Overall Purpose of the Job:

Lead and supervise high quality petrophysical evaluation and support to the exploration, appraisal, development and reservoir management of the Company’s assigned by the Chief Petrophysicist from time to time. Continuous evaluation of a producing asset to determine changes in saturation levels, waterfront / fluid movement, changes in hydrocarbon water contacts; and detecting Injecting / Producing Zones, Acidizing Zones, etc. Developing cost effective logging programs: LWD/MWD, wireline, Carbon-Logging; Core programs; etc. Review drilling programs, well proposals and workover proposals to ensure proper logging requirements.

Maintains Petrophysical Data Base and advises on testing requirements in exploration / appraisal / development wells. Carries out Petrophysical field studies in order to help formulate reservoir models required for establishing Full Field Development Plans (FFDPs), and assists in monitoring fluid movements and production performance throughout the life of the field.

Principal Accountabilities:Prepare, supervise and quality control cost-effective logging programs. Provide high quality petrophysical support to the appraisal, development, and reservoir management of the company as assigned by the Chief Petrophysicist from time to time

Lead an integrated sub-surface studies. Conducts routine, well defined studies to identify the presence of hydrocarbons, evaluate reservoir characteristics and associated risks and uncertainties.

Carry out detailed petrophysical analysis in support of static and dynamic subsurface model, including production of CPI of log data; qualitative and quantitative evaluation of hydrocarbon zones, to determine petrophysical parameters (porosity, water saturation and salinity, pay thickness, permeability prediction, etc.); saturation height function models based on available data; formation pressure analysis; including core analysis

Specific experience relating to horizontal wells and the interpretation and integration of horizontal well data into static models is required.

Gains a basic appreciation of the commercial relationship with logging contractors and identifies opportunities to improve efficiency and reduce costs.

Experience in drilling or logging operations, well site geology, and core description and analysis would be advantage.

Experience in well and reservoir performance monitoring and data acquisition.

Experience of participating in data room evaluations and in partnership/JV operations/meetings is an advantage.

Keeps up to date with changing trends, technical innovation, new techniques and procedures.

Mentor and provide guidance for career and skill development for the production technology staff; and ensure best disciple practices are followed across the organization.

Participates in peer reviews, and contributes to management and joint venture partner meetings

Understands and adheres to HSE and engineering policies to minimize risk and meets required standards.

Dimensions:

The Asset development team is responsible for all exploration and exploratory appraisal/development activities in Company’s onshore acreages. The portfolio contains a robust appraisal/development opportunity to support production and increase reserve base. The team is tasked with the technical maturation of large portfolio of opportunities from which to identify and mature economically attractive development opportunities for ranking and drilling. Close cooperation with drilling and production colleagues is required to enable rapid maturation of discovered hydrocarbons and monetization of exploration discoveries.

The senior petrophysicist is expected to fully integrate petrophysical understanding of reservoir fluid dynamics with other subsurface disciplines to mature STOG opportunities and deliver as promise proposed production rates.

Leadership skills are required to effectively manage and coach a pool of Young Technical Professionals (YTPs) and trainee petroleum engineers. Direct supervisory role is required for at least two (2) YTPs.
