Description
- Responsible for analyzing, evaluating and describing formations while drilling using cuttings, gas, and Wireline data; comparing data gathered during drilling with predictions
- Advise operations personnel on site and in operations office; identify lithostratigraphic formation boundaries, casing setting depths and coring points; calling for coring on shows and gas; advising on drilling hazards and drilling bit optimization;
Supervising Mudlogging and Wireline services personnel, monitoring quality control in relation to Mudlogging and Wireline services, keeping detailed records and writing reports undertaking evaluation of offset data before beginning drilling.
Liaising with drilling engineers, petroleum engineers and Mudloggers; training staff as required; acting in effect, as the representative of the geology team; ensuring transmission of logs and reports to the management and to the joint venture partners. Liaising with specialist contractors; monitoring safety continuously and ensuring good maintenance of the well; ensuring adherence to environmental protection standards, in some cases through direct discussion with local governments to ensure compliance with legislative requirements. - 25 years experience in subsurface geology including at least 10 years in supervisory capacity in geological operation with working knowledge of computer packages including but not limited to Landmark software Stratworks and Z-Map, Petrel, Petra and PC Microsoft computer applications. Directs and supervises the geological and drilling activities. Conducts geological studies and integrates geological, geophysical, petrophysical data along with reservoir engineering data i.e. reservoir characterization studies, to develop, build and update static models for use in simulation studies and models. These studies will be used to achieve higher recoveries and enhance reservoir management.
