Senior Petroleum Engineer

Role Purpose The Senior Petroleum Engineer provides high-level petroleum engineering support for reservoir management, production optimization, reserves maturation, well opportunity generation and field development to maximize hydrocarbon recovery and long-term asset value. Core Competencies Reservoir engineering and simulation Production forecasting and optimization Reservoir surveillance Reserves and resources evaluation Well opportunity maturation Field development planning Uncertainty and risk analysis Petroleum economics awareness Technical assurance Multidisciplinary collaboration Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) Production forecast accuracy Quality and timeliness of reservoir studies Maturation of value-adding well opportunities Reserves/resource technical support quality Reservoir surveillance effectiveness Production optimization value delivered Technical assurance and documentation compliance Key Responsibilities Perform integrated reservoir and production engineering studies to support field development and reservoir management decisions. Develop and update production forecasts, depletion plans and reservoir surveillance programmes. Evaluate reservoir and well performance using pressure, production, PVT and other subsurface data. Identify and mature infill drilling, workover, intervention and production optimization opportunities. Support static/dynamic model integration, history matching. forecasting and uncertainty evaluation. Contribute to reserves and resources estimation, classification, maturation and reporting Provide petroleum engineering input to Field Development Plans, annual work programmes, budgets and investment proposals. Work closely with Geology, Geophysics, Petrophysics, Wells, Production and Facilities teams to optimize development decisions. Participate in well planning well performance reviews, technical assurance and post-well evaluations. Coach less-experienced engineers and promote strong technical standards, documentation and knowledge sharing. Qualifications & Experience Bachelor's Degree in Petroleum Engineering or a closely related engineering discipline. Relevant Master's Degree is an added advantage. Minimum 10-12 years' relevant upstream E&P petroleum/reservoir engineering experience. Relevant professional engineering membership or certification is desirable.
