Key Deliverables of Subject Position’s Group:

• The MWSS Technical team has the primary responsibility of maintaining the performance of Aera’s MWSS reservoirs. This includes incrementally improving the base oil recovery through managing steam effectively and identifying bypassed oil infill drilling opportunities. The team is also responsible for identifying extensions to existing developments and initiating development in new horizons. Key activities include analyzing production, injection, and reservoir data to gain an in-depth understanding of reservoir performance. Activities also include planning development projects, production forecasting, economic evaluations and providing project implementation support.

• The goal of the team is to optimize MWSS reservoir performance.

• Business Plan objectives for the team include pattern reviews, drilling opportunities, steam targets, well work recommendations and maintaining depletion plans and reserve books.

Roles and Responsibilities:

• This reservoir engineering position has the following roles and responsibilities:

• Provide the required reservoir engineering to develop secondary reservoirs in the MWSS field such as Tulare, Diatomite, Spellacy and San Joaquin 7.

• Provide leadership and coordination to the effort to develop MWSS secondary reservoirs.

• Provide reservoir surveillance for reservoirs in the MWSS Lockwood Lact production areas.

• Work as the reservoir engineer and provide leadership as part of a three member team including a geologist and production engineer.

• Monitor field production and injection performance. Identify reservoir performance deficiencies and develop solutions to correct.

• Identify development and infill opportunities. Implement drilling programs.

• Provide reservoir engineering support in steamflood pattern/flood reviews to optimize areal and vertical sweep efficiency.

• Optimize primary production from diatomite light.

• Participate in reserves survey and forecast future base production and development projects.

Critical Skills and Knowledge:

• Experience with heavy oil reservoir engineering practices and surveillance methods.

• Proficient at well and reservoir performance evaluation.

• Familiar with using DSS, WRA, Lego, PEEP, etc.

• Familiarity with economic evaluation.

• Ability to evaluate risks and make decisions with limited data.

• Familiarity with and interest in continuous improvement, business process improvement, and lean concepts.

• Good verbal and written communication skills.

• Team player able to effectively work inter-dependently.
