Subsurface Group

Job Description:

Our purpose is to deliver energy to the world, today and tomorrow. For over 100 years, bp has focused on discovering, developing, and producing oil and gas in the nations where we operate. We are one of the few companies globally that can provide governments and customers with an integrated energy offering. Delivering our strategy sustainably is fundamental to achieving our ambition to be a net zero company by 2050 or sooner.

Would you like to contribute to production forecasting, assist with surveillance planning and the identification of wellwork and new-drill opportunities?

We are looking for Reservoir Engineer (RE) to join our team in Azerbaijan!

We expect you to monitor, analyse and optimize the performance of waterflooded reservoirs in the Azeri, Chirag and Gunashli (ACG) reservoirs with occasional support and guidance from Senior RE. Successful candidate will integrate surveillance data to improve understanding of reservoir processes and performance.

Key Accountabilities:

Integrate all relevant data to support recommendations regarding new well targets, aligned with the depletion plan.

Support delivery of targets through the new well delivery process including generation of new well production and incremental value profiles.

Lead and perform analyses for optimizing waterflooding and contact management that support the development scheme and performance of the field recovery with strong classical skills and tools and simulation supported workflows.

Use our simulation toolkit to help drive near term business optimizations such as Value of Water determination through time by reservoir, well spacing and interference for incremental new well delivery profiles as examples.

Support preparation for pattern reviews and lead ideas for improvement of current Reservoir Operating Plans - capturing learnings, understandings, and pattern review action items for ensuring waterflood management and progression of learning using previous experience.

Use and perform modeling updates and incorporation of key observations and define what the implication is for depletion and performance management using recent surveillance

Be able to integrate information from Resource Progression, Production Delivery, Area Development Planning Teams and other disciplines

Maintain strong networking links to maintain capabilities with the latest software applications, processes and key developments.

Assist with surveillance planning that will help verify current waterflooding performance and link to future optimization of producers and injectors for increased rate and reserves

Essential education

University degree in Petroleum Engineering or equivalent program (Mechanical/Chemical/ Civil Eng)

In this role, we have the following requirements:

• Strong background of reservoir engineering experience on waterflooded fields, with emphasis on reservoir management, field development planning and integration of surveillance data

• Experience of using classical methods and reservoir simulation to evaluate and optimize waterflood performance and predict new well performance.

• Able to communicate with a range of other subsurface teams to integrate diverse data for reservoir understanding.

• Able to manage multiple activities and quickly respond to changing business priorities.

• Good English language proficiency, both written and spoken

• Proven interpersonal skills, with the ability to work in multi-cultural, multidiscipline environment.

Desirable Criteria:

• Experience of using reservoir simulation to propose, evaluate and optimize development options.

• Experience in development and construction of simulation models and history matching
