Cased Hole Petrophysicist

**Job description**:
Our client is currently recruiting for the position of Cased Hole Petrophysicist, based in Aberdeen.

**Responsibilities**:

- Act as the subsurface intervention reference point for all intervention subsurface data acquisition scopes (e.g. PLTs etc) from preparation through to execution.
- Independently perform cased hole log interpretations of new and legacy data in conjunction with asset GSR/PO teams when requested (or manage delivery of 3rd party interpretations), ensuring the appropriate level of uncertainty is captured and the results are presented in a timely manner.
- Act as the subsurface intervention reference point for perforations/re-perforation operations. Advise on perforating design, including QAQC of service provider simulation models, selection of perforating technique and input to the perforating pro-forma. Supply correlation reference documentation and ensure execution of perforation/re-perforation on depth to the requested accuracy.
- Advise on specialist logging for remedial work (Casing Integrity, Leak detection, CMI), engaging with service providers and evaluating new and existing technology.
- Act as the TS subsurface reference point for new well perforating. Advise on perforating design, including QAQC of service provider simulation models, selection of perforating technique and delivery of the perforating pro-forma. Supply correlation reference packs and ensure execution of perforation/re-perforation on depth to the requested accuracy.
- In conjunction with the operations geologist, project Petrophysicist and asset GSR team, oversee the design, preparation and execution of the cased hole production logging in new wells. Independently perform cased hole log interpretations of newly acquired data or manage delivery of 3rd party interpretations.
- Act as the TS Subsurface focal point for well abandonment/slot recovery cement and casing evaluations. Advise on the vendor and tool technology selection and oversee the design, preparation and execution of the cased hole abandonment logging operations.
- Independently perform cased hole log interpretations of newly acquired data (or manage delivery of 3rd party interpretations).
- Advise on specialist logging for remedial work (casing inspection, Leak detection, cement evaluation), engaging with service providers and evaluating new and existing technology.
- Contribute to the preparation of single well abandonment WSOR and full field subsurface basis of design for abandonment documentation. Coordinate with the operation geologist, asset GSR team and D&W to ensure documentation is in line with company and regulatory standards.
- Lead efforts in the development of local and global best practices for abandonment and the development of abandonment logging technology.
- Provide petrophysical and/or logging advisory support for operations and studies to the TS subsurface team as required.
- Contribute to the delivery of subsurface contract tender evaluations.
- Advise on coring and core analysis scopes for new wells and/or legacy data.
- Provide subsurface petrophysical training for geoscience and non-geoscience personnel as required, scopes including but not limited to; cased hole production log interpretation, cement bond interpretation and core/special core analysis.
- Lead efforts in the development and evaluation of new technology pertinent to cased hole abandonment and production logging.
- Contribute to the upkeep and organisation of the subsidiary's log and petrophysical database, including management of the subsurface cased hole data.
- Work with contractors, when required, to ensure that company best practices are followed, and technically sound products are delivered.
- Contribute towards the TS petrophysical data management best practices.

Experience & Qualifications:

- This post requires a minimum of BSc Hons (MSc Preferred) in earth or physical sciences with previous relevant work experience in Petrophysics and Formation Evaluation techniques.
- Experience of both open and cased hole Petrophysical evaluation work in the oil industry, including well intervention and abandonment.
- Knowledge of Petrophysical software is required, preferably Geology.
- Knowledge of alternative software for open and cased hole evaluations advantageous e.g. Techlog, Interactive Petrophysics, Emeraude, Kappa etc.
- Experience of working within a multi-disciplined environment with exposure to subsurface Oil and Gas operations
- Excellent communication and organisational skills
- Ability to work within tight time constraints while still delivering high quality technical interpretations
