Role Profile

The Specialist Reservoir Engineer leads integrated static and dynamic reservoir simulation models to support field development decisions and company governance requirements.

The role owns the reservoir model lifecycle from build through validation, updates, and application.

Core Role Scope

  • Develop fit-for-purpose, history-matched dynamic simulation models.
  • Integrate geology, petrophysics, PVT, SCAL, pressure, production, seismic, and log data.
  • Support field development optimization, well placement, and production forecasting.
  • Deliver scenarios, sensitivities, uncertainties, and decision-ready technical outputs.
  • Act as a technical focal point for simulation deliverables in governance meetings and workshops.
  • Update models with new data and manage multiple parallel deliverables and support requests.

Technical Experience

  • Experience with static and dynamic simulation modelling, 3D model building, initialization, history matching, and uncertainty handling.
  • Experience with development forecasting, sensitivity analysis, uncertainty quantification, and production forecasting.
  • Experience supporting field development planning, recovery factors, well placement, pressure maintenance, and injection strategy.
  • Experience with STOIIP uncertainty, reservoir connectivity, performance risk, and P10, P50, and P90 scenarios.
  • Experience preparing technical presentations, approval packages, and governance deliverables.

First 6 to 12 Months

  • Deliver an integrated static-dynamic simulation model and a history-matched reservoir model.
  • Complete data quality control, integration, and audit-ready assumptions and uncertainty documentation.
  • Present model re-evaluation results and deliver endorsement-ready technical packages.
  • Provide production forecasts, development scenarios, sensitivity cases, and field development strategy support.
  • Deliver STOIIP uncertainty analysis, P10, P50, and P90 ranges, and risked production outlooks.
  • Update models using new wells, pressure, and surveillance data and maintain alignment with IRM requirements.
  • Interface with geology, petrophysics, production, and facilities teams to deliver an integrated subsurface model.

Governance and Compliance

  • Comply with applicable HSE policies, procedures, legislation, sustainability guidelines, international standards, and company codes of practice.
  • Implement approved department policies, processes, systems, standards, and procedures.

Business and Delivery Scope

Balance model complexity with practicality and support field development optimization and production sustainability.

Support economic evaluations, production profiles for business planning, and development scenarios.
