The Company Where Energy Is Opportunity
The Saudi Arabia's largest producer of hydrocarbons (oil and gas) will be in Buenos Aires in December conducting face-to-face interviews for expatriate opportunities based in Saudi Arabia.
You will have a unique opportunity of being part of a multicultural energy company, getting involved with leading technologies and being engaged in the development of the production, shipping, and marketing of new low-carbon fuels.
Your family will enjoy a multicultural life in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, a country that today is full of opportunities.
Our client
Headquartered in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and with offices around the world, our client combines market discipline with a generations’ spanning view of the future, born of nine decades experience as responsible stewards of the Kingdom’s vast hydrocarbon resources. This responsibility has driven then 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.
Why apply with us?
Apply with LHR Americas, the company chosen since 2007 by our client to support its attraction processes in Latin America. Apply to one of the vacancies we have posted, we will accompany you during the entire process. Working closely with our client's attraction team in Houston makes all the difference.
Where will you work?
Our client has a unique position in the energy industry worldwide, being the largest hydrocarbons producer with the least carbon intensity. With their considerable investment in technology and infrastructure, they strive to maximize the value of the energy they produce for the world, as well as their commitment to increase their contribution to society. Based in Saudi Arabia, and with offices worldwide, they combine the market´s discipline with a vision of the future, product of their experience of nine decades as responsible managers of the Kingdom´s vast hydrocarbon resources.

Our client is one of the most profitable companies in the world and is amongst the first five global companies by capitalization in the stock market.
Who are we looking for?
Your primary role will be to characterize sedimentary basins and build depositional models based on integrating core descriptions, petrophysical logs, stratigraphic framework, facies classification, sequence stratigraphy, and depositional modeling and their impact on reservoir development and quality. The candidate is expected to integrate and quality check all necessary data inputs of associated subsurface disciplines (geophysics, biostratigraphy, chemostratigraphy, petrophysics, structural geology and reservoir geology) into sedimentological evaluations.
Key responsabilities
• Conduct detailed sedimentological studies based on core logging, petrography, diagenesis and integration of open-hole logs to model all elements of the basin-fill history and to particularly facilitate unconventional reservoir evaluation, exploration and development in clastic sequences of glacial, fluvial and deep basin systems and/or shale/source rock systems.
• Establish detailed sequence stratigraphic and depositional environment models and maps (2D and 3D) for unconventional reservoirs in clastic systems.
• Integrate all available data (2D/3D seismic, gravity, magnetic, wireline logs, core, specialist geological techniques SEM, XRD, chemostratigraphy, isotopes, biostratigraphy, etc.) to provide analysis of well data in terms of sedimentary architecture, facies and depositional environment.
• Developing basin and reservoir exploration models, and support 3-D static geological models.
• Conduct detailed sedimentological investigations, draw conclusions, and make recommendations to support asset evaluations. Mentor co-workers in applying sedimentological principles to wider geological issues.
• Support and mentoring co-workers in applying sedimentological principles to wider exploration and development issues. Develop and promote sedimentological best practices across the unconventional resource teams.
• Remain abreast of latest industry trends, best practices and technologies in sedimentology.
• Coach and mentor young professional to develop to become Sedimentologists.
Minimum requirements
1. A Master’s degree in geology with focus on sedimentology. PhD qualification in sedimentology with focus on glaciogenic environments or mud rocks is preferred.
2. 15 years of experience, with at least 5-10 years in glaciogenic environments or unconventional plays, including shale or tight gas. We will consider candidates with more or less experience, depending on the quality of their experience.
3. Proficiency in Petrel software to create complete sedimentological project workflows that integrate a myriad of relevant data and interpretations.
4. Experience in building, maintaining and evaluating large, complex geological models utilizing sedimentological modeling software.
5. Knowledge in the integration of core data, well logs and surface geology.
6. Previous experience working with in multidisciplinary teams of geoscientists and engineers to conduct comprehensive rock evaluations and sequence stratigraphic studies.
