Perth, Western Australia, Australia

• Senior Reservoir Engineer for the Lockyer-North Erregulla Gas Development and Erregulla Oil Development. Key Responsibilities:
• Developing and calibrating reservoir simulation models to evaluate various field development plan propsals and assess reservoir behaviour under various operating scenarios including uncertainty/sensitivity analysis.
• Designed and supervised the execution of MinRes’ well test program to ensure the delivery of critical subsurface data. Performed pressure transient analyses and integrated production logging insights into dynamic.
• Managed the acquisition and evaluation of hydrocarbon and water PVT studies including composition, CCE, CVD and wax/asphaltenes studies from the Lockyer and North Erregulla drilling campaign.

Perth, Western Australia, Australia

• Senior Reservoir Engineer for Mitsui E&P Australia Perth Basin Assets including Waitsia (Operated) & Beharra Springs/Deep (Non-Operated) Gas Fields.Key Responsibilities:
• Constructed an updated dynamic model (incl. history matching utilising Uncertainty and Optimisation workflows) together with the subsurface team following the completion of the Waitsia Stage 2 6-well drilling campaign.
• Planned, executed, and interpreted wireline data (formation pressure and samples) from drilled wells.
• Performed pressure transient analyses and integrated production logging insights into dynamic modeling for accurate production forecasting and assessment of potential infill well locations
• Performed equipment sizing studies to for mid-life and late-life field enhancement to ensure flowline and pipeline sizes meet design and safety standards, such as fluid velocity and erosion modelling.
