Our petroleum engineers conduct pioneering research, introduce new technologies and provide specialized engineering services as part of our customized reservoir management practices. As a senior gas reservoir engineer, you are expected to provide expert advice and guidance on all aspects of gas/gas-condensate reservoir management, including designing, participating in and implementing best-in-class reservoir management programs.

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

• 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, strategic surveillance and monitoring master-plans to ensure optimal development and depletion strategies.
• Utilize reservoir management standards and guidelines to enhance both net present value and hydrocarbon recovery.
• Lead, design and participate in integrated field reviews and field development plans.
• Prepare reservoir engineering input into drilling and work-over proposals and programs.
• Recommend advanced completion techniques for horizontal and multi-lateral wells.
• Lead and participate in reservoir engineering studies that include reservoir stimulation modeling of various improved oil recovery processes for improvement of ultimate recovery.
• Participate in technical societies and technical groups.
• Provide expert advice and guidance on all aspects of gas/gas-condensate reservoir management, including designing, participating in and implementing best-in-class reservoir management programs.
• Train and mentor young engineers.

As a successful candidate you will hold a:
