Job Title: Stimulation Engineer
Sector: Oil and Gas
Open to: Locals Only
Job Summary To design, plan, coordinate and support the execution of stimulation interventions in naturally fractured carbonates to optimize production and injection in a safe and cost-effective way.
Key Responsibilities
- Work closely with service companies to achieve optimum design of planned stimulating (recipe, pump schedule and flowback)
- Write specialized stimulation intervention programs for wells in fractured carbonates to achieve safe, technically sound and cost-efficient treatment
- Develop detailed well stimulation cost estimates for assessing the economic viability of the intervention
- Design and execute quality assurance/quality control and perform post-job analysis for well stimulations
- Determine production improvement potential for wells; perform studies and projects assuring adequacy and conformance to overall objectives across stimulation, production, well design/testing programs, reservoir flow properties and fluid studies
- Plan, monitor and validate well surveillance activities to ensure well integrity
- Identify, evaluate, and select potential vendors to support well stimulations
- Maintain safety as a core principal in every aspect of the job and serve as a safety leader
- Manage the post-well operations reporting process to ensure optimization of operational data for continuous design and operational improvement
- Provide input into the specification of completion and well intervention related equipment and services
- Work closely with the sub-surface team to ensure reservoir requirements are delivered
- Work between the field and the office, particularly during stimulation operations
- Provide coverage for the Senior Stimulation Engineer during rotation leave
Required Qualifications & Experience
- Minimum education: Bachelor’s Degree
- Minimum of 7–8 years in Stimulation Engineering
- Significant experience with naturally fractured carbonates
- Experience with coiled tubing and interventions
- Demonstrated expertise in at least one industry-leading hydraulic fracturing simulation software (e.g., Stim Plan, Kinetix, GOHFER)
- Proficiency in petrophysical and mechanical property logs, Nodal Analysis, and advanced IP and EUR strategies
- Familiarity with reservoir engineering workflows and software (e.g., Petrel, Echelon)
Key Attributes
- Good understanding of well–reservoir interaction in fractured carbonates
- Flexible to travel to field when needed (Kurdistan/Iraq)
- Team player
- Open to sharing experience and new ideas
- Achievement-focused and practical
- Committed to safety as a value
