Senior Petrophysicist

1. KEY OBJECTIVES

• 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

2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTABILITIES

• 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.
• Conduct reservoir characterization studies to understand rock and fluid properties.
• Plan, undertake and manage petrophysical studies for reservoir characterization and volumetric resource assessment.
• Provide input for static and dynamic reservoir models.
• Present findings and recommendations to multidisciplinary teams & management.
• Implement innovative approaches to improve petrophysical evaluations and workflows.
• Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior petrophysicists and other staff.

3. KEY AUTHORITIES

• As provided/assigned by General Manager, Petroleum Development, Manager and/or Equity Team Leader.             

4. WORKING RELATIONSHIP

• Reports directly to the Manager, Head of Greenfield Subsurface, keep informing  all technical activities, and recommending future direction of studies.
• Work closely with geologists, geophysicists, reservoir engineers, and other team members to integrate petrophysical data.
• Laise and work with all disciplines of the Petroleum Exploration and Development Team, Production and Drilling departments
• Coordinates directly with any engineering contractors on reservoir studies and field development.
• Good relations must be maintained with personnel in the office and with JV Partners and regulatory authorities (Petronas).        

5. QUALIFICATIONS AND EXPERIENCE
