Petroleum Engineer III at Nautilus Nigeria Engineering and Construction Limited

MAIN FUNCTIONS

Petroleum Engineers are involved in the exploration, development and production of oil and gas. They provide specialty expertise in oil and gas drilling and completions, reservoir management and production. Roles vary depending on the operating environment (e.g., land or offshore).

TASKS AND RESPONSIBILITIES

• Ensuring proper implementation of established reservoir management strategies and surveillance plans including short-term adjustments to cater for operational constraints without compromising
• longer-term reservoir recovery.
• Ensuring that wellbore hydraulic models are accurate, up to date and accessible to Asset Level Team (ALT) technical staff via defined repositories/locations.
• Collaborating with multi-functional teams to identify, execute opportunities and optimize well performance.
• Identifying, validating, analysing and uploading pressure data including clarification/validation of Pressure-Volume-Temperature (PVT) assumptions for fluid density, downhole parameters and determination of missing parameters when required.
• Recognized as a leader or expert
• Interprets & incorporates industry info and advances
• Sound knowledge of other skills & able to apply in several areas
• Responsible for resolving entire complex problems

SKILLS AND QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelors of Engineering in Petroleum Engineering.
• Experience in the upstream / petrochemical / chemical / refinery or a similar industry
• Knowledge of petroleum engineering operations and production methods for oil and natural gas recovery
• Knowledgeable of Reservoir surveillance/modelling, wellbore performance modelling or practical reservoir pressure application such as field surveillance and optimization
• Understanding of Production/Well optimization and Artificial Lift system and technology via practical experiences in troubleshooting/diagnostic/optimizing well performance
