Accountabilities.  

The Senior Petrophysicist will be the company expert on matters related to petrophysics. The successful candidate will be part of an integrated geoscience team and will be required to work hand in hand with the geoscience, the reservoir and petroleum engineering teams. The incumbent is expected to work in field development, well planning, operations support and data acquisition strategy for new vertical, deviated and horizontal wells. In addition, the successful candidate is also expected to provide input to field development studies including conventional and special core analysis, log analysis, formation pressure analysis, saturation modelling for input to reservoir models, rock mechanics and formation damage studies. Previous experience with LWD is highly desirable. The position includes supervising contractors and mentoring/coaching less experienced company staff.    

Job activities.
 
  • Plans optimal data acquisition programs for exploration appraisal and development wells.
  • Provides petrophysical support for exploration and development projects.
  • Conduct petrophysical data analysis, saturation modeling for input to reservoir models, distribution of reservoir properties, rock typing, calculation of volumetrics, and rock mechanical/physics and net pay.
  • Perform petrophysical evaluations on existing and newly required logs and supports active geosteering and documents evaluations.
  • Possess a thorough knowledge of the prospecting for and production of hydrocarbons (reservoir characteristics, drilling operations, production operations).
  • Capable of working with and skilled in both open and cased-hole logging tools and their physical measurements.
  • Proposes and plans routine core and SCAL programmes.
  • Supports contract tendering procedures and provide advice on petrophysical service contractors.
  • Manages petrophysical contracts including logging and core acquisition programmes and ensures cost control and verification of invoices in accordance with contracts and the work performed.
  • Develops best petrophysical interpretation practices and workflows for routine tasks.
  • Works across functional teams sharing best practices knowledge of evaluation processes.
  • Provides petrophysical advice for well completions, including input to the selection of perforation intervals.
  • Recommends optimum MWD/LWD tool suites to allow cost effective landing and steering of horizontal wells.
  • Maintains/enhances detailed overburden description and geomechanical model for trajectory planning.
  • Works with the geoscience team to identify and recommend new drilling locations and subsurface targets for exploration and development wells to optimize field development.
  • Prepares well proposals/prognosis for new wells and follow up on drilling operations and update the petrophysical models based on well results.
  • Coordinates management of Mud Logging, well site geology LWD, Wireline and other contracts.
  • QA/QC petrophysical data and maintains the databases including real time data links.
  • Coaches and mentors junior petrophysicists to ensure their development.
Authorizations.  
  • Budget: None
  • Subordinates: None
  • Internal Interfaces: RE, PT teams, Operations, Planning and Drilling departments
  • External Interfaces: PDO SQU, MOG, Service companies

المهارات المطلوبة

  • University degree in Geosciences/Physics, MSc and PhD preferred. Minimum 12-15+ years’ experience in petrophysics, of which at least 10 should be in integrated field development planning and reservoir modeling.
  • Capable of working independently.
  • Must have carbonate/clastic reservoir experience and worked on producing fields.
  • Prepares comprehensive documentation, presentations and workshops related to specific business plans, study work scopes or discipline content.
  • Experienced in major Petrophysical software packages applied in the industry for well and reservoir interpretation (IP, Techlog, Openworks).
  • Must be current with the latest industry tools and petrophysical interpretation techniques working with both clastic and carbonate reservoir systems.
  • Familiarity with methods of core retrieval, handling, and competent in the design of conventional and special core analysis programs.
  • Knowledgeable in petrophysical and geological analysis with a focus on core log data integration.
  • Image log processing and interpretation skills are desirable.
  • Must be willing to work in integrated teams and have the ability to interact effectively with geoscientists. Possess organizational skills. Good presentation and communication skills, written and verbal.
  • Able to work effectively within and across teams to share knowledge and best practice, and to create integrated products.
  • Proven track record of leading people and of coaching and mentoring junior staff.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • Strong project management and organizational skills
  • Effective communicator, ability to coach / mentor younger staff and ability to think beyond petrophysical discipline
  • Experience in managing subsurface study/services contracts, new scope of work document preparation and the evaluation of submissions is desirable
