Job description

Aramco energizes the world economy.

Aramco occupies a unique position in the global energy industry. We are the world's largest producer of hydrocarbons (oil and gas), with the lowest upstream carbon intensity of any major producer.

With our significant investment in technology and infrastructure, we strive to maximize the value of the energy we produce for the world along with a commitment to enhance Aramco’s value to society.

Headquartered in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and with offices around the world, we combine market discipline with a spanning view of the future, born of our nine decades experience as responsible stewards of the Kingdom’s vast hydrocarbon resources. This responsibility has driven us to deliver significant societal and economic benefits to not just the Kingdom, but also to a vast number of communities, economies, and countries that rely on the vital and reliable energy that we supply.

We are one of the most profitable companies in the world, as well as amongst the top five global companies by market capitalization.

Overview

We are seeking a 3D Geological Modeler to join the Southern Area Reservoir Characterization Department.

The Southern Area Reservoir Characterization Department is responsible for providing characterization and assessment of oil resources of onshore developed fields at the highest definition required, with the aid of the latest technology, by building and maintaining integrated 3D geoscience earth models to evaluate all in-place oil resource pore volume volumetrics, support the optimization of oil field development, provide new hydrocarbon development opportunities and ensure excellence in well placement.

The 3D Geological Modeler will conduct reservoir characterization on clastic and/or carbonate reservoirs and perform Geological & Geophysical data integration for geological 3D models.

Key Responsibilities

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

1. Perform and conduct reservoir characterization studies, including Log-to-core integration, mapping, sequence stratigraphy and conceptual 3D geological modeling.
2. Contribute to field development plans through well planning using simulation ready 3D integrated model.
3. Monitor geo-steering and tracking wells, perform well evaluations while and post drilling, make well correlations, generate and/or update maps for structural, stratigraphic and fluid limits in light of the new drilling information, and make critical decisions for wellbore adjustments.
4. Interact with concerned geoscientists in the Reservoir Characterization Department, Reservoir Engineers, and Drilling & Workover Engineers and communicate clearly with all parties involved in drilling activities.
5. Prepare post-drilling analysis.

Minimum Requirements

As a successful candidate you will hold a:

1. Bachelor’s Degree in Geology from an accredited university. Advanced degree is a plus.
2. Minimum of 15 years of experience in development geology that covers practical experience in reservoir characterization, well planning, drilling operations, coring, gridding/mapping and logging.
3. Understanding of Geostatistics, structural geology, sedimentology, geophysics, and Petrophysics.
4. Minimum of 2 years of experience in geo-steering (with triple combo log) and real-time operations.
5. Knowledge of using Logging While Drilling (LWD) and wireline logging technologies and applications.
6. Knowledge of using geological software (such as DSG, Petrel, Petrosys, Geolog) that are used for conducting reservoir development studies and drilling operations (mapping, correlation, well planning, etc.).
7. Understanding of the Geology Arabian Plate and its petroleum systems, stratigraphy, tectonics and sedimentology.

Working Environment

Our high-performing employees are drawn by the challenging and rewarding professional, technical and industrial opportunities we offer, and are remunerated accordingly.

At Aramco, our people work on truly world-scale projects, supported by investment in capital and technology that is second to none. And because, as a global energy company, we are faced with addressing some of the world’s biggest technical, logistical and environmental challenges, we invest heavily in talent development.

We have a proud history of educating and training our workforce over many decades. Employees at all levels are encouraged to improve their sector-specific knowledge and competencies through our workforce development programs – one of the largest in the world.
