Expert Petrophysicist / Geomechanics

Petroleum Development Oman (PDO)

Perform comprehensive Integrated Petrophysical and Geomechanical studies to support and improve reservoir characterization and well performance, working closely with geoscientists and engineers.

Contribute to all stages of petrophysical and formation evaluation project work including data quality analysis, data preparation, pre-processing, data filtering / augmentation, environmental corrections, routine Logging While Drilling and Wireline log data corrections, alignment, editing and splicing.

Build and implement robust, integrated formation evaluation workflows for highly heterogeneous fractured carbonate, unconventional and conventional reservoirs.

Evaluate available well data such as well-logs, core, and test data to enable the creation of detailed 3D reservoir models with the focus on fluid properties and to create detailed unconventional petrophysical models to understand and improve petrophysical properties of zones of interest in oil unconventional plays.

Carry out integrated (core-log) and detailed resource assessments of unconventional and heavy oil resources.

Conduct petrophysical data analysis, saturation height modeling for input to reservoir models, distribution of reservoir properties, rock typing, calculation of volumetrics, and rock mechanical/physics and net pay.

Provide quantitative reservoir description in complex lithologies, characterize conventional & unconventional resources, and develop/improve techniques for formation evaluation from cores and cuttings; geo-mechanical modelling - log-derived mechanical properties, formation testing, and core measurements.

Work in an integrator across disciplines for projects to ensure they are matured effectively in an integrated manner across all subsurface disciplines as well as with wells and surface.

Provide petrophysical support for completion of unconventional and heavy oil plays during the appraisal phase as results will be critical input to their FDP studies.

Designing data acquisition programs (core-log) in support of better reservoir and associated fluids understanding/characterisation, and later evaluation and integration including open hole logging, LWD/MWD, coring, hydrocarbon sampling.

Propose and plan RCA and SCAL programmes as required.

Maintain good data management practices, consistent with company policy, focusing on data integrity and on support for the entire subsurface team.

Contribute to the identification and maturation of hydrocarbon opportunities.

Provide petrophysical support and multi-well analysis for Opportunity Generation; geological modeling; and region-, basin-, and field-scale prospectivity assessments.

Provide sufficient petrophysical inputs to Rock Physics workflows for integration with geophysical modelling.

Improve and streamline (where appropriate) petrophysical workflows within the company.

Provide petrophysical training and mentoring
