Geomodeller at Sahara Group

Purpose Statement

• To  develop reliable subsurface reservoir models and provide field life update for the reservoirs that make the development Plan and development Drilling and Completions.

Key Deliverables:

• Build and update static earth and reservoir models, the essential member of well planning, field development activities, planning & monitoring operational activities across company’s asset locally and internationally
• Input to geological projects and studies and integrate study results in to field development models
• Perform model building and uncertainty modelling to ensure consistent models that are fit for purpose for Well re-entry plans, well intervention plans, Exploration and development drilling, and is essential for Full Field Development planning. Primary Liaison with Senior Reservoir engineer to ensure proper links between static model and dynamic model work as well work and drilling progress.
• Provision critical input to field data gathering and reservoir monitoring program
• Present results internally to management and externally to partners (government and other third parties). Liaise with partners to resolve technical issues.
• Help build and maintain accurate and comprehensive databases of data gathered in conjunction with Geoscience team members.
• Evaluate and communicate geological uncertainties feeding into additional data acquisition plans and capture in uncertainty analysis and reservoir modelling.
• Prepare supporting documentation on infill or further development drilling opportunities, including budgets, presentations, well proposals, well AFE's and well diaries as required.
• Align technical activities with business objectives to ensure timely delivery of fit for purpose solutions.
• Reinforce best practices in Geomodeling techniques and Petrel workflows in subsurface/Geoscience team
• Provide high quality geological evaluations, reservoir and well correlations to the Development Team.
• Define field data acquisition programs & field monitoring, including Wireline, LWD, coring and fluid sampling in collaboration with other members of the team.
• Provide technical assistance to other Subsurface team members
