We are looking for a Senior Reservoir Engineer for one of our clients with the following details:

Start date: ASAP
Contract Duration: 12 months
Location: Abu Dhabi, UAE

Work status: Single status

Experience
  • 15+ years of progressive experience in reservoir engineering, with a strong focus on simulation

and reservoir management.

Proven hands-on expertise with:

  • INTERSECT
  • ECLIPSE
  • PETREL RE
  • Experience in Middle East fields or large-scale brownfield developments.
  • Demonstrated experience supporting field development planning, mature field optimization, and long-term forecasting.
  • Experience working in complex reservoirs (e.g., carbonates, fractured reservoirs, multiphase systems) is highly desirable.
  • Petroleum Engineering (required).
  • Bachelor's degree
  • Master's degree or PhD in a relevant discipline (preferred)

Activities:

  • Responsible for leading reservoir simulation, characterization, and reservoir management activities to maximize asset value across the field life cycle. The role requires deep technical expertise in dynamic modeling, development planning, and production optimization, with hands-on experience using INTERSECT, ECLIPSE, and Petrel RE. The position also provides technical leadership, mentoring, and decision support to multidisciplinary subsurface and development teams.
Reservoir Simulation & Modelling
  • Lead the construction, calibration, and maintenance of full-field dynamic reservoir simulation models.
  • Perform history matching, forecasting, development scenario evaluation, and risked production outlooks.
  • Apply INTERSECT and ECLIPSE simulators for complex reservoirs (heterogeneous, fractured, multiphase, EOR where applicable).
  • Integrate static models, PVT, SCAL, well performance, and surveillance data into dynamic models using Petrel RE.
Reservoir Management & Development Planning
  • Develop and implement reservoir management plans aligned with long-term field development strategies.
  • Evaluate infill drilling, recompletions, well interventions, and pattern optimization opportunities. Support field development planning (FDP), depletion strategies, and reserves maturation. Ensure continuous optimization of recovery factor, production efficiency, and pressure maintenance schemes.
Cross-Functional Leadership
  • Act as the technical authority for reservoir simulation and dynamic modelling.
  • Collaborate closely with geoscience, drilling, production, facilities, and commercial teams.
  • Provide clear, defensible recommendations to management and asset leadership.
  • Mentor and coach junior and mid-level reservoir engineers; contribute to capability building.

If you are interested, kindly apply!
