole, and production logs)
- Solid understanding of core analysis (routine and SCAL) and calibration with log data
- Knowledge of seismic interpretation and integration of seismic attributes into reservoir models
- Ability to integrate geological, geophysical, and petrophysical data for reservoir characterization and field development planning
- Strong problem-solving ability and attention to detail in data quality control and model validation
- Excellent technical reporting and presentation skills, with the ability to convey complex concepts clearly to multidisciplinary teams
- Proven ability to work collaboratively within multidisciplinary teams
- Commitment to staying updated with industry best practices, emerging technologies, and software advancements in reservoir modelling, petrophysics, and seismic analysis
