aramco, Boston, Massachusetts, us, 02298
Overview
We are seeking
Risk & Resource Geoscientist
to join our Unconventional Resources Exploration and Characterization Department (URECD). URECD identifies and evaluates Unconventional Resources across the Kingdom, leveraging integrated subsurface studies to challenge traditional perspectives and drive portfolio growth. We collaborate with asset teams to advance appraisal and field development plans, ensuring a comprehensive approach to exploring, characterizing, and developing these resources. Note:
This role requires relocation to Saudi Arabia. Responsibilities
Lead risk and resource evaluations across all subsurface assets. Work closely with exploration, appraisal, and development teams to integrate geologic and engineering data for risk and resource estimates. Provide independent technical evaluations of wells, fields, and technical studies. 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. Guide geoscientists to accurately define the subsurface using geological maps, cross-sections, and grids that incorporate seismic, sedimentological, petrophysical, and geomechanical data. Collaborate 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. Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Geosciences (Geology, Geophysics, or equivalent); advanced degree preferred. 10-15 years of experience in Exploration and Production (E&P), with substantial experience in multiple unconventional plays (source rock, tight sand, and carbonate plays). Experience in resource estimation and technical risk assessment for portfolio evaluation. Proficiency in two or more subsurface disciplines (seismic interpretation, QI, structural geology, stratigraphy, sedimentology, petrophysics, geomodelling, geochemistry, basin modeling, geomechanics). Integrated experience with reservoir engineering, drilling, completions, and production teams to monitor operations and support field development and commercial evaluation. Ability to work independently and make real-time decisions. Excellent communication and interpersonal skills for collaboration and knowledge sharing. Proficiency in industry-standard software for seismic interpretation, geological modelling, data visualization, analytics, and resource assessment (Petrel, GeoX, etc.). Working environment
Our high-performing employees are drawn by challenging and rewarding professional opportunities and are remunerated accordingly. Aramco invests heavily in talent development and supports workforce advancement through extensive development programs. Details
