About this role

The Wellsite Geologist II provides geological support during drilling operations by interpreting wellsite data, monitoring geological services, and helping optimize wellbore placement. This role supports drilling, reservoir studies, and field development plans while ensuring accurate geological data collection, reporting, and communication with key stakeholders.

Daily work includes supervising mudlogging, LWD, wireline, and coring operations. The geologist monitors and interprets geological data to guide wellbore placement and maintains pressure evaluation logs during active drilling.

Coordination with third-party vendors ensures quality data acquisition. The role compiles well completion reports, generates detailed observations with geological interpretations, and handles post-drilling shipments of samples and logs in offshore settings.

Mentoring less experienced staff supports team development. The position contributes to pre-drill planning and post-drill reporting that informs reservoir studies and broader field development activities.
