Job Summary

We are seeking a strong senior level reservoir engineer with extensive unconventional reservoir experience to join our Unconventional Reservoir Engineering Department.

Your primary role should be to provide technical strategic solutions to the development of unconventional asset. To perform well evaluation play assessments and generate reliable production forecasts for the Company. You should work within a multi disciplinary team consisting of geoscientists and engineers involved in the assessment and development of the specific UR assets. You will support the team with your experience in reservoir characterization and modeling reservoir management performance and surveillance to develop and execute a field development plan for Ultra tight and Channels sand reservoirs.

Responsibilities:

• Design and implement innovative solutions for depletion strategies reservoir performance analysis and field development plans for unconventional resource plays.
• Study reservoir and well performance data and develop/supervise reservoir surveillance programs and reservoir management activities.
• Supervise and conduct comprehensive fracture modeling and simulation studies to identify optimal well spacing completions design unconventional reservoir management strategies and opportunities.
• Organize and lead multifunctional peer reviews to support and improve field development design.
• Monitor operating expenses to operate and maintain wells to produce the highest volumes of oil and gas at the lowest cost.
• Prepare annual volumes and expenses for budgeting.
• Monitor and analyze well tests and production curves.
• Gather perform calculations on and analyze data such as well tests fluid levels bottomhole pressures and decline curves to assure efficient producing and equipment utilization.
• Coordinate all aspects of new completions especially design of fracture stimulation.
• Work closely with multidisciplinary teams in planning and conducting field studies.
• Prepare requirements for well construction develop well designs for new wells and provide technical assistance to drilling staff to ensure that each well is completed in a safe and efficient manner.
• Provide economic evaluation to support fastpaced development decisions and work closely with drilling completions and production teams.
• Develop and implement efficient reservoir engineering and organizational practices.
• Provide onthejob coaching and mentoring to help develop the capabilities of team members to enable them to grow technically and perform their jobs effectively and efficiently.

Requirements:

• This role required candidate to permanently relocate at Dhahran Saudi Arabia.
• Bachelors degree in Petroleum Engineering or a related science relevant to the required discipline. An advanced degree is preferred which would reduce prerequisite work experience by one year for a masters degree and two years for a PhD.
• 2025 years of experience with at least 10 years in unconventional plays including shale tight gas/condensate or channel reservoirs. International experience in unconventional hydrocarbon basins is required.
• Experience or a good understanding of stimulation program design open hole and cased hole logging capabilities well test analysis (pressure transient analysis and rate transient analysis) decline curve analysis dynamic reservoir modeling reserves classification EUR predictions and well spacing optimization to support key development decisions.
• Knowledge of applications such as IHS Harmony Kappa Workstation Suite (Saphir Topaze minimum) ECLIPSE Kinetix GOHFER (DFIT Analysis capabilities) Petroleum Expert CMG Peep OFM MOSAIC PVTsim NOVA and EOS modeling is preferred.
• Demonstrated ability to work in a fastpaced environment and handle ambiguity in analysis.
• Solid organizational and time management skills with the ability to work with limited data.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to generate management reports.
• Strong computer skills and data analysis experience preferably with Spotfire or OFM.
• Good business planning acumen including economic analysis and project management. Familiarity with field development/economic concepts with a broad knowledge in drilling completions and reservoir stimulation technologies including an understanding of horizontal multistage fracturing for unconventional reservoirs.
