Consultant Petrophysicist (Rotational)

WeConnect Energy is currently recruiting for a Consultant Petrophysicist (on a rotational basis) on behalf of our client, an E&P Operator based in Europe, focused on a project in North Africa. 
 

The ideal candidate will have significant petrophysics experience, ideally in the MENA region. To confirm, this role is initially a twelve-month contract position. 
 

The purpose of the role is: 

• To support our client's Joint Venture, providing high quality petrophysical support to production and development activities.

• Work closely across the Subsurface team, collaborating with the G&G and RE disciplines to ensure consistency across interpretations. 

• Supervise ongoing operations within the field. 
   

Responsibilities

• Regional design, plan and conduct integrated petrophysical interpretation (advanced and quick look) of well logs in development and potentially exploration wells.

• Create reservoir summaries sorted by zone, project and cutoff levels by integrating all available well data, identify mineralogy and lithology, locate and quantify the hydrocarbon bearing reservoir rocks: porosity, water saturation, net pay, fluid type, estimating permeability and finally reporting the conclusions.

• Collaborate in the well data acquisition, choice of logging tools, and design of the logging program for the Algerian exploration and development wells.

• Participate in the technical bid preparation, evaluation, recommendation, awarding, management, supervision and follow up of contracts for an effective electrical logging acquisition and petrophysical interpretation.

• Management, coordination, and supervision of logging operations. Provide assistance to supervise, QC and validate execution of logging operations and onsite log interpretations.

• Supervise the identification and picking of formation tops, reservoir zonation and well-to-well geological correlation.

• Participate in the selection of the acquisition of wireline pressure points, fluid samples, sidewall cores and intervals to be perforated, tested and completed. Follow-up testing and completion operations.

• Validation of raw log data, checking the data is properly acquired, labelled and indexed. Log editing, depth matching, log normalization and core-to-log correlation. Ensure the technical integrity and quality of discipline work and databases maintenance.

• Integrate and align the work with other disciplines involved in drilling operations: operation geologists, geophysicists, HSSE, logistics, drilling, reservoir and production engineers.

• Provide petrophysical input and support to production assets in reservoir geological description, conventional and special core analyses, rock mechanical analysis and seismic rock properties studies.

• Keep informed about development on new electrical logging technologies and petrophysical interpretation. Promote the introduction of new technologies where relevant and justifiable.

• Proven track record for use of general petrophysical tools and skills: Formation evaluation, advanced well-logging interpretation (NMR, PLT, Image, Sonic, Cased hole saturation logs), core data analysis & integration. 
   

Preferred Experience

• 10+ years’ experience in logging technology, including log acquisition, processing, and interpretation (preferably in onshore and shallow water areas).

• Experience working across multiple countries and basins across the full E&P lifecycle.

• Experience with clastic reservoirs.

• Experience with well operations (logging, geosteering).

• Knowledge of automation and digital ways of working.

• Knowledge of vendor tools and different data acquisition practices.

• Experience with integrated petrophysical studies and modelling.

• Experience of working in a multi-disciplinary environment and collaborations with other subsurface disciplines.

• High level of English with excellent communication skills.
