The Role

Overview

Evaluate formations and characterize reservoirs for oil & gas field development.

Key Responsibilities

  • petrophysical modeling
  • core analysis
  • log interpretation
  • formation evaluation
  • data acquisition
  • mentoring

Tasks

-Identify and apply the appropriate approach to develop petrophysical models for single or multi-well study to provide robust inputs for subsurface studies. -Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to provide petrophysical inputs for constructing static and dynamic models. -Provide petrophysical input and support in reservoir description, rock mechanical analysis and seismic rock property studies. -Participate in the real time well operation support and selection of the acquisition of formation pressure points, fluid samples and intervals to be perforated, tested and completed. -Calibrate core data, perform Permeability & Saturation modeling, flow-unit analysis, Rock typing, and determine cut-off values for Reservoir/pay thickness calculations. -Conduct formation evaluation in diverse reservoirs including thin-bedded turbidites, Tight Oil, fractured basement, and fluvial reservoirs. Working knowledge of the processing, interpretation, and integration of advance logs (image, NMR, & sonic) for formation evaluation. -Participate in technical meetings with Joint Venture and other stakeholders to present technical cases -Interpret cased hole logs, including well integrity, behind casing opportunity, cased hole saturation, and production logs. -Quantify and characterize reservoir properties including uncertainties for Development fields. -Scope, plan, and execute extensive formation evaluation and reservoir characterization for development activities and studies. -Design and implement log data acquisition programs, encompassing cores, logs, and formation tests for formation evaluation and well and reservoir monitoring. -Prepare and oversee Routine Core Analysis (RCA) and Special Core Analysis (SCAL) programs, ensuring high-quality results. -Develop training programs, share industry best practices, and mentor junior geoscientists.
