Subsurface Group
Job Description:
bp has a long history of oil exploration and production in Iraq. The Rumaila oilfield is Iraq’s largest producing field and the third largest oil field in the world. It is currently operated by ROO (Rumaila Operating Organization). Rumaila, Iraq’s greatest natural asset, is undergoing significant transformation to maximize production for the long-term future.
This is an opportunity for a motivated individual to join the agile, fast-paced and exciting integrated P&O subsurface squad that provides support to the in-country teams with Production Management, Depletion Management, and Area Development Planning. The subsurface squad forms part of the Rumaila Support Team (RST).
The successful candidate will lead core activities within an integrated group of subsurface practitioners and constantly collaborate with other departments and external partners to define and progress the implementation of the short- and long-term plans.
What you will deliver:
1. Lead reservoir engineering activities to define and advance reservoir depletion plans, including waterflood management, infill drilling campaigns, new well delivery operations, surveillance planning and execution, wellwork planning and execution, and subsurface integration of outcomes.
2. Conduct reservoir studies to evaluate depletion optimization initiatives and make recommendations to maximize both near-term and long-term oil recovery.
3. Deliver the short-term business production forecast in collaboration with the Area Development Plan Lead, ensuring consistency and robustness, and respond to changes in reservoir performance, investment, wells, or project delivery schedules.
4. Provide reservoir engineering input to the Rumaila Risk Management Plan and optimize area development activities to protect and maximize value for the government and the IJV.
5. Collaborate with the Area Development Manager to evaluate threats and opportunities to the plan.
6. Support the delivery of the long-term integrated production forecast for the field, annual reserves estimation, and related statutory and business reporting requirements.
7. Proactively develop and maintain reservoir performance and management tools.
8. Support the technical development of less experienced engineers in both Sunbury and Iraq, providing coaching in areas of expertise.
9. Present reservoir engineering workfronts and findings to internal and external stakeholders.
What you will need to be successful:
In addition to having a BSc / MSc degree in Petroleum or Reservoir Engineering (or related applied science engineering subject area), it will be important to also have:
1. Several years of relevant technical reservoir engineering experience, including coaching.
2. Proficiency in at least three of the following areas: business forecasting, well and area performance management, depletion planning and reservoir management, waterflood management, surveillance planning and analysis, and subsurface integration.
3. Hands-on experience with analytical and numerical reservoir engineering methods such as decline curve analysis, pressure transient analysis, material balance, reservoir simulation, and tools like Saphir, PETEX IPM, Nexus, and ValNav.
4. A developing level of data science and analytics skills is required, including proficiency in Spotfire, PBIx, and Python.
5. Strong communication and influencing skills.
6. Ability to manage multiple activities and quickly respond to changing business priorities.
7. Capability to handle short-term deadlines and flexible prioritization.
8. Skills in stakeholder management.
It would be beneficial if you can also demonstrate:
1. Experience in Project Management.
2. Working experience with carbonate oilfield management.
3. Experience in Agile working environments.
4. Experience working in non-operated business environments.
