About this role

Interpret and integrate geological data and provide well-site geological support for drilling wells in oil fields. Deliver optimized horizontal well bore placement, final well reports, updated horizontal well cross-sections, maps and formation evaluation logs for recent and previously drilled wells. Strive to maximize economic recovery from various reservoirs.

Provide geological support for interdisciplinary reservoir study and field development plans. Work as part of an integrated team of geoscientists, engineers, and technicians. Focus on positioning horizontal wells into targeted zones of multi-layered carbonate reservoirs.

Handle mud logging, cuttings description, real-time image logs, and correlate them to determine lithology and well path. Make recommendations on well path and target interval correction to meet well objectives. Utilize advanced LWD tools for geo-steering horizontal wells.

Develop and mentor less experienced staff. Gain experience with core handling and onsite preservation. Apply sequence stratigraphic concepts and understand surface seismic acquisition and processing.
