Overview
We are seeking a
Risk & Resource Geoscientist - Relocate to Saudi Arabia
to join our Unconventional Resources Exploration and Characterization Department (URECD). URECD identifies and evaluates Unconventional Resources across the Kingdom, leveraging integrated subsurface studies to drive portfolio growth and support appraisal and field development plans. The role requires relocation to Saudi Arabia and close collaboration with exploration, appraisal, and development teams to integrate geologic and engineering data for risk and resource estimates, and to provide independent technical evaluations of wells, fields, and studies. Candidate must Relocate to Saudi Arabia. Key Responsibilities
Assess and evaluate petroleum systems and plays interpretation workflows and products. Interrogate completed technical evaluations of wells and fields, and associated technical studies. Evaluate seismic, log, and core data to characterize subsurface structures, facies, and fluid distributions. Evaluate drilling, completions, production, and diagnostics data to understand reservoir performance. Provide guidance to geoscientists to accurately define the subsurface using geological maps, cross-sections, and grids that incorporate seismic, sedimentological, petrophysical, and geomechanical data. Work collaboratively with professionals across geoscience and engineering disciplines. Review pre-drill and post-drill well/field evaluations. Compile and present technical reports summarizing key technical risks and challenges. Mentor other geoscience professionals. Hold a Bachelor's degree in Geosciences (Geology, Geophysics, or equivalent) from a recognized program; an advanced degree is preferred. 10-15 years of experience in the Exploration and Production (E&P) industry, with depth of experience in multiple unconventional plays (source rock, and tight sand/carbonate plays). Experience in resource estimation and technical risk assessment for portfolio evaluation. Proficiency in two or more subsurface disciplines (e.g., seismic interpretation, QI, structural geology, stratigraphy, sedimentology, petrophysics, geomodelling, geochemistry, basin modeling, geomechanics). Integrated work experience with reservoir engineering, drilling, completions, and production teams to monitor operations, evaluate production and diagnostic testing, and support field development and commercial evaluation. Ability to work independently and make real-time decisions. Excellent communication and interpersonal skills to facilitate collaboration and knowledge sharing. Proficiency in industry-standard software for seismic interpretation, geological modeling, data visualization and analytics, and resource assessment (e.g., Petrel, GeoX).
Working environment
Aramco offers challenging and rewarding professional opportunities with competitive compensation and a strong commitment to talent development. We invest in technology and capital to support world-scale projects and address technical and environmental challenges. We have a long-standing history of educating and training our workforce, encouraging ongoing development of sector-specific knowledge and competencies through extensive workforce development programs.
