Job purpose
Production Geologist is part of G&G Team of Long-Term Study Section in the Petroleum Engineering Department. The primary job purpose is to ensure asset value maximization, ensure geological input and uncertainties evaluation on all available data and follow up on drilling proposals and programs for the drilling campaign by utilizing different data including seismic, well, drilling, petrophysical, production, and ensuring the delivery of the final well drilling report.
Key Responsibilities:
- Geological understanding based on existing data including well data, seismic data, well log data and production data
- Well tops and correlation QC, New wells follow up and support new well drilling
- To communicate with geologists in office and drilling supervisors at rigs, and follow up drilling as a supervisor
- To supervise sub-contractors’ activities and QA/QC including: Drilling Evaluation, Mudding log, Wireline logging, Formation Evaluation and Data Acquisitions
- To provide well report post drilling and QA/QC sub-contractor’s report
- To manage drilling report and record all the data about drilling
- To conduct well and reservoir geological review, present recommendation to team and stakeholders as required
- To ensure a comprehensive range in subsurface uncertainties understanding has been well evaluated and passed on to develop production forecast, input, assumptions for WPB, STPF/LTPF
- To ensure integration and consistency between engineering and geological interpretations by close collaboration with reservoir engineer and production planners, Petrophysicists, geologists, geophysicist, operations and facilities engineers
- To mentor and train less experienced colleagues and junior staff in all aspects of surveillance and reservoir management
