40m Jacket from AfarI have always assumed that as a reservoir engineer, all I have to do is think about managing my reservoirs and coming up with the best production strategy. Yet, this month, I discovered that there is more than meets the eye.
I learnt that the numbers that I provide to other parties are not only used to predict revenues, it is also used to determine the design of our future facilities. It also helps the team to decide the number of wells, the exact location to drill, the type of platform to be installed as well as the budget that is allocated to the project team. Frequently, this amounts to millions and billions of ringgit and dollars. A lot of detailed planning is involved from civil engineers, electrical engineers, chemical engineers production technologists and all the operations team. A reservoir engineer's results is the basis of all the decisions, schedule, manpower and money to be spent.
I was blind and oblivious to this glaring stark fact until I was exposed to the opportunity this month to witness the load out of a jacket.
