Reservoir Engineer

About the role

ADES, a drilling-service company headquartered in Al Khobar, Saudi Arabia, is hiring a Reservoir Engineer based in Syria. The engineer provides reservoir-engineering analysis and technical recommendations to maximise hydrocarbon recovery and support safe, economically sound development of ADES Production assets in Syria. The role combines geological, petrophysical, pressure, PVT, well-test and production data to understand reservoir performance, maintain forecasts, estimate reserves and identify development and production opportunities.

Key responsibilities

• Monitor reservoir performance using production, injection, pressure, well-test and surveillance data, identifying trends, uncertainties, risks and recovery opportunities.
• Perform material-balance, decline-curve, pressure-transient and rate-transient analyses to assess reservoir behaviour and well performance.
• Build and update reservoir models, complete history matching and generate production forecasts under alternative development and operating scenarios.
• Prepare and maintain reserves and resources estimates, supporting annual business plans, production targets, budgets and technical assurance reviews.
• Evaluate new wells, infill opportunities, recompletions, workovers, stimulation and injection options, ranking proposals on technical value, uncertainty and economics.
• Contribute to field-development plans and surveillance programmes, integrating recommendations with Geoscience, Production Technology, Drilling, Facilities, Operations and Economics teams.

Required profile

• Bachelor's degree in Petroleum Engineering, Reservoir Engineering or a closely related discipline; a relevant master's degree is an advantage.
• 5-8 years of upstream reservoir-engineering experience across producing oil and/or gas assets, preferably including mature-field development.
• Hands-on experience in reservoir surveillance, simulation and history matching, reserves estimation, production forecasting and well-opportunity evaluation.
• Fluency in Arabic and English and the ability to influence multidisciplinary decisions.

Required skills

• Proficiency in industry-standard reservoir simulation, material-balance and subsurface tools such as Eclipse/INTERSECT, CMG, Petrel, MBAL, OFM or equivalent.
• Strong analytical, uncertainty-management and technical-reporting skills.
