DNO is a Norwegian oil and gas operator focused on the Middle East-North Africa region and the North Sea. Founded in 1971, DNO is Norway’s oldest oil company. With a leading position in terms of reserves and production in the Kurdistan region of Iraq, DNO produces around 108,000 barrels of oil per day from the flagship Tawke and Peshkabir fields. The Zagros mountains in Kurdistan are home to some of the largest undeveloped hydrocarbon reservoirs in the world where the reservoir rocks consist mostly of fractured carbonates. Health, safety, environment and security are core values at DNO and are taken very seriously.

Tawke field is currently undergoing IOR through gas injection and different IOR schemes  are being investigated for the Peshkabir field. Therefore we are seeking to appoint a senior reservoir engineer for these exciting developments. The main role responsibility will be  related to field development planning and reservoir modelling of DNO’s main production and development assets. The senior reservoir engineer will be a key member of the Tawke and Peshkabir Field Development team and interact closely with the DNO Kurdistan organisation based in Dubai and Erbil. The position will be based in DNO’s corporate headquarter in Oslo.
