Job Description: Reservoir Engineer – Dec 20.
Reservoir Engineer
Company Overview
NEO Energy is an independent full-cycle energy business in the UK Continental Shelf (UKCS). We
combine value creation from the prospective North Sea basin with our commitment to be a
responsible and efficient business. We operate a high-quality asset base with significant scope to
grow production organically by extending asset life. Our ambition is to be one of the top five
producers in the UKCS, with a target of 100,000 boepd in 2022 and continued growth beyond.
Reports To
Subsurface Manager
Job Overview Working collaboratively within the Subsurface team, the Reservoir Engineer will be responsible for providing reservoir engineering solutions, interpretations and recommendations across the NEO portfolio of operated and non-operated assets. Roles and Responsibilities
• Execute reservoir engineering scope of work that is fit for purpose to effectively inform and progress existing fields, new development, near field exploration and business development projects;
• Develop, plan, coordinate and monitor subsurface work scopes for acquisition evaluations. Agree plan and resourcing requirements with Subsurface Manager.
• Identify key subsurface related levers that influence the recoverable volumes and value associated with BD projects. Ensure that key uncertainties are accounted for in the technical analysis and the value proposition
• Communicate and develop proactive relationships with RBL bank technical engineers. If required, coordinate the delivery of independent CPR for lending purposes.
• To come up with good ideas to enhance the value of an existing production field, new development/prospect and BD opportunities and to mitigate key risks by recommending data gathering activity and/or generating reservoir development plans that address key risks and uncertainties;
• To ensure timely communication of the status of RE studies and BD evaluations to the Subsurface Manager;
• As RE role is central to subsurface analysis RE needs to be proactive and effective in collecting input from and providing feedback to other disciplines that contribute to project evaluation;
• Tasks – the reservoir engineer will be expected to perform all tasks to an agreed standard. Typical tasks include:
o Use of numerical models, including simulation and material balance models: running existing models; modifying existing models; creating new models. Models should be fit for purpose and well QC’d.
Job Description: Reservoir Engineer – Dec 20.
o Use of analytical RE methods: Not every project requires use of a simulation model.
RE shall be equipped with analytical RE skills to provide technical interpretation in cases use of a simulation model is not warranted or practicable.
o Well test analysis. Any analysis will be non-unique, and the amount of information that can be derived will be dependent on the
o quality of the data. o Well planning. The value of future wells should be estimated in close collaboration
with the rest of the subsurface team. o Petrophysical analysis. The reservoir engineer should be comfortable with the
principles of petrophysics and have an understanding of raw and interpreted log curves.
o The reservoir engineer should take the lead on certain Special Core Analysis measurements such as relative permeabilities, capillary pressure and wettability.
• Liaise with other disciplines (including but not limited to G&G, Pphys, Development Eng., Production Eng., Economist, etc.) to ensure impact from/to these disciplines’ work are captured in the analysis effectively and in a timely manner.
Key knowledge and experience
• Proven industry track record of delivering high quality technical work from teams is essential;
• Affiliation to professional body e.g. SPE, SPEE, desirable certifications.
Education
• Undergraduate in science or engineering degree; • Post-graduate Petroleum Engineering qualification preferred; • Professional designation e.g. CGeol, CEng, is desirable.
