Job description

Job Overview

We are seeking a Gas Reservoir Engineer to join the Gas Reservoir Management Analytical Division (GRMAD) under the Gas Strategy & Technical Support Department, Gas Admin Area. GRMAD provides expert analytical support to optimize non-associated conventional gas assets, focusing on data-driven planning, digital solutions, and collaborative project execution to maximize value and returns on investment. Key responsibilities include developing robust drilling and stimulation 10 year plans, designing and implementing digital solutions to enhance reservoir management decision-making, and facilitating collaboration between stakeholders to drive asset performance through coordinating studies with external entities. Your primary role is to develop and manage world-class non-associated gas fields, reservoirs, and reserves, and provide specialized engineering services as part of the customized reservoir management practices. Also, provide expert data-driven advice and guidance on all aspects of gas/gas-condensate reservoir management, including designing, participating in and implementing best-in-class reservoir management programs.

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, business and investment planning, 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.
• Lead and participate in reservoir engineering studies that include reservoir stimulation modeling of various IOR processes for improvement of ultimate recovery.
• Demonstrate strong analytical skills to interpret complex reservoir data, perform scenario modeling, and provide actionable insights for optimizing reservoir performance.
• Participate in technical societies and technical groups.
• Train and mentor young engineers.
• Bachelors’ degree in Science (Petroleum Engineering) or related discipline from an accredited university, MSc or PhD is desirable, but not required.
• You will have a minimum of 10 years of experience petroleum engineering organization with a minimum of 5 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.
• Demonstrated analytical expertise, including reservoir simulation (compositional and black-oil), reserves management, acid stimulation, and hydraulic fracturing.
• 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.
