Job Summary

ConocoPhillips operates the Greater Ekofisk Area (GEA), comprising 5 separate producing fields: Ekofisk, Eldfisk, Tommeliten A, Tor and Embla, with total production of approximately 160 thousand BOE gross per day. In addition, ConocoPhillips is an active partner in 8 joint ventures operated by others: Grane, Breidablikk, Troll, Visund, Oseberg, Heidrun, Aasta Hansteen and Alvheim


Due to steady development and production maintenance activity in the Greater Ekofisk Area, we are seeking a motivated reservoir engineer to help further develop and maximize the long-term value of the assets.

The general purpose of the GEA reservoir engineer is to contribute towards actions that ensure optimum economic reservoir extraction from the GEA assets. Due to the size and complexity of the assets, reservoir engineering tasks are typically divided between several engineers with varying technical focus. Reservoir engineers rotate between positions depending on needs, skillsets, and career aspirations. Typical reservoir engineering tasks include well performance and regional waterflood analysis, construction and use of reservoir models, inputs to drilling programs, well planning and production forecasting.

GEA and Partner-Operated Assets offer excellent opportunities for long term functional and cross-functional development through close interaction across all subsurface disciplines.

Job Description

Reservoir engineering duties:

• Participate in cross functional reservoir performance reviews with view of improving existing developments.
• Evaluation of potential drilling targets
• Participate in planning of new drilling targets.
• Manage and maintain tools for reservoir performance monitoring and well surveillance.
• Perform production forecasting and reserves estimates.
• Provide input and justification for data acquisition needs field wide.
• Plan and execute yearly reservoir model improvement activities by integrating all available data and performance analysis into coherent understanding of waterflood dynamic behavior and implement in models.
• Drive new technology development activities within reservoir modelling and uncertainty evaluation.
• Keep co-venturers abreast of work products and ongoing activities and plans through Production License meetings.
• Perform ad-hoc reservoir engineering studies linked to optimization of field development.

 

Required competency:

• Higher technical education at BSc level in Petroleum Engineering, alternatively other Engineering discipline or Physics with relevant experience in reservoir engineering.
• Good understanding of fundamentals of reservoir engineering.
• Experience in numerical reservoir simulation.
• Experience in secondary recovery processes.
• Intellectual curiosity and high level of initiative and self-motivation
• Effective communication skills (verbal and writing).

 

Preferred competency:

• Higher technical education at MSc level
• Proficiency with SLB software (Petrel RE, IX)
• Experience with fractured reservoirs, specifically with chalk reservoirs.
• Experience performing simulation studies & history matching.
• Subsurface, drilling and/or stakeholder experience.
• Overall understanding of field operations processes including drilling, production, maintenance, subsurface & projects.
• Ability to compile and prepare large datasets for analysis through software (Spotfire/Microsoft Power BI or others) or by a programming language (Python/C++/R or other).
• Minimum 3 years of relevant experience.

 

Leadership Competencies: 

• Respective of SPIRIT values.
• Takes accountability.
• Communicates effectively.
