This is an opportunity for a motivated experienced individual to join a fast-paced and exciting Reservoir Management Team a core division of the wider Subsurface whilst contributing to a sustainable future for the people of Iraq.

The Senior Reservoir Engineer role is accountable for production delivery, day to day management of these giant reservoirs, its world-class waterfloods and the activity sets underpinning the O-8Q operating plan.

A key part of the contract is the development of national staff and this position will be accountable for implementing the development programmes devised for the national reservoir engineers, as well as identifying further development opportunities for them. The role is aimed at developing reservoir management capability, with primary responsibility of coaching and mentoring of Iraqi Reservoir Engineers to this purpose.

The requisite reservoir management skills will be transferred to Iraqi staff by means of focused coaching and supervised on the job training. Additional learning will be provided by targeted training courses.

Activities relating to skills development of Iraqi staff via coaching will represent 50% of the role. The other 50% will be focused on providing reservoir management expertise and inputs relating to oilfield production.

 

Key Accountabilities

• Coaching and mentoring of Iraqi Reservoir Engineers to develop their skills in strategic reservoir management.

• Update and maintenance of Reservoir Engineering personal development plans (competencies and training plan) and continual assessment of individual progress.

• Responsible for cross-disciplinary integration of data (static reservoir description, dynamic surveillance, and production data) – from field start up to end of production

• Work closely with Reservoir engineers, Geologists and Petrophysicists to develop understanding of current distribution and volume of remaining hydrocarbons, support production plan.

• Work Closely with RST to implement the long-term reservoir management strategy, to manage and provide input into operating plan, base management activities and finding new production opportunities.

• Actively lead the reservoir engineering workfront in the identification and progression of value adding opportunities into the Wellwork hopper and the update of NWD Hopper.
