Job Description:

A career in Production & Operations is an opportunity to help shape the future of bp. As part of the team, you'll apply digital technologies and an agile approach as we transform our operating assets in pursuit of our net zero ambition. You'll also help to develop hydrocarbon resources, delivering transformative projects and growing your talent in all kinds of new and exciting ways within the operational heart of bp!

About the role

As a Reservoir Engineer in bp's North Sea Subsurface team, the successful candidate will be deployed to the ETAP Depletion Management Squad where they will be responsible implementing and optimising depletion plans.

The ETAP (Eastern Trough Area Project) asset is a material bp business in the Central North Sea. The asset comprises a Central Processing Facility (CPF), where all processing and export is handled, and a separate bridge-linked quarters and utilities platform. The current base production consists of 6 fields with a total of ~2bnboe originally in-place, of which c. 591mmboe gross has been produced. Activity in the area ranges from exploration, green field project work to infill and production optimisation.

ETAP is in the East Central Graben of the North Sea a highly prolific basin with a variety of structural settings and a wide range of reservoir types and fluids. The current ETAP production is dominated by the normally pressured Cretaceous and Paleogene with most future potential in the HPHT Triassic and Jurassic. ETAP is an attractive tie-back facility within the CNS due to its water flooding and HPHT oil handling capability.

What you will deliver

Reservoir Engineers in the team are responsible for reservoir and well management, resource progression, and workflows associated with production forecasting, well work, business activity progression and depletion planning.
