At Cairn, we are committed to playing a lead role in strengthening energy security for country and geared up towards contributing half of India’s oil and gas production.

We are seeking highly skilled and motivated Petrophysicists to join our Sub-surface group to design, plan and conduct integrated formation evaluation and reservoir characterization as part of our field development activities. The incumbent will be part of a collaborative, multi-disciplinary team comprising Geologists, Geophysicists, Petrophysicists, and Reservoir Engineers.

Roles and Responsibilities:

• Scope, plan, and execute extensive formation evaluation and reservoir characterization for development activities and studies.
• Conduct formation evaluation in diverse reservoirs including thin-bedded turbidites, Tight Oil, fractured basement, and fluvial reservoirs. Working knowledge of the processing, interpretation, and integration of advance logs (image, NMR, & sonic) for formation evaluation.
• Design and implement log data acquisition programs, encompassing cores, logs, and formation tests for formation evaluation and well and reservoir monitoring.
• Identify and apply the appropriate approach to develop petrophysical models for single or multi-well study to provide robust inputs for subsurface studies.
• Calibrate core data, perform Permeability & Saturation modeling, flow-unit analysis, Rock typing, and determine cut-off values for Reservoir/pay thickness calculations.
• Quantify and characterize reservoir properties including uncertainties for Development fields.
• Prepare and oversee Routine Core Analysis (RCA) and Special Core Analysis (SCAL) programs, ensuring high-quality results.
• Interpret cased hole logs, including well integrity, behind casing opportunity, cased hole saturation, and production logs.
• Demonstrate a good understanding of Geophysics, Petrophysics, and Reservoir Engineering and integration of this knowledge.
• Provide petrophysical input and support in reservoir description, rock mechanical analysis and seismic rock property studies.
• Demonstrate good understanding of vendor tools and different data acquisition practices.
• Participate in the real time well operation support and selection of the acquisition of formation pressure points, fluid samples and intervals to be perforated, tested and completed.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to provide petrophysical inputs for constructing static and dynamic models.
• Develop training programs, share industry best practices, and mentor junior geoscientists.

Qualification & Experience:

• Education: A Master’s degree in Geology/ Geophysics or relevant discipline.
• Experience: A minimum of 7 years of relevant experience in formation evaluation in development wells, reservoir characterization, well log data acquisition planning, providing petrophysical inputs for static modeling and field development planning.
• Software Skills: Proficiency in Geology is essential. Knowledge of other software is advantageous.
• Analytical Skills: Strong analytical skills to interpret data and make informed decisions.
• Interpersonal Skills: Excellent interpersonal skills to collaborate effectively with multidisciplinary teams and communicate with stakeholders at all levels.
