We’re an R&D and Innovation Venture Studio that transforms human ingenuity into technological value that scales.
Our ecosystem brings together researchers, engineers, and creators who turn complex challenges into scalable products - from subsurface imaging to AI-driven analytics, from remote sensing to digital transformation.
Our ventures are built in-house, born from research, and grown into independent companies.
Together, we’re shaping how innovation takes root in this region - and how it reaches the world.
What You’ll Do
- Deliver petroleum engineering research objectives aligned with the team’s subsurface, production, and field-development roadmap, ensuring execution against defined milestones and timelines.
- Analyze, QC well performance data, gauge data analysis, understanding and interpretation of well performance based on gauge and other data.
- Support data validation, quality control, and structured data entry for petroleum engineering datasets, including well, production, and operational data.
- Assist senior engineers and researchers with technical studies, and industry-facing articles related to reservoir performance, drilling, completion, and production optimization.
- Apply both qualitative engineering judgment and quantitative analysis (statistics, trend analysis, correlations) in subsurface and production studies.
- Design data-collection templates, workflows, and procedures for petroleum engineering research projects, including field data capture and post-processing.
- Communicate and present engineering findings, interpretations, and recommendations to management, partners, and clients in a clear and structured manner.
- Collaborate closely with product design, software engineering, data science, and client teams to translate petroleum engineering workflows into digital and analytical solutions.
- Contribute to the design, implementation, and evaluation of petroleum engineering studies, including field pilots, algorithm validation, and performance assessment.
