Senior Petroleum Engineer

About This Role

The overview of job
Lead reservoir and production engineering activities for upstream oil & gas assets, optimize hydrocarbon recovery, and provide technical direction across field development, production operations and drilling programs.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead reservoir engineering: build and maintain static and dynamic reservoir models, perform reserves estimation, decline curve analysis, material balance and volumetrics.
• Develop field development plans, production forecasts, and optimization strategies (EOR, infill drilling, workovers).
• Design and support well testing, well performance analysis, production logging, and nodal analysis to diagnose and improve well productivity.
• Provide technical input to drilling and completion programs, including well trajectories, casing/tubing design, perforation strategies and stimulation plans.
• Monitor and optimize production via allocation, artificial lift design/selection (ESP, gas lift, rod lift) and surface facility debottlenecking.
• Collaborate with subsea, facilities and operations teams to ensure integration between reservoir models and surface/network constraints.
• Perform economic evaluations, risk analysis and technical feasibility studies; prepare CAPEX/OPEX estimates and support investment decisions.
• Implement and govern data management best practices; ensure high-quality reservoir and production data for modelling and decision-making.
• Supervise and mentor junior petroleum/reservoir engineers; coordinate with multidisciplinary teams, service companies and vendors.
• Provide expert support during HSE-critical operations, well interventions and incident investigations; ensure compliance with local regulations and company standards.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Petroleum Engineering or related engineering discipline; MSc preferred.
• 8+ years upstream petroleum engineering experience with significant reservoir and production exposure; GCC experience preferred.
• Strong technical expertise in reservoir simulation (Eclipse, CMG), well performance (OFM, Prosper), and production analysis tools.
• Proficient with petrophysical interpretation, reservoir characterization, decline analysis and reserves reporting (SPE standards).
• Experience with artificial lift systems, well test interpretation, production optimization and surface network modelling.
• Familiarity with drilling and completion practices, stimulation techniques and well intervention planning.
• Excellent data analysis skills, proficiency with Python/SQL/Excel for data manipulation and automation.
• Strong communication, leadership and stakeholder management skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Advanced degree (MSc/PhD) in Petroleum Engineering or related field.
• Professional certifications or memberships (e.g., SPE).
• Experience with field development planning, enhanced oil recovery (EOR) projects, and production optimization in Middle East reservoirs.
• Knowledge of local regulatory requirements and experience working in Qatar or nearby jurisdictions.

Compensation & Benefits (example)

• Competitive Doha-market salary + performance bonus, health insurance, annual leave and end-of-service benefits.
• Professional development, training and relocation support where applicable.
