Context & Environment

The Upstream part of the Lake Albert Development in Uganda consists development of eight oil fields, six onshore fields in EA1 and EA2 North blocks (together known as ‘Tilenga’, operated by TotalEnergies) and two offshore fields in EA3 block

known as ‘Kingfisher’ operated by CNOOC. The development of Tilenga requires the drilling, in factory mode, of more than 400 wells from 31 wellpads using 3 drilling rigs. The first oil is planned for the year 2026. All producers are equipped with ESPs. The recovery mechanism is water injection, which shall start at first oil to maximize production and ensure cap rock integrity. The reservoirs are fluviatile-lacustrine sandstones with high permeability, and a wide range of viscosity across the developed area.

A Polymer Injection Pre-Development Pilot will be deployed at first oil, to potentially trigger an EOR polymer flood in certain areas of Tilenga.

Activities

Main Duties and Responsibilities:

Demonstrate HSE leadership by consistently upholding high HSEQ standards.

Apply fundamental reservoir engineering techniques (well test interpretation, production analysis, PVT interpretation, material balance, simulation) to interpret and validate acquired dynamic data.

Ensure production data is accurate and up to date by working closely with well performance and field operations engineers to support dynamic synthesis.

Coordinate activities with well performance team and develop the competencies required to be an active support from a Reservoir Engineering perspective.

Coordinate with well performance and field operations team to ensure an adequate voidage replacement in the Tilenga project.

Design and implement interference test campaigns in collaboration with Reservoir Engineers, ensuring proper execution and data collection to support the Voidage Replacement groups definition and Tilenga water injection strategy.

Plan, design, execute and interpret Injection Logging Tool (ILT) campaigns for water injectors.

Request tracer sampling as required, and keep up to date the tracer sampling database, integrate in field knowledge

Lead the Polymer Injection Pre-Development (PIPD) and artificial tracer campaign implementation, ensuring all reservoir engineering requirements are met in collaboration with the field operations team.

Propose, jointly develop with geoinformation and reservoir team digital solutions to streamline the reservoir monitoring and reservoir management requirements.

Collaborate with the Geoinformation team to manage reservoir data (in T-More), including raw, processed, and interpreted data, as well as monitoring and management dashboards.

Implement and monitor the Cap Rock Integrity plan, proposing and coordinating corrective actions with the field operations team as needed.

Present RE-monitoring activities to Partners, Authorities, and HQ.
