Petroleum Engineer

I am looking for a challenging opportunity as reservoir/petroleum engineer and I am willing to relocate to any location with and company that offers opportunities leading to career growth and technological exposure

June 2003 to Date: Reservoir/petroleum Engineer, in Service Reservoir of
Sonatrach oil Company, Hassi Messaoud Oil Field, Algeria.

Duties:
• Reservoir performance monitoring and analysis
• Reservoir and production management
• Reserves evaluation by analysing after drilling data to determine if wells contain significant quantities of hydrocarbons that can be recovered economically
• Decline Curve Analysis
• Production Forecasting
• Monitoring of EOR (Water & Gas injection) projects performance to ensure Production/Injection equilibrium and optimisation to maximise the recovery
• Well Testing of Horizontal, Vertical, and Hydraulically Fractured Wells
• Improving production strategies to maintain the field production target

• Monitoring and studying relevant well production/injection data to identify, investigate and recommend practical measures to maximize production/injection efficiency and assist in planning remedial well activity as required

• Total System Analysis And Production Optimization Using Nodal Analysis
Inflow Performance Relationship for Oil and Gas Wells
Selecting Tubing Size and Flow line Size
Sizing of Surface Choke and Subsurface Safety Valve
Artificial Lift design and optimisation
Evaluating Completion and Stimulation effects
Evaluating Injection Wells
Predicting the effect of Depletion on Producing Capacity

• Application of Material Balance Techniques to oil and gas reservoirs in order to
Estimate the Initial Oil and Gas In Place and Recoverable Reserves
Estimate Water Influx as a Function of Time and Average Reservoir Pressure
Estimate Future Oil and Gas Production as a Function of Time and Average Reservoir Pressure

• Application of Reservoir Simulation Software (Such as ECLIPSE) to analyze and to predict the performance of Individual Wells, the Reservoir, and the Field for various Depletion, Injection, Stimulation, and Artificial Lift Schemes
• Design of Water and Gas Injection Projects using both Analytical and Reservoir Simulation Techniques
• Detail analysis of Individual Well Performance before and after a Stimulation Job
• Interacting with other departments (drilling, geology, operations, and facilities) for professional exchange of views, review and find solutions to production/injection problems
