  • Develop and calibrate geomechanically models using software tools such as Abaqus, FLAC3D, Petrel or VISAGE.
  • Evaluate and quantify the effects of geomechanically processes on reservoir behavior, fluid flow and well performance.
  • Provide geomechanically recommendations and solutions to mitigate risks and enhance opportunities for oil and gas extraction.
  • Prepare technical reports, presentations and documentation for internal and external stakeholders
  • Conduct research and development on new technologies, methods or best practices for rock mechanics or geomechanics engineering.
  • Build 1D and 3D geomechanically models for non-associated gas reservoirs.
  • Evaluating the optimum mud-weight and conduct wellbore stability analysis for newly drilled wells.
  • Work closely with other disciplines such as geology, geophysics, reservoir engineering, drilling engineering and production engineering to optimize the performance and recovery of hydrocarbons from the subsurface.
  • Keep abreast of the latest developments and trends in the oil and gas industry.


Minimum Requirements:


  • Bachelor of science in petroleum engineering, civil engineering, mechanical engineering, geotechnical engineering or related discipline from an accredited university.
  • Minimum of 15 years of experience petroleum engineering organization with 10 years of relevant experience in rock mechanics or geomechanics engineering in the oil and gas industry
  • Knowledge of rock mechanics or geomechanics principles, theories and applications
  • Knowledge of oil and gas reservoir engineering, drilling engineering and production engineering
  • Knowledge of oil and gas industry standards, regulations and best practices
