Reservoir Engineer - Unconventional Resources (Relocate to Saudi Arabia)

Aramco – Greater London, England, United Kingdom

Aramco energizes the world economy. We are one of the world’s largest producers of hydrocarbon energy and chemicals, with among the lowest upstream carbon intensities 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 while enhancing Aramco’s value to society. Headquartered in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, we combine market discipline with a long‑term perspective drawn from nine decades of experience as responsible stewards of the Kingdom’s vast hydrocarbon resources.

Our responsibility drives us to deliver significant societal and economic benefits to the Kingdom and many other communities, economies, and countries that rely on the vital and reliable energy that we supply. We are among the most profitable companies in the world and one of the top five global companies by market capitalization.

We are seeking a Reservoir Engineer with specialization in Ultra Tight/Tight Sand & Channel Reservoirs to join our Unconventional Reservoir Management Division (URMD) of the Unconventional Reservoir Engineering Department (URED). URMD provides technical expertise to optimize unconventional resource development. Key responsibilities include well evaluations, play assessments, production forecasting, and developing field plans for ultra‑tight and channel sand reservoirs. Your primary role is to develop and manage the Kingdom’s unconventional resources at the most optimal unit cost through best‑in‑class reservoir management strategies built on sound economics, to maximize shareholder returns.

• 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 or supervise reservoir surveillance programs and reservoir management activities.
• Supervise and support comprehensive fracture modeling and simulation studies to identify optimal well spacing, completion 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 producing 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, calculate, and analyze data such as well tests, fluid levels, bottom‑hole pressures, and decline curves to assure efficient production and equipment utilization.
• Work closely with multidisciplinary teams 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 collaborate 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 the capabilities of team members, enabling them to grow technically and perform their job effectively and efficiently.

• Petroleum Engineering degree from a recognized and approved program. An advanced degree is preferred and will reduce prerequisite work experience by one year for a master’s degree and two years for a PhD.
• Minimum of 10–20 years of experience, with at least 5 years in unconventional plays (including shale or tight gas/condensate or channel reservoirs) and international experience in unconventional hydrocarbon basins.
• Understanding of stimulation program 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.
