Petrophysical Expert

The role of the Senior Petrophysicist encompasses advanced log interpretation, core-log integration, and application of digital/AI techniques to optimize reservoir understanding.

• Lead petrophysical evaluations across exploration, appraisal, and development wells.
• Design and oversee logging programs, including tool selection, vendor coordination, and real-time monitoring.
• Conduct formation evaluation—porosity, saturation, lithology, and hydrocarbon volumes—and integrate results into subsurface models and documentation.
• Attend rig site operations while logging and coring activities to provide real-time decision support during drilling.
• Cordinate to execute coring programme and associated laboratory studies to ensure high quality deliverables.
• Perform field quality control (QC) of logging operations and ensure data integrity across all acquisition phases.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams such as drilling, geology, reservoir engineering, geophysics, and related teams to deliver petrophysical insights and optimize data acquisition strategies.
• Integrate petrophysical data with core study results, advanced logs, and provide inputs for seismic interpretation, geological modeling and resource estimation.
• Analyse advanced logs and develop workflows for evaluating conventional, unconventional, and tight reservoirs.
• Evaluate petrophysical uncertainties and their impact on volumetric resource estimates.
• Analyse and interpret cased hole and production logs to evaluate reservoir behaviour, diagnose well performance, and guide optimization strategies.

• Masters degree or higher in Geophysics from a recognized university.
• Minimum 15+ years of experience in Petrophysics domain within the oil & gas industry.
• Willing and able to travel offshore for rig site operations and field quality control.
• Proven track record in offshore exploration, appraisal, and development projects.
• Experience with major or international oil companies highly desirable.

• Proficient in industry-standard petrophysical software.
• In-depth knowledge of logging tools, acquisition systems, and core-log-seismic integration workflows.
• Skilled in advanced interpretation techniques, including rock physics, facies classification and saturation modelling.
• Hands-on experience in machine learning and data analytics applications in petrophysical evaluation.
