Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I was part of the Mauritania & Senegal subsurface squad and my work involved using reservoir simulation to study the movement of water in the Greater Tortue Ahmeyim field to inform the perforation decision for a well.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Definitely. My work was crucial in making a perforation decision for one of the wells. Hence, it was very relevant to an ongoing real-life project. Over the course of this project, I had to work closely with Geologists, Petrophysicists, and more. So I was given much responsibility and the support I had helped me to deliver and add value to the project.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
