Expert Geologist

Petroleum Development Oman (PDO)

Undertake reservoir geological characterization and modelling studies for heterogeneous reservoir, unconventional and fractured carbonate reservoirs to high technical standards by conducting a systematic and an integrated reservoir study using sedimentology, facies, seismic information and petrophysical data to understand reservoir compartmentalization, distribution, reservoir heterogeneities, properties, quality, architecture, and hydrocarbon distribution to define integrated (re)development opportunities and provide accurate resource assessments.

Participating in reservoir characterization studies and reservoir properties prediction/mapping following up the interpretation of all available data to identify sweet reservoir spots for better well placement.

Carry out tight sand and tight carbonate reservoir characterization and generate and interpret fit-for-purpose geological models for reservoir characterization, field development plan and hydrocarbon in place assessment by integrating sedimentology, petrophysics and geomechanics as well as drilling, stimulation, and production data.

Through property modelling and uncertainty evaluation, assist in generating realistic base case forecasts and forecast envelopes capturing the impact of risks and/or uncertainties.

Participate in improving company best practice approaches in geological modelling and reservoir characterization.

Developing and maintaining detailed stratigraphic interpretations, cross-sections, maps, and models of targeted reservoir sequences.

Assess, plan, and design geological data acquisition such as coring and open hole logging by identifying value of information and existing geological uncertainty to better understand the field and reservoir and reduce/manage geological uncertainties for optimum field evaluation, development plan and reservoir management plan.

Assure quality of L, M, H case maps for reasons of volume determination.

Support resource and reserves estimation, risk, and uncertainty assessments, contribute to internal reserve assessments in compliance with SPE guidelines & PRMS.

Coach and mentor younger geologists.
