Petrophysicist
Core
Integrate petrophysical data from well logs, cores, and lab measurements to build reservoir models, predict properties (porosity, permeability, saturation), and optimize well placement/completion for unconventional hydrocarbon targets.
Role type
Senior petrophysicist (reservoir characterization)
Builds
Petrophysical models, cross-sections, and reports for shale, tight clastic, and tight carbonate formations
Domain
Upstream oil & gas, unconventional reservoirs
Deliverable
production ML models | product features | dashboards & analysis | research | client delivery | infrastructure | physical/clinical work
Required skills
reservoir characterization, petrophysical modeling, well log integration, core analysis, lab measurement interpretation, hydrocarbon volume prediction, well placement optimization, data science applications, cross-section generation, report writing, project coordination, mentoring
Preferred skills
advanced degree in geosciences/geophysics, peer-reviewed publications, experience with Techlog/Petrel/Geolog
Technologies
Techlog, Petrel, Geolog
Responsibilities
Lead and build petrophysical models from multidisciplinary data; conduct detailed studies to optimize well placement and production designs; generate cross-sections and reports for stratigraphic intervals; evaluate practices and apply data science to predict reservoir quality; coordinate projects and monitor wells during/post-completion; communicate findings to peers and management; mentor junior professionals; stay updated on industry trends.
Seniority
Senior, hands-on IC with mentorship duties
