About bp

bp Technical Solutions India (TSI) center in Pune, strives to build on bp’s existing engineering and technical strengths to deliver high quality services to its hydrocarbons and new energy businesses worldwide. TSI brings together diverse engineering capability to provide technical services across a range of areas including engineering, maintenance, optimization, data processes, projects and subsurface, to deliver safe, affordable and lower emission energy, while continuously innovating how we work.

At bp, we’re reimagining energy for people and our planet. We’re leading the way in reducing carbon emissions and developing more balanced methods for solving the energy challenge. We’re a team with multi-layered strengths of engineers, scientists, traders and business professionals determined to find answers to problems.

About the Role

Global Subsurface Solutions (GSS) delivers high-quality, high impact, subsurface technical products to address prioritised business challenges across bp Production and Operation (P&O)

As a senior Reservoir engineer in the Reservoir Performance and Prediction /modelling unit, you will have the opportunity to work across BP global portfolio on projects as diverse as early field development offshore West Africa, large-scale waterflood developments in the Caspian Sea and Middle East.

You will be responsible for supporting reservoir engineers within Global Subsurface Solutions unit build and use simulation models which, in turn, support region decisions on major projects, infill wells, reservoir management and production forecasting.

Responsibilities

Work closely with the Global modelling team, utilising broad reservoir experience and classical reservoir engineering methods to analyse and integrate wells and reservoir data into the team’s current understanding.

• Lead reservoir simulation Engineers in building, updating reservoir models and coaching others to use reservoir simulation models and ensembles in collaboration with geoscientists, geomodellers and petrophysicists.

  
  

• Understand and keep the business context and geological realities in mind throughout the modelling process.

  
  

• Understand region needs and translate those needs into building the most appropriate tools.

  
  

• Analyze field data to establish trends, recognize deviations, and identify data quality issues.

  
  

• lead model framing and fitness sessions as well as assist in technical validation of simulation models.

  
  

• Support review and assessment of readiness of Integrated Subsurface Descriptions and Reservoir Performance Prediction (ISD/RPP) inputs at the start of a modelling effort.

  
  

Must have educational qualifications:

Bsc / Msc degree in Petroleum/ Reservoir Engineering or related applied science engineering
 

Must have experiences/skills:

• Skillful reservoir simulation competency level, including deep knowledge of the inputs, outputs, benefits and limitations of reservoir simulation software.

  
  

• Reservoir simulation, uncertainty quantification and analysis, well and area performance management, depletion planning and reservoir management.

  
  

• Appreciation of how a decision can be informed by simulation modelling.

  
  

• Experience with RE toolkits (e.g. PETEX IPM, Kappa Ecrin (Saphir) Nexus, Eclipse, other simulation software).

  
  

• Ability to communicate effectively (written and oral) to multiple layers in the organization, with track record of sharing learnings.

  
  

• Skillful communication and influencing skills, with track record of sharing learnings.

• Able to cope with short-term deadlines and flexible prioritization acting as a squad member as required

  
  

 Minimum years of relevant experience:

• Min 15 years working experience as Reservoir Engineer, with extensive experience in reservoir simulation  

  
  

Good to have experiences/skills:

• Awareness level in geology and petrophysics

  
  

• Waterflood management and/or gas reservoir management experience

  
  

• Experience of using simulation models to support decisions.

  
  

You will work with
