Reservoir Engineer for Unconventional Reservoir (Ultra TightTight Sand & Channel Reservoir)

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 will be required to perform the following:

• Design and implement innovative solutions for depletion strategies, reservoir performance analysis and field development plans for unconventional resource plays.
• Study reservoir and well performance data and develop/supervise reservoir surveillance programs and reservoir management activities.
• Supervise and conduct comprehensive fracture modeling and simulation studies to identify optimal well spacing, completions 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 to produce the highest volumes of oil and gas at the lowest cost.
• Prepare annual volumes and expenses for budgeting.
• Monitor and analyze well tests and production curves.
• 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.
• Coordinate all aspect of new completions, especially design of fracture stimulation.
• Work closely with multidisciplinary team in planning and conducting field studies.
• 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.
• Provide economic evaluation to support fast-paced development decisions and work closely 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 capabilities of team members to enable them to grow technically and perform their job effectively and efficiently.
