Accountabilities

Deliver near real-time formation evaluations to support drilling operations and provide guidance on data acquisition strategies.
Plan and manage cost-effective logging and coring programmes, including the design and analysis of RCAL/SCAL laboratory results, ensuring quality control and assurance.
Perform advanced petrophysical evaluations using well logs, core samples, and other subsurface data to identify hydrocarbon-bearing zones and assess reservoir properties.
Liaise with core laboratories to specify petrophysical analysis requirements and recommend best practices to ensure the acquisition of high-quality data.
Undertake reservoir characterisation studies to understand rock and fluid properties, developing rock typing from core and log data.
Plan, execute, and oversee petrophysical studies for reservoir characterisation and volumetric resource assessments.
Provide input for the development of both static and dynamic reservoir models.
Present findings and recommendations to multidisciplinary teams, senior management, Joint Venture Partners, and host authorities.
Implement innovative techniques to enhance petrophysical evaluations and workflows.

Qualifications

A Bachelor's or Master's degree in Petroleum Geology or Earth Sciences.
A minimum of 10 years' experience in an exploration and production company or a service-related logging firm.
In-depth knowledge of MWD/LWD, wireline logging tools, and formation evaluation techniques.
Extensive experience in planning and overseeing data acquisition programmes, particularly well logging.
Proven experience in designing and ensuring quality control for laboratory analysis of rock properties.
Expertise in screening carbonate and coal formations, determining VSH/VCL, and optimising methods for log porosity and permeability calculations, calibrated against RCA/SCAL and DST data.
Proficiency in determining methods for water saturation calculations, including the use of saturation height functions and the calibration of J-Functions with log water saturation at observed contacts.
Skilled in the use of industry-standard petrophysical interpretation software such as Geolog, Techlog, and IP.
Familiarity with the evaluation of vintage logs.
Strong communication skills, with experience working in multinational environments.
A self-motivated individual capable of working independently with minimal supervision.
Demonstrated skills in negotiation, organisation, communication, and interpersonal relations.
