PURPOSE
Maximize production from Al-Shaheen reservoirs base well stock through effective reservoir management
best practices, reservoir surveillance plans, opportunities identification and maturation.
Consolidates all RMO teams’ transverse activities and studies.
ACCOUNTABILITIES
- Reservoir management activities to maximise production and minimise base production decline

- Identification and maturation of production improvement opportunities (in collaboration with Field Operations, Drilling & Wells, New Well Delivery, Integrated Performance & Planning)
- Timely consolidation of monthly profiles for short term production forecast (Rolling Forecast)
- Effective collaboration between RMO IRM team and other RGS and NOC entities (including Field Operations, Drilling & Wells)
- Propose innovative solutions to improve the voidage replacement and increase wells potential
- Conduct transverse studies, fine grid models, slugging, decline analysis, PTA and PLT analysis
- Perform simulation and models history match when required for reservoir management purposes
- Timely delivery (at the highest quality) of the activities of IRM team members
- Coordination and consolidation cross RMO teams’ activities and studies
- Support Profiles and Reserves team by providing data for Integrated Asset Modelling
- Identification of required internal and external studies and their associated budgets
- Provide support to RMO teams, G&G and engineers in RMO unit
- Coach young professionals and contribute to the Qataris development.
ACTIVITIES
- Perform detailed wells performance analysis and post-mortem synthesis
- Perform transverse subsurface studies to improve production and injection (slugging, NFA decline analysis, stabilization analysis, GL optimization, ..etc)
- Perform simulation studies to define optimum injection (Water and WAG), short term forecasting, and voidage replacement improvement
- Use of segmented well modelling (IX) both 3D and Single Well Models to optimize and design ALS complex wells
- Consolidate and prioritize reservoir surveillance plans, and ensure close follow-up
- Ensure opportunities identification, ranking and maturation (Workovers, Stimulation, ..etc) until FID for Deep Redrills, workovers and other opportunities
- Follow-up with service providers external studies (subsurface, PVT, SCAL, modelling, ..etc)
- Consolidate the yearly reservoir management plans (RMP) and ensure their execution
- Monthly follow-up of potential and production and consolidate reasons for deviations
- Consolidate cross RMO teams activities and studies and:
- RoFo consolidation and consolidated decline analysis
- Voidage prioritization, WAG cycles optimization, WI and Gas Lift optimization
- RSP definition and pre-arbitration, coordination of surface sampling, and PVT analysis follow-up
- Synthesis and consolidation of wells post-mortem and loopback, IRM shareholder’s meeting presentation and cross-teams consolidation
- Reservoir Surveillance Plan definition and execution
- Reservoir Management (RESM) materials for SH’s quarterly meetings
- Opportunities ranking and maturation requirements
- Support the New Well Delivery team all along the WO’s SOR process
- Coach and mentor junior team members and Qatari young professionals.
