Senior Reservoir Engineer
Karachaganak Petroleum Operating
Total years of experience :7 years, 7 Months
• Full field Dynamic model update and history match of two models annually in Intersect (IX) (due to different seismic interpretations and geological approaches there’re 2 different working models in company that requires maintaining annually);
• Built hybrid full field dynamic model combining two models and history matched it;
• Preparing base case forecast using network (IX+ENS)
• Water production forecasting with different scenarios (using model and analytical tools)
• QC and testing the PVT experiment samples (separator, downhole) using PVTi
• Pore Pressure Prediction in new/workover wells;
• Preparing AFE profiles of new wells and projects for economic evaluation;
• Choke Modelling in dynamic model;
• Analysis of new/workover wells opportunity in dynamic model and analytically using DCA;
• Dynamic model updating and History matching of two separate Waste Water Disposal polygons in shallower Triassic water bearing sandstone formation with Eclipse (E100), which include water injection and monitoring wells;
• Updating and building VFP tables of wells using VFPi
• Participating in FDP preparation and defending to governmental (GKZ) expert commission
• Support different sections (well design (recommendation on setting packers), WTI (identifying dynamic barriers around the wells to confirm WTI results), recommendation on PLT candidates, MDT measurement depth and etc).
• Scripting in Python and VBA for automatization routine works
• Mentoring and supporting junior engineers and students on internship
ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
• Worked on successful migration of company’s dynamic model from Eclipse (E300) to new simulation software Intersect which allowed to reduce model running time up to 2 times;
• Identified ‘sweet spots’ for infill drilling for plateau extension phase
• Optimized injection well trajectories based on gas injection analysis (model, tracer, lab results) which led to the reduced gas breakthrough and efficient pressure support;
• Developed analytical tool in Excel VBA which helped to predict a start-up issue in new wells and to properly plan using N2 lifting/pumps;
• Automated an Eclipse choke model case preparation workflow using Python script which allowed to prepare case in 5 mins by Python instead of 1-2 days work;
• Full field Dynamic model update and history match of models annually in Eclipse (E300) and Intersect (IX);
• Gas injection management study:
~ optimization of existing gas injection wells rate, location, and perforations;
~ gas injection front identification based on laboratory, well test, chemical tracer, and model data;
~ gas breakthrough and gas recycling wells analysis and estimation of gas recycling rate;
~ future plan for monitoring of existing injectors;
~ estimating a Voidage Ratio in different areas in order to optimize gas injection volumes;
• No-flow well prediction analysis on new/workover wells;
• Pore Pressure Prediction in new/workover wells;
• Preparing AFE profiles of wells and projects for economic evaluation;
• Choke Modelling in dynamic model;
• Analysis of new/workover wells opportunity in dynamic model and analytically using DCA;
• Dynamic model updating and History matching of two separate Waste Water Disposal polygons in shallower Triassic water bearing sandstone formation with Eclipse (E100), which include water injection and monitoring wells;
• Support different sections (well design (recommendation on setting packers), WTI (identifying dynamic barriers around the wells to confirm WTI results), recommendation on PLT candidates, MDT measurement depth and etc).
• Full field Dynamic model update and history match of models annually in Eclipse (E300)
• Preparing monthly materials on well activities (presenting WT, PLT, MDT, WO and new wells performance results)
• Providing inputs for Geologists (Identifying hydrodynamic barriers with XPT/Stethoscope, communication of wells);
• Waste Water Disposal polygon model building in Eclipse 100;
• Well site visits during WT, well clean-up operations;
• Pore Pressure Predictions in new/workover wells.
