Petrophysicist / Geophysicist

Key Aspects

Interpret and analyze data from drilling and other sources to determine the presence and mobility of hydrocarbons in the reservoir with evaluation and modeling of properties (like porosity and permeability) and dynamic behaviors (how fluids move through rocks).

Data Collection & Analysis

• Gather and evaluate geological data from well logs, core samples, and seismic surveys to assess rock properties such as porosity, permeability, volume and fluid saturation.

Reservoir Characterization

• Integrate geophysical, geological, and petrophysical data to create reservoir models that support active injection well management and new well development decisions.

Formation Evaluation

• Perform well log analysis and core interpretation to identify injection zones and estimate reservoir volumes, analyze confining zones, fault and fracture analysis.

Collaboration

• Work closely with geologists, geophysicists, and reservoir engineers to optimize drilling locations, production strategies, and reservoir management and to assess risk related to injection.

Well Planning & Drilling Support

• Contribute to well planning and provide real-time analysis during drilling operations.

Reporting & Presentation

• Prepare detailed petrophysical reports and present findings to management, clients, or stakeholders.
• Documenting findings and providing detailed reports on reservoir potential to aid decision-making.

Technology Use

• Utilize specialized software (e.g., Petrel, Techlog, Excel) for data analysis, visualization, and modeling.

Innovation

• Develop or adopt new techniques and tools to improve data collection and interpretation.

Key Skills & Qualifications

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in geology, geophysics, petroleum engineering, or a related field; prefer Master’s or Ph.D. degrees.
• Technical Skills: Proficiency in well-log interpretation, seismic analysis, reservoir simulation, and petrophysical modeling software.
• Analytical & Problem-Solving Skills: Ability to interpret complex subsurface data and manage uncertainty.
• Interdisciplinary Knowledge: Strong understanding of rock-fluid interactions and reservoir behavior.

Benefits

• Paid time off;
• medical, dental, vision, and life insurance;
• short-term and long-term disability insurance;
• retirement plan with company match;
• flexible spending account;
• employee assistance program.
