• Develop and lead utilization of analytical models and tools to determine and optimize underground storage assets.
• Conduct and supervise reservoir and individual well analysis of storage assets to predict, monitor, and manage reservoir performance.
• Perform, review, and supervise reservoir studies to track reservoir performance as compared to predicted performance - develop optimal schedules and forecasts of individual reservoir deliverability.
Responsibilities • Substantial proficiency in well design and work over activities.
• Work closely with field staff and other engineering disciplines to identify and carry out remedial opportunities on wells and associated facilities.
• Identify work over/recompletion, stimulation, and integrity investigation candidates.
• Prepare/Review detailed procedures and AFE cost estimates for rig work over, routine well work, and logging activities.
• Supervise well work over field activities.
