Reservoir Management & Performance Lead

Job Purpose

• To provide high-level technical expertise, advise and strategic guidance on all reservoir performance and management aspects including surveillance activities, performance monitoring, opportunities evaluation, and optimizing injection to maximize recovery.
• The role supports the Reservoir Management & Opportunities Manager in ensuring the long-term sustainability of oil production and water / gas injection enabling informed decisions that extends the wells platue.
• The Senior Advisor will focus on well performance diagnostics, reservoir behaviour analysis, identifying anomalies, and integration of subsurface insights into operational aspects in order to optimize and unlock short / mid-term potential.
• This position also contributes to the continuous improvement of reservoir management practices and supports knowledge transfer across RGS teams

Key Accountabilities

• Propose innovative solutions to improve production, injection and voidage replacement
• Identify technology initiatives and support their maturation (from scoping to execution)
• Consolidation across RMO team’s activities and studies and counsels to RMO Manager on arbitrations / prioritizations / optimizations
• Mentor junior reservoir engineers and contribute to technical knowledge sharing
• Represent the Reservoir Management team in technical discussions and collaborative forums
• Act as RMO Manager when required.

• Provide technical advice to RMO teams on the RSP / RESM activities and ways of improving them
• Provide expert recommendations to optimize oil recovery through well-level diagnostics and reservoir behavior analysis
