Description
MAIN FUNCTIONS
Interpret and integrate geological data and provide well-site geological support for drilling wells in oil fields. This Include delivering optimized horizontal wellbore placement, final well reports, updated horizontal well cross-sections, maps, and formation evaluation logs for recent and previously drilled wells. Provide geological support for interdisciplinary reservoir study and field development plans. Develop and mentor less experienced staff.
TASKS AND RESPONSIBILITIES
The primary responsibilities of the wellsite geologist are supervision of all wellsite geological personnel and operations (e.g. mudlogging, Logging While Drilling (LWD), wireline services, and core handling/processing) and quality assurance of all geological data acquisition and reporting.
- Wellsite Geological Services:
- Geological monitoring.
- Monitoring and supervision of wireline and LWD logging operations.
- Monitoring of coring operation.
- Monitoring and supervision of mudlogging operations.
- Reporting responsibilities.
- Auditing geological services when appropriate.
- Well Completion Report Compilation and Distribution • Coordination of Wellsite Geological Activities ("Operations Geologist"): Coordinate, monitor, and administer company-operated wellsite geotechnical activities.
- Pre-drill planning.
- Point of contact for third-party geological services vendors.
- Monitor and coordinate wellsite geologic data acquisition and analysis activities, disseminate information to stakeholders, and participate in regular teleconferences and meetings. • Review/verify invoices for geological services.
- Post-drill responsibilities include coordinating shipments of samples, logs, and reports as well as completing special/ad-hoc projects.
- Abnormal Pressure Surveillance
- Ensure all abnormal pressure parameters are monitored, captured on a pressure evaluation log, and reviewed with the company operations geologist and Drilling Supervisors as required
- Generate and distribute detailed reports compiling parameters, observations, and interpretations
