Head, Petrophysical Studies

**Company** Qatar Energy is an integrated national oil corporation that stands at theforefront of efforts for the long term sustainable development,utilization and monetization of oil and gas resources in the State of Qatar.In its efforts to become one of the best national energy companies inthe world, Qatar Energy's activities and those of its subsidiaries andjoint ventures, encompass the entire spectrum of the oil and gas valuechain locally, regionally, and internationally.They include the exploration, refining and production, marketing, andsale of oil and gas, liquefied natural gas (LNG), natural gas liquids(NGL), gas to liquids (GTL) products, refined products, petrochemicals,fertilizers, steel and aluminum. As an integrated corporation,Qatar Energy's activities also include marketing and sale of oil and gasand other various products.Qatar Energy's operations and activities are conducted at various onshorelocations, including Doha, Dukhan and the Mesaieed and Ras Laffan Industrial Cities; and at various offshore areas, such as offshore oilfields production stations, drilling platforms, Halul oil export island,and the North Field, which is the largest single non-associated gasreservoir in the world covering an area of 6,000 square kilometers. Theutilization of this field’s massive reserves has become a primarynational goal to continue the development and prosperity of the country.Qatar Energy pays the utmost attention to the health and safety of itsemployees, contractors, visitors and the local communities where itoperates. From drilling to construction, operations to decommissioning,Qatar Energy's health, safety and environment policy forms an integralpart of the corporation’s daily business and long term planning.Qatar Energy is committed to contribute to a better future by meetingtoday’s economic needs, while safeguarding our environment and resourcesfor generations to come. Thriving on innovation and excellence,Qatar Energy is bound to the highest levels of sustainable human, socio-economic, and environmental development in Qatar and beyond. **Department** OPERATED ONSHORE OIL FIELD DEVELOPMENT **Primary purpose of job** Lead the Petrophysical Studies Team in reservoir characterization activities to support the development and redevelopment of Qatar Energy’s giant operated onshore Dukhan field. Responsibilities include the currently developed reserves and the discovered undeveloped reserves. **Experience & Skills** Principal Accountabilities 1. Lead the Petrophysical Studies Team: Plan, coordinate and lead the work programs, studies and activities of the Petrophysical Studies Team on all the reservoirs in the Dukhan field. 2. Integrated Reservoir Studies: Initiate, conduct and co-ordinate a wide range of internal and external integrated petrophysical studies for all reservoirs in the Dukhan field to optimise recovery of oil, gas and condensate. Coordinate execution and ensure high technical quality based on sound petrophysical principles and appropriately integrated into business process and aligned with agreed goals and budget. 3. Field Development Planning and Implementation: Ensure robustness of petrophysical related methods and assumptions in subsurface models applied for development plans covering all reservoirs in the Dukhan field. 4. Reserves Determination and Production Forecasting: Collaborate with the division’s other section Heads and the Reservoir Optimisation division in the determination of in-place volume estimates for the Annual Review of Reserves for the Dukhan field. 5. Reservoir Management and Field Performance Optimisation: Lead and supervise the Petrophysical component of the annual reservoir management plans for optimization of the Dukhan field’s performance including but not limited to MDT, logging programmes, and coring. 6. Drilling and Workovers: Coordinate and provide petrophysical input for well proposals, appraisal, and near field exploration wells. Review drilling, workover and well abandonment plans for the Dukhan field. 7. Risk Management: Identify subsurface uncertainties and develop plans to acquire petrophysical related data to mitigate the associated risks. 8. Organisational development: Ensure that Petrophysical Studies Team is adequately resourced with appropriate staff through recruitment and retention of world class professionals. Foster a positive and rewarding work environment for existing staff. Ensure training of staff to internationally competitive standards and prepare development plans for Associates. 9. New Technology: Support new technology studies and implementations that aim to characterize field reservoirs and improve efficiency/recovery. 10. Contract Management: Initiate, supervise and control petrophysical subsurface contracts required to support technical studies, reservoir redevelopment and optimisation, drilling and workover activities.
