site engineer jobs - Basra Iraq

<p>Job Responsibilities</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>1. Reservoir Performance Analysis and Monitoring</p><p>• Monitor the production performance of oil wells and reservoirs; prepare periodic reservoir performance analysis reports.</p><p>• Analyze the effectiveness of water injection; optimize water injection schemes, adjust zonal injection structures, and maintain injection-production balance.</p><p>• Evaluate the production capacity of individual wells; identify low-producing, water-producing, or anomalous wells in a timely manner and provide evidence-based recommendations for well interventions or workovers.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>2. Numerical Simulation and Development Planning</p><p>• Build and maintain geological and numerical reservoir simulation models (using software such as Eclipse, tNavigator, or Petrel).</p><p>• Conduct history matching and forecast production trends under various development strategies.</p><p>• Prepare Oilfield Development Plans (ODP), design supplementary development adjustments, and draft proposals for new well construction.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>3. Testing and Data Acquisition Design</p><p>• Design and review programs for well testing, trial production, pressure monitoring (PBU/RFT/MDT), and fluid property (PVT) analysis.</p><p>• Interpret and evaluate well test data to derive key parameters such as formation pressure, permeability, and skin factor.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>4. Reserves and Asset Management</p><p>• Evaluate, calculate, and report remaining oilfield reserves in accordance with international standards (e.g., SPE-PRMS).</p><p>• Conduct in-depth research on the distribution of remaining oil to identify potential recovery opportunities within the field, including both peripheral and internal areas.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>5. Cross-functional Collaboration and Communication</p><p>• Collaborate closely with geology, drilling, production/completion, and surface facilities teams to ensure the successful implementation of development plans.</p><p>• Present technical proposals for review and approval.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Qualifications</p><p>1. Education and Work Experience</p><p>• Bachelor’s degree or higher in Petroleum Engineering, Oil and Gas Field Development Engineering, or a related discipline.</p><p>• At least 8 years of experience in reservoir engineering within an oil company or oilfield service company (experience with carbonate, heavy oil, or low-permeability reservoirs is preferred). • Prior work experience on projects in the Middle East, or familiarity with oil fields in Iraq (such as Rumaila, West Qurna, Halfaya, Majnoon, etc.), is preferred.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>2. Professional Skills</p><p>• Proficient in core reservoir engineering software, including Eclipse, tNavigator, Petrel RE, Kappa (Saphir/Topaze), Prosper/GAP, OFM, etc.</p><p>• Possess a solid foundation in material balance, production decline analysis, and well test interpretation.</p><p>• Familiar with international reserve evaluation standards (PRMS).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>3. Language and Soft Skills</p><p>• Capable of using English as a working language, with the ability to fluently draft technical reports and deliver oral presentations in English (proficiency in Arabic is an advantage).</p><p>• Strong cross-cultural communication skills, resilience under pressure, and a collaborative team spirit.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>4. Adaptability to Work Environment</p><p>• Able to adapt to a rotational work schedule at field sites in Iraq.</p><p>• In good physical health and capable of adapting to the hot climate of the Middle East and the specific security/camp environment.</p>
