Description
You will work with Your line manager will be the Manager Technology Development India You will work in Pune, India in squads as part of the Rapid Technology Deployment Unit, with team members from both Houston, USA and Sunbury, London. You may also be remotely deployed into an international, integrated subsurface delivery squads where day-to-day activities and work will be prioritised by the squad leader in service of technology deployment. Squads typically consist of 5-10 multi-disciplinary technical members in several locations and are deployed based on global subsurface business prioritisation. You will also work in close collaboration with subsurface teams in the country your squad supports, as well as with bp s global subsurface technical specialists and domain experts. Let me tell you about the role BP Technical Solutions India (TSI) centre in Pune, aims 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. The OGT - Subsurface Wells Technology team delivers high-quality, high impact and innovative subsurface solutions to address prioritised business challenges across bp s oil, gas, and low carbon businesses. As a Senior Reservoir engineer in SSW Technology, you will be responsible for utilising broad reservoir engineering experience, coupled with deep data science skills, such as python, machine learning, high performance computing (HPC), AI, analytics, to support the transformation of subsurface ways of working. You will lead and participate in projects, directly unlocking significant value to bp s businesses. You will have the opportunity to work across bp s global portfolio on projects as diverse as early field development offshore West Africa, large-scale waterflood developments in the Caspian Sea and Middle East and global screening and development of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) fields. You will partner with the regions and central teams to rapidly find innovative solutions to deliver work in a fraction of the time. As a senior reservoir engineer, you will also coach and mentor the broader team in reservoir engineering techniques, code development and the process of technology development. . What you will deliver Work closely with the regions across the globe, utilising broad classical and simulation reservoir engineering methods coupled with data science to develop innovative solutions to complex subsurface challenges: Develop and deploy python code to speed up subsurface workflows or improve predictability through broadening the understanding of uncertainty characterisation Automate and parallelise subsurface workflows making use of bp s High Performance Computing centre Provide sound Reservoir Engineering technical analysis and judgement in solution development Provide technical support, coaching and guidance of deployed technology solutions Apply reservoir engineering concepts to integrate across subsurface disciplines such as geoscience and well delivery. Coach, mentor and guide members of SSW Technology and the broader bp team in aspects of data science, reservoir engineering and innovation What you will need to be successful (experience and qualifications) Must have educational qualifications: Bsc / Msc degree in Petroleum/ Reservoir Engineering, related applied science engineering or mathematics Must have experiences/skills (To be hired with): Have a solid understanding of reservoir analysis fundamentals such as pressure transient analysis, reservoir simulation, decline curve analysis and material balance. Good industry track record as Reservoir Engineer with relevant experience in Reservoir Management, Reservoir Simulation, Reservoir Performance, and Analytical Reservoir Engineering workflows. Experience creating innovative technology solutions to complex subsurface challenges Working knowledge of data science techniques such as machine learning, AI and uncertainty management Track record in script/software creation with python and associated development tools such as version control Experience with classical RE toolkits (e.g. PETEX IPM, Kappa (Saphir)) Experience with common Reservoir Simulation tools (e.g. Eclipse, Nexus, Intersect) Skilful communication and influencing skills, with track record of sharing findings Able to manage multiple activities and quickly respond to changing business priorities Able to cope with short-term deadlines and flexible prioritization acting as a squad member as required Minimum years of relevant experience: 13+ years experience as Reservoir Engineer, with experience in classical reservoir engineering and reservoir simulation Good to have experiences/skills (Can be trained for - learning/on-the-job): Waterflood management and/or gas reservoir management experience Coding on jupyter notebooks and interactions with high performance compute clusters
