- A wide knowledge of LWD and wireline logging technologies and applications.
- A minimum of two years' experience in geo-steering (with triple combo log) and real-time operations.
- Familiarity with LWD and/or wireline borehole image interpretation.
- Familiar with rig operations and vendor logging systems.
- Experienced with applications that are used for conducting reservoir development studies and drilling operations (mapping, correlation, well planning, etc...).
Good 3D modeling experience
- Ability to take critical decisions and solve problems.
- Ability to work in multidiscipline teams.
