• Plan and implement fit-for-purpose surveillance data acquisition, interpretation and management for production maximization and to meet statutory requirements.
• Drive the implementation of production system optimization activities based on WRFM global processes and minimum standards, including building integrated models (IPSM).
• Lead a structured review of wells (including closed-in wells) and reservoirs in the node to identify short term oil/gas generation opportunities or propose future use plan for the wells.
• Monitor and participate in milestone QA/QCs in accordance to DCAF requirements and ensure that the relevant technical assurance is completed for all disciplines that participate in WRFM
• Provide input to the resource volume and forecast data in the annual business plan, medium term and short-term activity plans.
• Support SEC, NNS and PRCS‑compliant resource volume estimation and reporting.
• Embed HSSE principles in all work activities.
• Foster strong integration and maintain productive working relationships with other disciplines and partners
• Provide strong leadership and effective coaching to team members to strengthen technical capability within the team.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree (or higher) in Engineering or Science.
• Proven experience in completion design, artificial lift, sand control management, production enhancement & optimisation and well integrity management.

Job Description

• At Shell, Subsurface excellence sits at the core of our investment decisions and energy ambitions. As part of our Deepwater team, you will work with passionate professionals committed to unlocking resource value safely, responsibly, and competitively.
• This role offers the opportunity to innovate, influence major development activities, support high‑value assets, and deliver tangible production impact. If you want to shape the future of wells, reservoirs, and field management in one of Shell’s most dynamic environments, this is your chance.

Role Purpose
Perform and support all aspects of Reservoir Engineering in support of work program that would replenish SNEPCo Deepwater Asset production by executing rig workover and new drilling activities in the ADSSM DW team.  These activities include: 

• Implement the Post DG-3 Development activities that will increase and safeguard and optimize the asset production potential and long term ultimate recovery.  
• To apply scientific principles to understand and predict dynamic reservoir performance and generate production forecasts and resource volume estimates for new wells (pre/post drilling).  
• Estimate recoverable volumes and forecast for new opportunities 
• Ensure discipline input are captured in the well proposals 
• Support data acquisition (PVT, Cores and logs) and risk and uncertainty management 
• Support well and reservoir monitoring and management activities 
• Ensure compliant resource volume estimation & reporting

Accountabilities

• Post DG3 Development activities, execution of rig workover and new drilling activities  
• Ensuring timely and integrated delivery with all other disciplines and stakeholders in the activities of the team, including wells, CWI, Regulator and partners
• Application of appropriate (new) technologies, provide RE input to the activities such as Well Completion, intervention and workover etc;  
• Identify and lead execution of short-term and long-term oil and gas generating activities 
• Perform analyses to understand and predict dynamics of reservoirs for new opportunity. Document results on discipline specific issues. 
• Prepare and lead execution of proposals for reservoir data acquisition. Screen proposals from junior staff. Collect and interpret data and initiate follow-up activities.  
• Provide advice on Reservoir Engineering matters related to well planning, drilling and completion operations 
• Ensure DEP compliance delivery and documented assurance of Pore Pressure Prediction estimates for new well and all well entry activities, including abandonment 
• Coordinate Technical Assurance of individual deliverables. Liase with TA2/1 to ensure QC actions are closed out and documented. 
• Participate in Reservoir Engineering Discipline activities. Be part of one discipline improvement project
