ACCOUNTABILITIES

1. Identification, planning and close follow-up the reservoir surveillance plans for Shuaiba and Nahr
Umr reservoirs (160+ producers and injectors)
2. Identification and execution follow-up of reservoir management activities to maximize
production, voidage replacement, and reduce the production decline rates
3. Perform simulation and special studies related to well performance improvement initiatives
4. Opportunities identification and maturation to FID (RD Workovers, Tubing Change-outs,
Integrity WO, Stimulation...) for production and injection improvements in collaboration with Field
Operations, Drilling & Wells, and New Well Delivery
5. Timely generation of monthly unconstrained profiles for short term production forecast (Rolling
Forecast)
6. Perform new wells and work-overs post-mortem synthesis in collaboration with New Well
Delivery, and Reservoir Development & Growth teams
7. Propose innovative solutions to improve the voidage replacement and increase wells potential
8. Perform detailed Wells & Well Patterns reviews, and identify remedial actions
9. Support the Integrated Reservoir Management team within RMO unit on the cross reservoirs’
activities and studies
10. Support FO/PWP for day-to-day and short-term production / injection optimization
11. Perform simulation and models history match and share learnings with Development and
Growth teams
12. Support Profiles and Reserves team by providing data for Integrated Asset Modelling
13. Support IRM team for NFA unconstrained profiles aggregation and analysis
14. Support team lead in budget definition and follow-up throughout the year
15. Provide support and coaching to reservoir engineers in the team.
