Petroleum Engineer at Matrix Energy Group

JOB DESCRIPTION

• As a Petroleum Engineer, you will play a crucial role in advancing our field development and operations support initiatives.
• Your responsibilities will include providing specialized petroleum engineering expertise in reservoir, production, and operations.
• By employing your skills, you will actively contribute to optimizing the production of oil and gas, ensuring proper well placement, implementing effective production levels, and applying advanced enhanced oil recovery techniques.

RESPONSIBILITIES AND ACCOUNTABILITIES

• Work in an integrated study team /asset development team to generate quality studies and field development plans.
• Make petroleum engineering input into and coordinate field development planning and integrated field studies, the required technical
• work will comprise but not limited to dynamic modelling, well/reservoir performance reviews, well models, development options evaluation and economics.
• Integrated production system modeling for production optimisation.
• Daily well surveillance and hydrocarbon accounting
• Well test review and validation.
• Daily well by well production allocation.
• Design, analysis, optimization, and troubleshooting of ESP/Gas lift wells.
• Design for gas lift start-up and continuous monitoring of gas lift operations.
• Monitoring water injection programme and voidage replacement ratio.
• Building and managing Prosper well models.
• Interfacing with Finance and Crude Lifting for crude export scheduling.
• Process downtime analysis and production deferment tracking.
• Participates in well surveillance activities (MER, BHP etc), and reservoir definition and behavior prediction of assigned reservoirs or fields.
• Conducts conventional reservoir engineering and simulation studies to identify optimum recovery and field development options, adjusts reservoir development plans in response to changes in well and reservoir performance.
• Perform well test design & interpretation, material balance modelling, and performance modelling of vertical and horizontal wells.
• Conducts, documents, and presents, field reviews, and further development proposals.
• Monitors production from existing fields, analyze all relevant data, and ensures that reservoirs are being properly managed, production is maximized and recoveries are optimal. To establish reservoir management strategies where they do not exist and update them where they do.
• Participates strongly in defining the scope and content of reservoir studies used to assist in determining well behavior and optimum recovery methods. Includes, establishing program specifications, reviewing available resources, preparing tender documents, reviewing, and evaluating bids and monitoring study team performance.
• Provides estimates of oil and gas resources by conducting annual reserves evaluation, classification, and booking for the assigned assets, and document the report in an appropriate format. i.e Annual Review of Petroleum Reserves (ARPR)
