With our significant investment in technology and infrastructure, we strive to maximize the value of the energy we produce for the world along with a commitment to enhance Aramco's value to society.

Headquartered in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and with offices around the world, we combine market discipline with a generations' spanning view of the future, born of our nine decades experience as responsible stewards of the Kingdom's vast hydrocarbon resources. This responsibility has driven us to deliver significant societal and economic benefits to not just the Kingdom, but also to a vast number of communities, economies, and countries that rely on the vital and reliable energy that we supply.

We are one of the most profitable companies in the world, as well as amongst the top five global companies by market capitalization.

Overview

We are seeking an Exploration Geoscientist with a strong track record in prospect generation to join Eastern Area Exploration Department (EAED).

The Eastern Area Exploration Department aim to meet the demand for hydrocarbon resource replacement and obtain sustainable volumes of oil and gas to replace the ongoing production. Also, EAED duties cover all prospect generation and Exploration/Delineation well location selection, and assimilation of new Exploration well drilling results throughout the Eastern Basin of Saudi Arabia, an area of more than one million square kilometers.

As an Exploration Geoscientist you will be responsible for all aspects of well and seismic data interpretation and integration to produce prospects and associated potential volume ranges combined with petroleum systems analysis to inform risk and uncertainty together with strategic alignment with the company objectives.

Key Responsibilities

As a successful candidate you will be required to perform the following:

• Near field and wildcat exploration mapping and prospect generation throughout the Basins of Saudi Arabia.
• Well log interpretation and correlations using basic logs.
• Use of advanced log interpretations where available
• Work effectively with petrophysical colleagues.
• Execute reflection seismic data interpretation 2D and 3D incorporating multiple surveys and vintages, onshore and marine, and generating attributes as required.
• Well ties using synthetics and Vertical Seismic Profile (VSP).
• Interpret seismic, including seismic stratigraphic interpretations for subtle traps.
• Apply sequence stratigraphic techniques to identify subtle traps.
• Integrate diverse data-types to construct and promote prospects.
• Assess petroleum risk elements to identify viable prospects.
• Map making using industry standard tools.
• Prospect volume and risk estimates.
• Preparing and presenting professional-quality presentation materials.
• Provide mentoring and technical assistance to young professionals.
• Select well locations, plan wells.
• Participate in well operations decision making to take critical decisions and solve problems.

Minimum Requirements

As a successful candidate you will hold a:

• Bachelor Degree in Geology & Geophysics from an accredited university. Advanced degree is a plus.
• Minimum of 15 years of experience in subsurface exploration and a proven track record in prospect generation and maturation skills including broad international experience.
• Extensive experience in applying Clastic and Carbonate Sequence and Seismic Stratigraphy & Regional Geology using seismic and well data to analyze the subsurface at all scales relevant to petroleum systems, from the basin evolution to the
• identification of stratigraphic traps and the timing of structural trap development, gross depositional environment reconstruction, reservoir potential, seal characterization and structural geology.
• Experience of planning wells and participating in decision making during the operational phase.
• Knowledge of using applications relating to data interpretation, correlations, mapping and prospect generation such as: Petrel, Petrosys, etc.
• Structural geology skills including: fault interpretation and fault seal.
