• 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.

2.1 PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTABILITY

• Develop rock typing from the core and log data.
• Provide 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.
• Plan, undertake and manage petrophysical studies for reservoir characterization and volumetric resource assessment.
