Wellsite Geologist III at Amaiden Energy Nigeria

Description

• Interpret and Integrate geological data and provide well-site geological support for drilling wells in oil fields.
• This Includes delivering optimized horizontal well bore placement, final well reports, updated horizontal well cross-sections, maps and formation evaluation logs for recent and previously drilled wells.
• Provide geological support for interdisciplinary reservoir study and field development plans. Develop and mentor less experience staff.

Responsibilities

• The primary responsibilities of the Wellsite Geologist is supervision of all well site geological personnel and operations (e.g. mudlogging, Logging While Drilling (LWD), Wireline services, core handling/ processing) and quality assurance of all geological data acquisition and reporting.
• Wellsite Geological Services:
• Geological monitoring.
• Monitoring and supervision of wireline and LWD logging operations.
• Monitoring of coring operation.
• Monitoring and supervision of mudlogging operations.
• Reporting responsibilities.
• Auditing geological services when appropriate.
• Well Completion Report Compilation and Distribution
• Coordination of Wellsite Geological Activities ("Operations Geologist"):  Coordinate, monitor, and administer Company operated wellsite geotechnical activities.
• Pre-drill planning.
• Point of contact for third party geological services vendors.
• Monitor and coordinate wellsite geologic data acquisition and analysis activities; disseminate information to stakeholders; participate in regular teleconferences and meetings; review/verify invoices for geological services.
• Post-drill responsibilities include coordinating shipments of samples, logs, and reports as well as completing special/ad-hoc projects.
• Abnormal Pressure Surveillance
• Ensure all abnormal pressure parameters are monitored, captured on a pressure evaluation log, and reviewed with Company Operations Geologist and Drilling Supervisors as required
• Generate and distribute detailed reports compiling parameters, observations, and interpretation

• Have successfully passed a recognized (OPITO) course in Helicopter Underwater Escape Training (HUET), Sea Survival, and H2S within the previous two years.
• Certifications must be current and not due to expire for the anticipated duration of the project.
• Experience with mud logging; cuttings description; real-time image logs; and correlating them to determine lithology and well path.
• Experience with directional drilling, well planning, depth control measurements; and understanding of BHA's (Bottom Hole Assembly).
• Experience with coring operations.
• Experience of working in integrated asset team environment.
• Experience in applying structural geology concepts and methods to assess compartmentalization/communication.
• Experience of having worked with geologic modelers to incorporate maps and their interpretations into 3D geologic models.
