Stratigrapher

Aramco energizes the world economy.

Aramco occupies a unique position in the global energy industry. We are the world's largest producer of hydrocarbons (oil and gas), with the lowest upstream carbon intensity of any major producer. 

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.

We are seeking a Stratigrapher to join the Western Area & Strategic Exploration Department (WA&SED). 

The Western Area & Strategic Exploration Department responsible for the hydrocarbon & non-hydrocarbon resources through strategic & sustainable exploration programs that integrate the best talent, optimal processes and leading-edge technologies in a safe and cost-effective manner. 

As a Stratigrapher and Data Integrator you will be responsible for providing detailed well data correlations, log-log correlations, mapping, sequence stratigraphy, core descriptions, biostratigraphic, chemostratigraphic, reservoir data, and applying them in the construction of reservoir stratigraphic lateral correlations at field and regional scales. Finally, inputs to the reservoir geological models.

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

• Manage subsurface unit stratigraphy, pick and maintain formation and reservoir tops, and reads different geological data (data integration) to provide support for geological and sedimentological studies and operational decisions.
• Participate in the acquisition planning and possibly interpretation of geo-mechanical information, such as analysis of conventional core data.
• Familiarity with well production and injection testing and operations, and interpretation of well test data.
• Integrate variable data types.
• Describe of rock properties through petrophysical analysis.
• Collaborate with other team members within a multidisciplinary group, which will include participation in well planning activities for designated areas in collaboration with the field geology team, geoscientists, and modeling in accordance with work procedures.
• Develop new technologies and workflows to improve reservoir characterization, reduce cost, and improve work practice.
• Prepare and present professional-quality presentation materials.  
• Provide mentoring and technical assistance to young professionals 

As a successful candidate you will hold a:

• Bachelor’s degree in Geology-Sedimentology or Petroleum Geology from an accredited university. Advanced degree is a plus.
• 15+ years of experience in the field of reservoir geology, stratigraphy, reservoir characterization, and stratigraphy.
• Considerable prior practical skills and experience in reservoir geology operation, reading wireline logs, can define geological observations and pick correlative stratigraphic unites.
• Full understanding of the principles and application of biostratigraphy, chemo-stratigraphy and sequence stratigraphy to carbonate and siliciclastic reservoirs is required.
• Sedimentology of carbonate and siliciclastic rocks background 
• Previous experience in data integration for geological modeling purposes and the ability to use industry software (e.g., Petrel, Decision Space) is a plus.
• Ability and skills in working on different scales, field and regional scales. 
• Effectively develop project work and manage progress, through work in team environment is crucial.
• Prior experience in mentoring of junior geoscience professionals.
• Familiarity with qualitative and quantitative micro scale analysis, including reservoir diagenesis modeling, and diagenetic influence on reservoir characteristics. 
• Core scale sedimentology and correlation to wireline log, specifically image log.
