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. The role focuses on positioning horizontal wells into targeted zones.

Perform 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 experience with directional drilling, well planning, depth control measurements, and understanding of BHAs.

Part of an integrated team of geoscientists, engineers, and technicians striving to maximize economic recovery from various reservoirs. Provide geological support for interdisciplinary reservoir study and field development plans. Work in carbonate reservoirs with multi-layered targets.

Develop and mentor less experienced staff. Gain operational experience with horizontal well planning, geo-steering, and construction. Apply sequence stratigraphic concepts and oversee core handling and preservation onsite.
