About our client:Our Client operates in the Oil and Energy industry, with its headquarters rooted strongly in Saudi Arabia. It has its branches spread to more than 50 countries, providing employment to more than 68,500 people all over the world. They fall under the Fortune 500 Companies. They are one of the world’s largest oil producers. They are constantly growing by creating new technologies through its Research and Development efforts and branch into new business lines through Investments and Acquisitions.Responsibilities:You are expected to be able to perform the following:
  • Lead and participate in integrated reservoir simulation studies, which include data analysis, model construction, history matching, calibration and prediction
  • Act as technical advisor to management regarding best practices for reservoir simulation and modeling topics particularly for unconventional resources simulation challenges
  • Work closely with Petroleum and Operations Engineers to generate, monitor, and ensure execution of short-term and long-term data gathering plans for their field (well tests, production logging tests, formation pressure data, etc.)
  • Utilize petroleum engineering software pertaining to well test analysis, material balance, production logging, nodal analysis.
  • Apply special simulation modeling techniques such as fracture modeling, compositional, PVT modeling, coupling surface and sub-surface modeling, and complex well and smart completions.
  • Study and propose alternatives to optimize field development and maximize hydrocarbon recovery from new and mature fields.
  • Provide expert mentoring, training and teach in-house technical courses to develop young engineers.
  • Represent in external technical contacts with consultants and vendors, and participate in technical societies and groups.
Requirements:
  • As a successful candidate, you should hold a Bachelor's degree in engineering, geology, geophysics or physics.
  • MSc or PhD is desirable.
  • You must have a minimum of 15 years intensive experience in the area of reservoir simulation in both conventional and unconventional fields.
  • A training history of appropriate specialized courses and seminars is expected.
  • Technical publications are valued but in-depth practical experience is paramount.
  • You should have unconventional reservoir simulation experience
  • You should have the ability to work effectively in multi-disciplinary teams and to communicate ideas clearly with specialists in reservoir characterization and geologic modeling, petro-physical evaluation, core analysis, reservoir management, and production engineering.
  • You must have extensive working knowledge of standard vendor applications for pre and post processing of simulation data.
