## Description

JOB PURPOSE: Update / Generate black oil and compositional simulation models with field development planning, short, and long-term profiles. Conduct model sensitivities and prioritize development schemes applying best practices, Uncertainty & Risk assessment and economics. Undertakes reservoir simulation studies to attain stated objectives and translate results into operational guidelines. KEY ACCOUNTABILITIES: Job Specific Accountabilities \uF0B7 Coordinates and works with Geoscientists on reservoir characterization and upscaling. \uF0B7 Builds sizable Full Field simulation models, history match and use them in predictions. \uF0B7 Conducts quality check and consistency of simulation model, history match scenarios with respect to geological model characteristics. \uF0B7 Develops characterization of reservoir fluids and Equation of State (EOS) modelling, calibration and Convert simple black oil models to compositional. Diagnoses model convergence and run-time problems. \uF0B7 Coordinates with Technical centre in designing IOR/EOR methods (WI, Immiscible GI, Miscible GI, and Surfactant and polymer injection) to enhance recovery and pressure maintenance methods. \uF0B7 Applies different methods of reserves estimation using probabilistic and deterministic methods (Mbal, DCA and simulation models sensitivities). \uF0B7 Identifies required action using simulation models for maximize recovery/meet current production quotas, design, follow up, QC and analyse reservoir studies e.g. RCA, SCAL and PVT. \uF0B7 Conducts special simulation studies for Field Development optimization (well pacing, infill wells, advanced wells, Pilots) \uF0B7 Applies multiphase flow in the reservoir, effective permeability concept and correlations for relative permeability. Integrate pressure and production test results for reservoir simulation and management decisions.

\uF0B7 Contributes to reservoir monitoring program and data gathering with effective cost program to enable collecting necessary data to help best reservoir management and reduce uncertainties. \uF0B7 Liaises with contractors conducting the study, analyses and reviews findings and actions study recommendations. Participate in periodic update and validation of database with monthly production/injection data and descriptions to display wells, reservoir and field performance for appropriate distribution and Simulation model recalibration. Generic Accountabilities Supervision \uF0B7 Plan, supervise and coordinate all activities in the assigned area to meet functional objectives. \uF0B7 Train and develop the assigned staff on relevant skills to enable them to become proficient on the job and deliver the respective section objectives. Budgets \uF0B7 Provide input for preparation of the Department / Section budgets, assist in the implementation of the approved Budget, and work plans to deliver Section objectives. \uF0B7 Investigate and highlight any significant variances to support effective performance and cost control. Policies, Systems, Processes & Procedures \uF0B7 Implement approved Department / Section policies, processes, systems, standards and procedures in order to support execution of the Department / Section\u2019s work programs in line with Company and International standards. \uF0B7 Comply with all applicable legislation and legal regulations. Performance Management \uF0B7 Contribute to the achievement of the approved Performance Objectives for the Department / Section in line with the Company Performance framework. Innovation and Continuous Improvement \uF0B7 Design and implement new tools and techniques to improve the quality and efficiency of operational processes. \uF0B7 Identify improvements in internal processes against best practices in pursuit of greater efficiency in line with ISO standards in order to define intelligent solutions for issues confronting the function. Health, Safety, Environment (HSE) and Sustainability \uF0B7 Comply with the ADNOC Onshore/ ADNOC HSE procedure requirements \uF0B7 Report all incident and occupational illness to line supervisor. \uF0B7 If aware of any unsafe practice or condition, or if in any doubt about the safety of any situation, immediately consult their Line supervisor. \uF0B7 Carryout the emergency responsibilities in line with the respective roles as per the emergency organization \uF0B7 Be familiar with the ADNOC HSE Recognition and Accountability Framework requirements. Comply with all applicable HSE requirements at all times. Exercise the STOP Work Authority bestowed if any unsafe act or situation puts you or your colleagues at risk Reports \uF0B7 Provide inputs to prepare Section MIS and progress reports for Company Management.
