Description
MAIN FUNCTIONS
Interpret and Integrate geological data and provide well-site geological
support for drilling wells in oil fields. This Includes delivering optimized horizontal well bore 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 is supervision of all well site geological personnel and operations (e.g. mudlogging, Logging
While Drilling (LWD), Wireline services, core handling/processing
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; 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 interpretation
