Description

Summary: Design, develop, and optimize methods for extracting oil and gas from underground reservoirs safely, efficiently, and cost-effectively, collaborating with various teams. Highlights: 1. Optimize oil and gas extraction methods 2. Collaborate on drilling operations and reservoir performance 3. Utilize advanced reservoir and production engineering tools **Job Title \-Petroleum Engineer** **Summary** Design, develop, and optimize methods for extracting oil and gas from underground reservoirs safely, efficiently, and cost\-effectively. Collaborate with geoscientists, drilling and production teams, and operations to plan wells, evaluate reservoir performance, and implement production enhancements. **Key Responsibilities** * Design and evaluate drilling and well\-completion programs (vertical, deviated, horizontal) to meet production and safety targets. * Perform reservoir engineering: estimate reserves, build and run reservoir simulation models, forecast production, and recommend recovery strategies (primary, secondary, enhanced oil recovery). * Analyze well performance and production data; diagnose issues (water/gas breakthrough, scaling, sand production) and recommend remediation. * Calculate well economics, perform production optimization (artificial lift, choke management), and advise on field development plans. * Design and specify well completions, stimulation (hydraulic fracturing, acidizing), and sand\-control measures. * Collaborate on drilling operations: mud programs, casing and cement design, directional drilling plans, and well\-control procedures. * Oversee surface facility requirements for separation, gas handling, and produced water treatment related to well design. * Conduct material and equipment selection; evaluate vendor proposals and ensure compliance with engineering standards. * Perform risk assessments, HAZOP reviews, and ensure operations comply with safety and environmental regulations. * Prepare technical reports, well proposals, cost estimates, and present findings to stakeholders. * Support permitting, liaise with regulatory agencies, and ensure environmental mitigation measures are applied. **Required Qualifications** * BS in Petroleum Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or related engineering discipline. * 2\+ years industry experience (varies by level) in upstream oil \& gas operations, reservoir engineering, or drilling/completions. * Proficiency with reservoir and production engineering tools (e.g., Eclipse, CMG, OFM, Prosper, MBAL, PIPESIM). * Strong understanding of reservoir fundamentals, wellbore hydraulics, production systems, and drilling/completion practices. * Competence with data analysis and programming (Excel, VBA, Python, MATLAB). * Familiarity with petroleum geology concepts and well log interpretation. * Knowledge of health, safety, and environmental regulations and industry standards (API, ISO). * Effective communication skills and ability to work cross\-functionally. **Preferred Qualifications** * MS in Petroleum Engineering or related advanced degree. * Experience with unconventional reservoirs, hydraulic fracturing design, or enhanced oil recovery techniques. * Field experience in rig operations, well testing, or production surveillance. * Familiarity with reservoir surveillance technologies (PLT, MDT), data analytics, and machine learning applications in reservoir engineering. * Professional Engineer (PE) license or equivalent certifications. **Skills \& Tools** * Reservoir simulators: Eclipse, CMG * Production/well modeling: PIPESIM, Prosper, OFM * Data analysis: Python, MATLAB, Excel/VBA, SQL * Petrophysics/well logs: Petrel, Techlog (basic interpretation) * Project management and cost estimation tools Pay: QAR10,849\.56 \- QAR18,749\.66 per month Work Location: In person
