This is a staff permanent role that will be office based in Cairo.
PositionTitle: Senior Petrophysicist (Egyptian National)
StafforTemp: Staff
Expectedpackage: To be discussed.
Location: Cairo, Egypt
Position Overview:
The Senior Petrophysicist is responsible to conduct advanced petrophysical analyses, integrating multidisciplinary data, and providing interpretations to support exploration, development, and production activities. Conduct reservoir characterization studies to understand rock and fluid properties. Evaluate porosity, permeability, water saturation, and other reservoir parameters.
Analyze and interpret logging data to determine lithology, mineralogy, and fluid contact analysis. Design and supervise the acquisition programs, e.g. logging program for appraisal and development wells.
Responsibilities:
Review currently log analysis methodology / equation, per each field, modify or update them based on the recently acquired information. Included in this will be a review of the 0ld existing core reinterpretation and ensure alignment with log interpretations for more accurate understanding of reservoir characterization.
Review all well logs and their interpretation for perforation potential behind pipe
Take part in building a hydrocarbon inventory for the field and a funnel of opportunities
Support the development geologist advisor in day to day operations including new drilling and workovers when necessary
Carry out near real-time formation evaluation in support of drilling Operations and provide guidance to support data acquisition.
Plan and manage cost-effective logging and coring programs including laboratory design and analysis RCAL/SCAL and QA/QC results.
Perform advanced petrophysical analyses using well logs, core data, and other subsurface data. Identify and quantify hydrocarbon-bearing zones and evaluate reservoir properties.
Liaising with core lab on petrophysical analysis requirements, recommend best practice to acquire quality data or results.
Conduct reservoir characterization studies to understand rock and fluid properties.
Develop rock typing from the core and log data.
Plan, undertake and manage petrophysical studies for reservoir characterization and volumetric resource assessment.
Report input for static and dynamic reservoir models.
Present findings and recommendations to multidisciplinary teams & management, including external parties such as for Joint Venture Partners and host authorities.
Implement innovative approaches to improve petrophysical evaluations and workflows.
