Description

Job Summary

The Staff Petrophysicist will work in our Houston Corporate office and may work remotely two (2) days per week.

Responsibilities:

Formation evaluation and development of petrophysical models for Upper through Lower Tertiary turbidite reservoirs for deep water offshore Gulf of Mexico

Participate with multidisciplinary asset teams that undertake subsurface technical evaluations and reservoir characterization projects. i.e. Static/Dynamic modeling, QI seismic analysis

Integration and calibration of core to wireline and LWD log data to provide volumetric determination, lithological determination, fluid contacts and completions recommendations

Maintain and update the field specific petrophysical models, integrating and reconciling existing and future data from all subsurface disciplines

Manage well data for development fields, making evaluations, interpretations, and assessments available for integration by asset team members

Formation Evaluation (FE) data acquisition activities include planning and execution of FE programs and procedures for coring, core analysis, LWD and wireline logging, data quality control, computer processing, and data management

Perform operational petrophysics while drilling, real time evaluation, collection of formation pressures, fluid samples and rotary sidewall cores in coordination with Operations Geology

Liaise with FE Vendors (core analysis, coring, mudlogging, wireline, and LWD), Geological Operations and in-house experts, to verify operational procedures are being executed with high standards of safety, quality, and best practices

Champion petrophysical knowledge sharing / mentorship across the subsurface organization

Undertake petrophysical regional studies to support near field exploration and development teams in their efforts to evaluate new basins/plays and improve reservoir characterization of strategic assets
