The Role
The Role
Purpose of the Job
•Deliver petrophysics (with focus on acoustic petrophysics) contribution to a wide range of high quality, business focused QI projects for the Exploration and Development Assets. The projects include for example image processing, seismic inversion, petrophysical evaluation, structural frame work analysis, seismic modeling, volume interpretation, 3D visualization.
•Contributing to a working environment where technical and operational excellence are key to success
•Coaching of less experienced (graduate) staff
•Stimulating and implementing value-adding technologies and new ways of working that lead to significant improvements in subsurface understanding and have business impact
•Providing expert petrophysical advice.
Dimensions
•The reservoir geophysics team is currently staffed with some 8 geoscientists (excluding young graduate staff) and provides a wide range of quantitative interpretation services to the E&P business in PDO.
•The team executes in the order of 20 exploration and development related reservoir geophysics projects per annum. High quality results ensure continued demand for our geophysical services.
•The job provides the opportunity for an imaginative petrophysicist who wishes to make a strong technical contribution within the reservoir geophysics team and the geophysics department
Principal Accountabilities
•Deliver petrophysical contribution to quantitative interpretation studies, such as amplitude studies, forward modeling, seismic inversion projects, 3D visualization, 4D seismic feasibility, using and updating best-practice workflows.
•Main focus will be verification and editing of acoustic logs, fluid substitution, rock property studies, conventional petrophysical evaluation, advise and design of logging programs and managing petrophysical data.
•Coaching and motivating colleagues and contributing to a team spirit that is characterized by performance, co-operation, support, openness and respect
•Promote technical and operational excellence and lateral learning
•Maintain and further develop the reputation of the reservoir characterization team
•Build and maintain an excellent dialogue and working relation with customers in the Exploration and Development Assets and pro-actively inventorize their needs and ways in which the team can contribute to the solution of key business challenges.
•To liaise with Shell International EP Company's petrophysical R&D groups and similar groups of contractors on technical developments and stimulate innovation with due regard for a proper balance between risk and benefits
Main Challenges
•To help the Asset teams in solving their business problems and to be pro-active in identifying opportunities for adding additional value with existing or emerging technologies
•Creating an innovative environment, responsive to changing business requirements, where petrophysical technologies are rapidly and successfully implemented
•To work in integrated projects with contributions from seismic processing, reservoir geophysics, reservoir geology and reservoir engineering
•To further enhance the profile of the reservoir geophysics team, fully committed to the principles of technical and operational excellence
•To continuously develop own skills and knowledge in the field of petrophysics, reservoir engineering, geology and geophysics
•Coaching less experienced staff in the team
Development Opportunities
•To deepen experience in acoustic petrophysics
•To broaden experience working in a multidisciplinary team
•To introduce new technologies in a well established organization
•To develop coaching and mentoring skills

About the Company
Petroleum Development Oman is the foremost exploration and production company in the Sultanate. It accounts for more than 90% of the country's crude-oil production and nearly all of its natural-gas supply. The Company is owned by the Government of Oman (which has a 60% interest), Royal Dutch Shell (which has a 34% interest), Total (which has a 4% interest) and Partex (which has a 2% interest).
PDO finds oil fields and develops them into productive assets by drilling wells and constructing and operating various hydrocarbon treatment and transport facilities.
PDO also finds, develops and operates natural-gas fields and their associated production systems—all on behalf of the Government of Oman.
In addition, PDO plays a key role in educating and developing young Omani talent through its comprehensive education and training programmes. It also supports and encourages local businesses and communities through its Business Development Centre. PDO believes that the sustainable development of the country is furthered through its education and training initiatives and through its efforts to stimulate successful Omani businesses throughout the country.
