The intent of the DL role is to:
- Drive business value through the consistent application of deep technical expertise.
- Provide technical leadership and assurance through technical coaching, reviews and promotion of self-verification.
- Ensure the application of highly integrated reservoir description for greater reliability of inputs to reservoir models, reserve and well rate performance prediction and business decisions for the Region.
- Lead the right scoping, planning, execution and integration of new data acquisition programs for the exploration campaign, reservoir development and base management activities. Manage supplier delivery and performance.
- Demonstrate clear understanding of role of petrophysicists in informing business decisions and describing reservoir uncertainty and risk
- Advise and collaborate with the other regional Discipline leads, the Area Development Managers, IWD, Production, Wells, and bp Central teams
Technical SLL role activities:
- Manage technical support to Regional teams’ objectives in exploration activities, development options and reserve management.
- Leading data acquisition strategy across the region on behalf of all well data stakeholders, using bp standards.
- Accountability for completeness of data acquisition activity and cost records and QC of delivered petrophysical data. Ensure all data is stored in defined corporate stores.
- Accountability for the post well documentation of application of and value added by all log and core data using bp standards.
- Manage support to intervention and well work for life of field well integrity, zonal isolation and optimizing recovery in line with the Surveillance plan and production deferral reduction strategy
- Managing Field Studies of mature assets and deliver an assessment of the reservoir quality and resource parameters integrating core, SCAL and production data, reservoir facies, depositional environments and diagenetic fabrics with heterogeneous pore systems for detailed reservoir characterization
- Take accountability for updating and maintaining the Petrophysical models, with full awareness of their use and conclusions made and the implication for the required accuracy of the input petrophysical data and characterize the uncertainty around each parameter.
- Ensure self-verification of petrophysical work with ADMs. Verify that the discipline work program for an area is fit-for-purpose and informs business decisions in a timely manner
- Maintain program of Supplier Performance Management including service quality, continuous improvement and invoice checking and advise on supplier capabilities in open hole and cased hole data acquisition technology and operating efficiency
- Manage the petrophysical discipline health, technical competency and the development of capability in the Region
