• Update and create new petrophysical prediction models for porosity, permeabilities, saturation, etc., to reduce uncertainty in the hydrocarbon-in-place estimations of pre-drilled prospects and fields in development.
• Support exploration and field development drilling programs, collaborating closely with subsurface, operations geology, and drilling teams to design and execute formation-evaluation programs that are safe and cost-effective.
