Gas Reservoir Engineer

Overview

Saudi Aramco is seeking a Gas Reservoir Engineer to work part of the technical team of one of the Northern Area Gas Reservoir Managements Departments under the Gas Development Admin Department arm of Petroleum Engineering & Development Admin Area under Upstream Business Line.

As a gas reservoir engineer, you must have extensive experience of gas reservoir management to be able to support Saudi Aramco developing and managing world-class onshore and offshore non-associated gas fields, reservoirs and reserves. Our petroleum engineers conduct pioneering research, introduce new technologies and provide specialized engineering services as part of our customized reservoir management practices. As a senior gas reservoir engineer, you are expected to provide expert advice and guidance on all aspects of gas/gas-condensate reservoir management, including designing, participating in and implementing best-in-class reservoir management programs.

This position is embedded within the Petroleum Engineering business and as a senior technical specialist, will engage with leaders and experts from across the upstream business.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide guidance and oversight on best-in-class reservoir management tenets, practices and state-of-the art- technologies for all Saudi Aramco non-associated gas assets.
• Formulate reservoir development, data acquisition, strategic surveillance and monitoring master-plans to ensure optimal development and depletion strategies.
• Utilize reservoir management standards and guidelines to enhance both NPV and hydrocarbon recovery.
• Lead, design and participate in integrated field reviews and field development plans.
• Prepare reservoir engineering input into drilling and work-over proposals and programs.
• Recommend advanced completion techniques for horizontal and multi-lateral wells.
• Lead and participate in reservoir engineering studies that include reservoir stimulation modeling of various IOR processes for improvement of ultimate recovery.
• Participate in technical societies and technical groups.
• Train and mentor young engineers.

Minimum Requirements

• Bachelor of science in petroleum engineering or related discipline from an accredited university, MSc or PhD is desirable, but not required.
• Minimum of 15 years of experience petroleum engineering organization with a minimum of 7 years specializing in gas/gas-condensate reservoir management. A training history of appropriate specialized courses and seminars is expected. Technical publications are valued but in-depth practical experience is paramount.
• You must have the ability to interact and communicate effectively with specialists in geology, core and fluid analysis, petrophysics, simulation, drilling, stimulation, completion and production and facilities.
• You must have hands-on experience in reservoir simulation (compositional and black-oil), reserves management, acid stimulation and hydraulic fracturing, open-hole and cased-hole log evaluation, geological properties modeling, reservoir operations, completion and production procedures and technologies.
• You must demonstratable technical contribution in Petroleum and Reservoir engineering knowledge sharing through reputable international publications, technology patents and mentoring programs. 
• You must have history of using modern reservoir management practices for gas and gas condensate reservoirs.
