Contract Duration:
Until December 2026

Type of Contract:
Residential / Office-based

JOB DESCRIPTION

Purpose:

• Provide technical contribution for reservoir development and recovery optimisation, integrating lessons learned from historical post-mortems and well performance reports

• Identify and mature appraisal and development opportunities, feeding into development projects

Field Context:

• Large offshore oil field environment, with significant oil, water, and gas injection operations

• Each reservoir requires static and dynamic modeling; sector models used to validate development wells and work-over opportunities

• EOR projects under study with regular data acquisition and pilot campaigns

Key Responsibilities:

• Ensure strict adherence to HSE policies during all reservoir-related operations and team activities

• Implement and validate core reservoir engineering techniques including well test analysis, PLT interpretation, decline curve analysis, material balance, nodal analysis, and PVT studies

• Lead dynamic reservoir simulation work with autonomy, applying advanced methodologies and integrating production, development, and appraisal well data

• Coordinate specialty studies and integrate results across disciplines for robust reservoir models

• Drive EOR maturation by developing deployment strategies, supported by business cases and simulation/laboratory programs

• Oversee third-party contractors for EOR evaluation and de-risking, maintaining and updating EOR roadmap through decision gates

• Propose and manage reservoir data acquisition programs (fluids, SCAL, well tests, logs, cores) to support EOR studies and technology trials

• Actively participate in EOR field trials, monitoring plans and ensuring alignment with field development objectives

Context and Environment:

• Office-based in Doha, Qatar, standard office hours, 5 days per week

• Deliver high-quality, reliable technical results with full transparency on assumptions and limitations

• Lead reservoir aspects of EOR studies, including proposing work plans, mentoring junior engineers, and coordinating specialist teams

• Facilitate collaboration across subsurface disciplines and interface with drilling, completions, and well performance teams

• Operate effectively in a multicultural, multinational, matrix organisation

• Apply structured study and maturation processes through workshops and reviews, ensuring scope, schedule, and budget compliance

• Maintain continuous focus on project quality using “fit-for-purpose” principles, adapting based on quality reviews

• Act as a recognised technical specialist, influencing decisions, solving complex challenges, and contributing to organisational practices and procedures

• Support knowledge sharing, external networking, and workforce development initiatives, including coaching and staff development

Qualifications and Experience:

• 15+ years of experience in reservoir engineering or related roles in the oil and gas sector, with at least 5 years dedicated to EOR roles (Polymer, surfactant, WAG, or other reservoir contact enhancement methods)

• Master’s degree or bachelor’s degree with relevant experience in Reservoir or Petroleum Engineering discipline

• Extensive reservoir and geoscience experience in operated assets, strong skills in dynamic modeling; EOR modeling experience is highly advantageous

• Proven ability to work independently, make confident technical decisions, and deliver results

• Collaborative team player with excellent communication skills and ability to work transversely across disciplines

• Demonstrated personal qualities: persuasive, open-minded, hardworking, and delivery-oriented, with strong interpersonal and teamwork capabilities
