Aramco energizes the world economy.

Aramco occupies a unique position in the global energy industry. We are the world's largest producer of hydrocarbons (oil and gas), with the lowest upstream carbon intensity 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 along with a commitment to enhance Aramco’s value to society.

Headquartered in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and with offices around the world, we combine market discipline with a generations’ spanning view of the future, born of our nine decades experience as responsible stewards of the Kingdom’s vast hydrocarbon resources. This responsibility has driven us to deliver significant societal and economic benefits to not just the Kingdom, but also to a vast number of communities, economies, and countries that rely on the vital and reliable energy that we supply.

We are one of the most profitable companies in the world, as well as amongst the top five global companies by market capitalization.

Overview

We are seeking a senior geologist with a strong background in petrophysics and geomechanics to join Eastern Area Exploration Department with the focus to look into Contingent hydrocarbon resources and propose solutions to upgrade them into the proved reserves. Duties cover opportunity maturation and integration of engineering and G&G data to set an executable mitigation action plan.  

Team members are responsible to evaluate all the contingencies for reserves booking, propose action plan to resolve those contingencies, secure management approvals and performing post-drill analysis.

Key Responsibilities

The candidate will be required to perform the following:

Experienced in Open and cased hole logs processing and interpretation.
Strong understanding of rig operations, mud gas and advanced cuttings analysis.
Pore pressure prediction and modeling (1D/3D). Fracture Gradient and minimum horizontal stress (Shmin) estimation.
Rock Mechanical properties estimation from petrophysical logs and calibration with core-lab data
Produce Mechanical Earth Models (Mechanical stratigraphy/Rock Elastic properties/Stresses)
Expertise in multimin analysis, rock typing and facies analysis using wireline data
Overbalance analysis and formation damage
Recommends acquisition programs to reduce uncertainties and mitigate contingencies. 
Conduct technical evaluations of Special Core Analysis (SCAL) data integrated with wireline logs.
Reservoir stimulation techniques for clastics and carbonates
Knowledge and familiarity with core description and thin section analysis for petrophysical integration
Experienced in porosity and permeability modelling and saturation height function.
Familiar with low resistivity pay solutions
Use industry-standard interpretation and geographical information system tools. 
Preparing and presenting professional-quality presentation materials to technical peers and management. 
Provide mentoring and technical assistance to young professionals
Able to take critical decisions and solve problems.
Works in multidisciplinary teams.

Minimum Requirements

As the successful candidate, you will hold a bachelor or higher degree in Geology. Twenty years of experience in petrophysical evaluation for clastic and carbonate reservoirs in exploration and development wells. The candidate should have a strong expertise in planning wellbore data acquisition, quality control and interpretation of petrophysical data using industry standard softwares such as Geolog and Techlog in both deterministic and probabilistic analyses. The candidate should have a strong background in reservoir geomechanics focusing on  well planning and reservoir stimulation techniques. Experienced in integrated studies utilizing logs, cores, geological, geophysical & production data including RCA and SCAL analysis and saturation height functions. The candidate should be fluent in English with the capability to communicate verbally and in writing with excellent interpersonal and presentation skills.
