Reservoir Engineer

Eni

Your employment contract will be managed by Eni International Resources Ltd (EIRL). 
Main responsibilities:

• Define reservoir properties based on analysis of available geoscience, pressure, and production data. Determine the need for additional data acquisition and manage the data acquisition process.
• Monitor daily production data, pressures, temperatures, and well operating parameters across the field.
• Perform well and reservoir surveillance through analysis of PI trends, water cut evolution, and pressure behaviour.
• Identify abnormal trends, underperforming wells, sand production, and water breakthroughs, and provide early warnings to operations teams.
• Monitor and optimise water injection performance, including tracking injection rates, pressures, voidage replacement ratio (VRR), and waterflood sweep efficiency. Recommend adjustments to ensure balanced reservoir support and mitigate breakthrough risks.
• Maintain and update field monitoring dashboards and surveillance systems (e.g., PI systems, real-time data platforms).
• Recommend development plans, such as well placements, workovers, and EOR/IOR strategies.
• Collaborate with geologists, petrophysicists, and drilling engineers to design optimal field development plans.
• Monitor field performance and identify opportunities to enhance production.
• Present technical findings and recommendations to management and multidisciplinary teams.
• Ensure data quality and maintain reservoir engineering databases and models.
• Support production optimisation by recommending choke adjustments, artificial lift tuning, and remedial actions.
• Collaborate with production engineers and operations to troubleshoot performance issues.
• Validate data quality, ensure integrity of field measurements, and coordinate with instrumentation teams when needed.
• Prepare daily, weekly, and monthly performance reports for internal stakeholders.
• Contribute to reservoir management plans and long-term monitoring strategies.
• Participate in technical reviews or collaborative studies on reservoir management and related topics.

Skills and experience required:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Petroleum Engineering, Reservoir Engineering, or a related discipline.
• Relevant experience as a Reservoir Engineer; experience with unconventional reservoirs or EOR/IOR projects is preferred.
• Good written and spoken English.
• Strong understanding of reservoir physics, fluid flow, and petroleum geology.
• Proficiency in industry software (e.g., Eclipse, Petrel, CMG, OFM, Ecrin, PVTsim, Excel).
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
• Ability to work effectively within multidisciplinary teams.
• Knowledge of programming tools (Python, MATLAB) for data analysis and automation (desirable).
• Exposure to machine learning applications in reservoir engineering (desirable).
• Strong teamwork and collaboration skills.
• Attention to detail and technical accuracy.
• Ability to work under pressure and manage multiple tasks.
• Strong presentation and report-writing skills.
