* Provide reservoir engineering input to multidisciplinary field development plans.
* Evaluate reservoir behavior using production, injection, pressure, geological, and petrophysical information.
* Integrate dynamic and static reservoir data to improve understanding of fluid movement and field performance.
* Apply advanced reservoir engineering techniques to identify production and recovery optimization opportunities.
* Develop technical workflows for reservoir evaluation and field management in line with recognized industry practices.
* Assess reservoir and asset performance and recommend actions that improve profitable hydrocarbon recovery.
* Estimate and govern field production and injection capacities according to approved company objectives.
* Coordinate production and injection capacity planning with drilling and workover schedules.
* Identify potential shortfalls in production or injection capacity and develop practical mitigation options.
* Evaluate field constraints that could affect planned production targets.
* Develop workflows for pattern balancing to improve production and injection efficiency.
* Review injector and producer relationships to support effective reservoir pressure management.
* Lead well, sector, and full-field performance reviews.
* Identify underperforming reservoir sectors and investigate technical causes.
* Recommend well interventions, surveillance, drilling, or operating changes where reservoir performance can be improved.
* Lead reservoir surveillance program development and implementation.
* Design pressure transient survey programs to improve understanding of reservoir and well behavior.
* Develop tracer survey requirements where fluid movement or connectivity requires further evaluation.
* Plan and interpret interference testing used to assess communication between wells.
* Support selection and placement of observation wells for reservoir monitoring.
* Develop cased hole logging programs to obtain information required for reservoir management.
* Evaluate reservoir pressure, saturation movement, fluid contacts, and production trends using available surveillance data.
* Conduct or lead reservoir simulation studies to assess field development and recovery scenarios.
* Apply material balance methods where appropriate to estimate reservoir behavior and hydrocarbon volumes.
* Use decline curve analysis to evaluate well and field production performance.
* Compare simulation predictions with actual performance and update reservoir understanding where necessary.
* Support history matching and calibration of reservoir models using field surveillance information.
* Evaluate development scenarios using full-field simulation models.
* Assess production and injection forecasts under alternative development strategies.
* Provide reservoir engineering support for new well locations and well prognosis preparation.
* Participate in multidisciplinary discussions involving geology, geophysics, petrophysics, drilling, production technology, and operations.
* Communicate reservoir risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and recommended actions clearly to project stakeholders.
* Maintain technical documentation supporting reservoir studies, forecasts, surveillance programs, and development decisions.
Ideal Profile
The position requires a Bachelor\'s degree in Reservoir Engineering, Petroleum Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or an equivalent engineering discipline.
Candidates should have at least 8 years of reservoir engineering experience covering oil and gas field development, reservoir management, and production performance evaluation.
