Key Deliverables:
The Belridge heavy oil recovery process team has a primary responsibility of expanding the reserve base through heavy oil exploitation efforts, identifying bypassed oil opportunities and incrementally improving the base oil recovery through managing steam effectively. Key activities include analyzing geological, 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.

Business Plan objectives for the team include developing geologic work products characterizing the heavy oil reservoirs in the Belridge Asset and performing Reservoir Studies and Flood Reviews to optimize reservoir performance. The objective is to continuously improve our understanding of the proved developed producing areas of the Belridge fields and to identify Tulare exploitation and development opportunities.

Roles and Responsibilities:

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

• Provide reservoir surveillance for the South Belridge Field, North of 7th Standard Road

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

• Provide support for sub-surface hot water injection and water disposal activities

• Ongoing planning and support of the field exit strategy

• Develop reservoir models for future development projects and bypassed oil reserves

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

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