Lead - Subsurface & Risk Analysis

Job Purpose

• Lead & prepare subsurface technical evaluations as part of due diligence of new acquisitions & business growth opportunities ensuring accurate assessment of reserves, development potential & feasibility, production potential, incurring costs of related development activities.
• Coordinate with other disciplines, cross functional teams ( G&G , petrophysics, engineering, drilling … Etc) & other outsources to integrate all inputs for the final evaluation of new acquisitions.
• Support & integrate with 3rd Party experts and consultants providing necessary information & participate in clarification rounds.
• Review Competent Person’s Reports (CPR) of potential producing assets acquisitions and benchmark historical field performance.
• Perform technical risk and uncertainty analysis covering subsurface, operational, regulatory , market development, and incorporate into a detailed risk register.
• Provide subsurface inputs for business growth plan & budgeting process

Job Responsibilities

• Validate data rooms and ensure quality, completeness, and consistency of all technical datasets & identify information gaps and uncertainties.
• Lead Petrophysical evaluation for existing wells & Benchmarking petrophysical interpretations against available studies or CPR documents.
• Conduct in-depth reservoir engineering & petroleum engineering evaluations implementing robust analytical engineering approaches.
• Critically review Competent Person’s Reports (CPR) and reconcile with observed data, document variances and value impact.
• Benchmark historical field performance, base declines, new wells & work overs and establish chance of success and trends for future activities.
• Define phased development plans based on exploration, appraisal data and analog performance, balancing early production with reservoir understanding.
• Review historical operational aspects including drilling, workovers, asset integrity and well services to reflect the learnings on the future projection of production and cost.
• Maintain a risk register covering subsurface, drilling, facilities, operational, regulatory, market & quantify uncertainties.
• Support 3rd party due diligence process providing all necessary technical data, documentation, and clarifications to enable accurate and timely independent assessments.
• Prepare an integrated technical package for the target asset covering reservoir , petroleum engineering, surface facilities , Asset integrity aspects & identify key technical risks,.
• Participate with subsurface insights in preparation of business growth future plan and budget.
