Reservoir Engineer

Overview

Support the bp shareholder team in Mumbai on the KGD-6 hopper and NEC-25 development with its key JV operating partner Reliance Industries Ltd., integrating reservoir dynamic performance into the subsurface description and producing near- and long-term production forecasts.

What you'll do

• Support delivery of the Area Development Plan, fully integrating Operation, Risk Management, Surveillance, Resource Progression and Technology.
• Integrate field dynamic performance and surveillance data, and develop and own short-term and long-term production forecasts.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary bp and RIL teams to support and assure development strategies and reservoir management plans.
• Support ongoing subsurface work to identify growth projects and technologies vital to maintain production in the medium and long term.
• Work closely and regularly collocate with the operator's technical teams on a weekly basis.
• Demonstrate bp standard methodologies, processes and workflows across reservoir engineering to actively influence and challenge RIL, driving adoption of bp views on subsurface uncertainty and risk.
• Drive surveillance data acquisition strategies with the operator to help improve production optimization opportunities.
• Engage with stakeholders, delivering clear, compelling inputs to technical committee meetings.
• Support evaluation of hopper infill options and new developments proposed by the operator, and drive inputs to FMs to advise investment governance decisions.
• Deliver high-quality technical outputs with a high degree of autonomy.

What you'll need

• Minimum 10 years' broad subsurface experience, ideally gained through diverse work assignments.
• Degree in Petroleum Engineering or equivalent program (Mechanical/Chemical/Physics) from an accredited university.
• Experience in field appraisal, development planning, new well delivery and projects.
• Experience in surveillance planning, analysis, and interpretation for risk management and resource progression.
• Integration of classical reservoir engineering tools, e.g. MBAL / GAP, with pressure / rate transient analysis data.
• Experience in production management.
• Understanding of the basics of well performance and base production management.
• Experience or awareness in resource progression management using PRMS / SEC guidelines.
• Experience working in multi-discipline project teams and ability to influence others to provide quality inputs to team deliverables.
• Ability to coordinate and lead cross-team workshops and meetings.
• Appreciates the challenges of, and value generated by, a highly diverse working environment.

Nice to have
