Upstream Location: Bahrain (Onsite)
Duration: 4 months, extendable based on performance
Start Date: ASAP
Seniority: 15+ years of experience
We are urgently seeking a highly experienced Senior Reservoir Simulation Engineer with strong expertise in gas reservoirs to support ongoing field development and reservoir management activities. The ideal candidate will bring at least 15 years of hands-on experience in simulation, modeling, and performance optimization for gas fields, with a proven track record using Petrel, ECLIPSE, and INTERSECT (FRONTSIM is a plus) . The role requires onsite delivery in Bahrain and the ability to drive results in a fast-paced environment.
A senior Reservoir Simulation Engineer:
• Is a fully qualified professional Reservoir Engineer, with a minimum of Bachelor degree in Petroleum Engineering, but preferably Master and above
• Is a professional that can demonstrate in excess of a minimum of 15 years of activity in reservoir Simulation and modeling
• Can demonstrate a variety of technical assignments requiring familiarity with a broad field of reservoir Engineering and knowledge of other domains: Petrophysics, Geophysics and modeling
• Can demonstrate an intimate knowledge of the subsurface analysis PVT analysis, SCAL modeling and Historical production interpretation.
Typical activities involve:
• Fundamental reservoir engineering analysis including material Balance, DCA and Well forecasting.
• PVT analysis for both Black oil and composition simulation including EoS matching.
• Relative permeability modeling, normalization and end point scaling
• Capillary pressure modeling including hysteresis
• History matching using experimental design and AI concept
• Basic EOR experience with strong simulation capabilities.
He/she participates in and works on reservoir studies for clients with the objective of creating history matching models that are suitable for prospect evaluation, dynamic fluid flow simulation and/or well placement planning.
He/she works in a team environment with petrophysicists, geophysicists and Modeler. Reservoir simulation engineer is the pivot between these disciplines who integrates the Geophysical, Petrophysical and Modelling.
The Reservoir Simulation Engineer:
• Applies broad knowledge and brings experience to identify problems.
• Balances priorities and interfaces with internal/external customers to ensure expectations are met within the confines of policies, technical and professional limits.
• Makes independent studies, analyses, interpretations and conclusions. Difficult, complex or unusual matters or decisions are usually referred to a more senior authority.
• Keeps others informed of actions and reasons behind them.
