Development (Geologist I )

We are seeking a Development Geologist, with expertise in reservoir characterization and development of tight sand plays. This Division is responsible for the characterization and development of an established tight sand play in the Kingdom, through initiating and executing integrated subsurface projects to guide development campaigns in order to meet gas production targets from unconventional resources. In addition, the division offers support to production engineering for stimulation and hydraulic fracturing operations. The Tight Sand Development Geologist's primary role will be to generate and interpret fit-for-purpose geological models for reservoir characterization, field development plans, and hydrocarbon in-place assessments by integrating sedimentology, petrophysics, and geomechanics as well as drilling, stimulation, and production. Candidate will be required to perform and demonstrate the following : Use geological models to recommend placement of wells and supplementary processes to enhance production. Integrate and utilize geological and engineering data to optimize field development strategy. Identify opportunities for workovers, infill drilling, and multi-well pad optimization. Perform complex geological assignments such as resource assessments and create volumetric calculations to determine reserves estimations. Build and document static models while illustrating with cross sections, maps, cross plots, histograms, and summary tables, with high efficiency in using Petrel or RMS software. Work with reservoir engineers and reserve auditors to determine reserve estimations. Collaborate with field production and drilling departments on well performance and optimization. Champion operational activities from planning to execution using a Collaborative Work Environment by working closely with drilling, production engineering, and reservoir engineering teams.

The successful candidate will possess the following characteristics : A Bachelor’s degree in Geology or a related science as appropriate to the required discipline. An advanced degree is preferred and will reduce prerequisite work experience stated below by one year for a Master's degree and two years for a Ph.D. Approximately 15 years’ experience with at least 5-10 years in unconventional tight sand plays across different unconventional hydrocarbon basins required. We will consider candidates with more or less experience depending on the quality of their experience. High level experience in integrating regional to field-scale geological evaluations and applied petroleum systems analysis with knowledge of industry best practices in development optimization and operational efficiency with a high efficiency in using static modeling software such as Petrel and RMS. The candidate must have the ability to work on a multidisciplinary team with excellent interpersonal and presentation skills for knowledge sharing objectives.
