Paul Ekwueme

A Reservoir Simulation Engineer with 12+ years’ Experience in the oil & gas industry. I have established background knowledge in the Reservoir Management and Field Development Planning. Possess a high level working knowledge in reservoir fluid characterization. Work with a multi-disciplinary team of highly skilled professionals, proven problem solving, and analytical skills and research capabilities.

Data gathering and data QA/QC.

Work in an integrated team to perform analytical and numerical reservoir dynamic simulation modelling.

Material balance and decline curve analysis with MBAL Software; To determine the presence, type and size of aquifer, reservoir drive energy, fluid contacts movement, estimation of hydrocarbon initially in-place and aquifer rock properties.

PVT Black oil and Compositional fluid model analysis using Eclipse PVTi software.

Production Optimization with NODAL analysis; analyses production data to detect the effect of bad production practices, well problem diagnoses, unstable flow analysis, coning and IPR matching, sensitivity analysis on production variables using PROSPER software.

Reservoir dynamic simulation modelling which includes; Model initialization, history match and performance prediction forecast using Eclipse & Petrel-RE software.

Recommends reservoir dynamic stimulation candidate’s base on the hydrocarbon initially in-place volume.

Dynamic simulation uncertainty analysis, optimization, and assisted history match using Petrel-RE 

Well test design, QA/QC and interpretation using SAPHIR software.

Field development planning and project technical report writing.
