Expectations and Responsibilities

• Guide Quantum Technology and Analytics team at QRI, with a focus on developing and implementing solutions for reservoir diagnostics, data mining and fast analytical models.
• Determine causes of fluid breakthrough in wells.  Evaluate drawdowns and rates to control the near-wellbore effects of coning or channeling.
• Apply principles of reservoir engineering including well test analysis, petrophysical log analysis, SCAL, PVT, decline curve analysis and material balance to oversee development plans, reserves analysis (deterministic/probabilistic depending on customer needs) and economic evaluation.
• Develop optimal offsets for well perforated intervals to natural fluid contacts, such as water-oil contacts and gas-oil contacts to limit coning and channeling.
• Create a depletion plan with strict guidelines regarding the rate of fluid movement in the reservoir.
• Develop offset of well perforated intervals to natural fluid contacts, such as WOC and GOC to limit coning and channeling.
• Evaluate various completion technologies to restrict fluid entry and improve wellbore isolation (e.g., external packers and equalizers).
• Develop an oil column thickness map that is unperturbed by near-well effects.
• Provide a volumetric estimate of bypassed oil and infer sweep efficiency.
• Determine the best placement for new wells and workovers in reservoirs.
• Create a depletion plan with strict guidelines regarding the rate of fluid movement in the reservoir.
• Develop candidates for testing wells and establish testing criteria.
• Create protocols for cyclic well production regarding optimum rate, shut-in period and completion configuration.
• Provide a detailed design of drilling and completion of a wells
• Provide plans to reduce the time and cost of well intervention
• Utilize common Industry software such as Gocad, Petrel, Eclipse, VIP and Frontsim for reservoir modeling and simulation.
