Role Overview
Advisor, Reservoir Geology (Geomodeling) at ADNOC, a leading diversified energy group wholly owned by the Abu Dhabi Government, based in Abu Dhabi.
Company Overview
Founded in 1971, ADNOC is a leading diversified energy group, wholly owned by the Abu Dhabi Government. The network of fully integrated businesses operates across the energy value chain. ADNOC is already in the top tier of the lowest carbon intensity oil and gas producers in the world and is taking significant steps to make today's energy cleaner while investing in clean energies of tomorrow. The company is allocating an initial $23 billion to advance and accelerate lower-carbon solutions, investing in new energies and decarbonization technologies to enable its net zero by 2045 ambition and commitment to zero methane emissions by 2030.
Role Purpose
Develop and manage comprehensive subsurface geological and geomodels to support exploration, appraisal, and development activities. Integrate multi-disciplinary geoscience data to create reliable static and dynamic reservoir models that guide well placement, reserve estimation, and field extension strategies.
Key Responsibilities
Data Collection & Study Design
- Identify and define data collection parameters in conjunction with other disciplines to provide the basis of analysis, modelling, and field extensions.
- Design and plan complex studies to identify new prospects and their hydrocarbon systems, develop new play concepts, and create qualified models of the subsurface.
Model Development & Validation
- Integrate all available local and regional geoscience and reservoir engineering data and carry out reservoir geo-modelling studies using the Petrel modelling tool.
- Develop geomodels to incorporate interpretation of structure, depositional environments, facies, and diagenesis to produce a representative, reliable static model of the reservoir.
- Generate subsurface geological models to aid reservoir description including size, shape, continuity and quality.
- Appraise models of the subsurface to ensure accuracy and technical integrity.
Uncertainty & Simulation Support
- Design and complete uncertainty analyses and provide sensitivities for integration into volumetric and reservoir simulation work.
- Interactively provide the reservoir engineering team with up-scaled reservoir grids (surfaces, faults, properties, etc.) for integration into dynamic simulation models.
Well Planning & Operations
- Assist geological operations and drilling teams with well planning and execution support using Petrel trajectory/tracking analysis.
- Evaluate well results using Petrel and/or modeling software.
- Support real time quality control of drilling data including LWD and wireline data.
- Recommend drilling locations in collaboration with the team's reservoir engineers.
Development & Appraisal Planning
- Review and evaluate programs and plans to ensure technical integrity and cost-effectiveness, including drilling, logging, coring, and well testing programs for development and appraisal wells.
- Participate and review proposals for appraisal wells to assess reserves of prospective reservoirs and extensions of producing or developing reservoirs within assigned fields.
- Update the reservoir model frequently with the results of drilling activities to optimize well placement for all appraisal and development wells.
Development Planning Support
- Generate subsurface geological models to support development planning, reservoir production and well performance predictions.
Qualifications & Experience
- Bachelor's degree in Sciences (Geology or Geophysics).
- 15 or more years of experience in all aspects of exploration geology, including play evaluation, prospect ranking, and maturation.
- 15 or more years of experience in development geology including geological modelling, well designing, volumetric estimation, and reservoir rock-typing methods.
- Carbonate reservoir experience with regional background.
Skills & Competencies
- Demonstrated high-end user skills of Petrel and/or geomodelling software.
- Thorough understanding of all aspects of geology: structural, stratigraphic, sedimentology, and geostatistics.
- Thorough understanding of geophysics.
- Thorough understanding of petrophysics.
- Thorough understanding of reservoir simulation.
