Engineer, Production

Company Overview

ADNOC Group’s largest oil-producing business is responsible for more than half of ADNOC’s total crude output. It is also the country’s longest-established oil producer, with roots going back to 1939, when a 75-year concession was granted to search for oil and gas in Abu Dhabi.

The company is also recognized for its sustainability leadership. It was the first organization globally to capture carbon from the iron and steel sector, and its Al Reyadah CCUS plant can capture 800,000 tonnes of CO2 annually from Emirates Steel Industries for use in the Bab and Rumaitha fields to support enhanced oil recovery. This facility plays an important role in ADNOC’s 2030 sustainability ambitions.

Role Purpose

This position is responsible for planning, supervising, and performing a range of rigless well operations, testing activities, and stimulation work to improve the performance of oil and gas producing wells, as well as water supply and water/gas injection wells.
