Job Overview
This is an excellent opportunity to become an integral part of our Petroleum Engineering team in Norwich. You will be in charge of reviewing wells and fields in order to maximize production from matured assets. It is expected that you propose well interventions and workover projects, then evaluate their feasibility and rank them based on their risk and rewards. This role will provide exposure to various surface and sub-surface challenges associated with managing production from gas reservoirs.

4. Preparation of data acquisition programs (pressure surveys, cased hole logging).
5. Good knowledge of the main PE software packages is a must: Petex suite (GAP, MBAL, PROSPER) or PIPESIM.
6. Knowledge of Pressure-Transient analysis is preferred: PBU interpretations, use of KAPPA software.
7. Knowledge of cased-hole logging is preferred: PLT interpretation, resistivity behind casing to define WSO or additional perforations.
8. Support to Reservoir Engineers for Field Development Studies.
9. Some knowledge in reservoir engineering, drilling, and petroleum economics through past experience with multidiscipline projects is preferred. Good communication with various departments is essential.
10. Challenge existing designs and well operational processes to propose optimizations in terms of technology and practice.
11. When necessary, visit the offshore platforms to attend drilling/WO/well interventions or any other optimization jobs.
