Operations / Wellsite Geologist III

Key Responsibilities

• Support the planning and execution of wells, including well planning, surveillance, and delivery of geological objectives.
• Develop key well planning deliverables such as tophole prognosis, pore pressure prediction, and input to well design.
• Cookordination with wells engineers, petrophysicists, and geoscience teams to align geological evaluation and operational requirements.
• Prepare geological programs, formation evaluation plans, communication protocols, and supporting documentation for well execution.
• Contribute to casing seat selection, total depth selection protocols, coring programs, and formation evaluation design.
• Provide technical oversight and support to wellsite geological personnel and associated service providers to ensure high-quality data acquisition.
• Review geological data, wellsite information, logs, and drilling results to support operational decisions during drilling and logging activities.
• Assist with geosteering, wireline logging, coring operations, and wellsite-based geological activities where required.
• Maintain quality control, storage, and archival of relevant electronic and physical geological data.
• Compile final well reports and present technical findings, reviews, and lessons learned to subsurface and wells teams.
