• Deliver the information need to make safer, optimal, long-term production decisions for each reservoir
• Technical support for Reservoir Formation and Testing Services where analysis of data requires having a broad knowledge of the product line’s tools and/or services.
• Advise on service companies choice and contract negotiation.
• Support Integrated subsurface team in developing logging and other analysis programs to meet formation evaluation needs Work with static modeller, Petrophysicist and Drilling Engineers & QC of model building and uncertainty modelling to ensure consistent models that are fit for purpose for Well re-entry plans, well intervention plans and field development planning. Liaison with G&G to ensure proper links between static and dynamic work
• Support the subsurface team for the maturation of exploration, appraisal and development targets in shallow marine offshore Nigeria
• Input to field data gathering and reservoir monitoring program (WRM, WRFM etc).
• Present results internally to management and externally to partners (government and other third parties). Liaise with partners to resolve technical issues.
• Help build and maintain accurate and comprehensive databases of data gathered in conjunction with geoscience team members.
• Ensure all work is carried out to appropriate standards and in accordance with international best practice and internal processes
• Contribute to geological training and mentoring of junior staff and secondees

Key Accountabilities

• Generate Dynamic modelling using state of the art technology and proffer Short and long term production forecasts based both on DCA and dynamic modelling
