Unconventional Reservoir Engineer

Overview

We are seeking a Reservoir Engineer to join our Unconventional Reservoir Management Division.

Unconventional Reservoir Management Division is responsible to provide technical expertise to optimize unconventional resource development, focusing on reservoir characterization, modeling, and management. Key responsibilities include well evaluations, play assessments, production forecasting, and developing field plans for ultra-tight and channel sand reservoir. Your primary role is to develop and manage the Kingdom's Unconventional Resources at the most optimal unit cost through applying best-in-class reservoir management and development strategies, built on sound economics, to maximize shareholder returns.

Key Responsibilities

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

1. Design and implement solutions for depletion strategies, reservoir performance analysis and field development plans for unconventional resource plays.
2. Study reservoir and well performance data and develop/supervise reservoir surveillance programs and reservoir management activities.
3. Supervise and support comprehensive fracture modeling and simulation studies to identify optimal well spacing, completions design, unconventional reservoir management strategies and opportunities.
4. Organize and lead multi-functional peer reviews to support and improve field development design.
5. Monitor operating expenses to operate and maintain wells to produce the highest volumes of oil and gas at the lowest cost.
6. Prepare annual volumes and expenses for budgeting.
7. Monitor and analyze well tests and production curves.
8. 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.
9. Coordinate all aspect of new completions, especially design of fracture stimulation.
10. Work closely with multidisciplinary team in planning and conducting field studies.
11. 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.
12. Provide economic evaluation to support fast-paced development decisions and work closely with drilling, completions, and production teams.
13. Develop and implement efficient reservoir engineering and organizational practices.
14. Provide on the job coaching and mentoring to help develop capabilities of team members to enable them to grow technically and perform their job effectively and efficiently.

Minimum Qualifications

You should have a Bachelor's degree in Petroleum Engineering or a related engineering degree as appropriate to the required discipline. An advanced degree is preferred. You will have minimum of 10 years' experience with at least 5 years in unconventional plays including shale or tight gas/condensate or channel reservoirs, with international experience in unconventional hydrocarbon basins required. You will have experience with stimulation programs 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, well spacing and landing zone optimization, will be required to support key development decisions. You will must have knowledge of the following applications: IHS Harmony and Explorer, Kappa Workstation Suite (Saphir, Topaze minimum), Whitson, ECLIPSE, Kinetix, GOHFER, Resfrac, Petroleum Expert, CMG, Peep, PVTsim and EOS modeling is preferred Knowledge about Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence. You must have demonstrated ability to work in a fast-paced environment and handle some ambiguity in analysis. You will be able to generate Management Reports and skills and Data analysis experience. You should have good Business Planning acumen (economic analysis, project management). You will be familiar with field development / economic concepts with a broad knowledge in drilling, completions, and reservoir stimulation technologies with understanding of horizontal multistage fracturing for unconventional reservoir.
