Reservoir Engineer

Saudi Aramco

Key Responsibilities

As the successful candidate you will be required to perform the following:

Design and implement 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 support comprehensive fracture modeling and simulation studies to identify optimal well spacing, completions design, unconventional reservoir management strategies and opportunities.

Organize and lead multi-functional 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 activity volumes and expenses for budgeting purposes.

Monitor and analyze well tests and production curves.

Gather, perform calculations on and analyze data such as well tests, fluid levels, bottom-hole pressures, and decline curves to assure efficient producing and equipment utilization.

Work closely with multidisciplinary team in planning and conducting reservoir field studies.

Prepare requirements for well construction, develop well designs for new wells and provide technical assistance to drilling staff to ensure safe and efficient well completion.

Provide economic evaluation to support fast-paced development decisions and work closely with drilling, completions, and production teams.

Develop and implement efficient reservoir engineering and organizational practices.

Provide on the job coaching and mentoring to help develop capabilities of team members enabling them to grow technically and perform their job effectively and efficiently
