We are seeking a Seismic Petrophysicist to join Geophysical Imaging Department.
The Geophysical Imaging Department is an organisation that supports Saudi Aramco exploration and development programs through providing timely quality geophysical solutions focusing on subsurface images and quality of reservoirs and prospects. The department works in a solution-based model that integrates different geophysical disciplines like survey design, acquisition, time processing, depth imaging, near surface modelling, borehole geophysics, potential fields, rock physics and inversion. Such dynamic model works interactively with clients, interpreters, to support exploration and development programs business needs.
A Seismic Petrophysicist will have an extensive experience in formation evaluation in conventional and unconventional reservoirs, single and multi-well petrophysics and core-log integration. An experience in handling projects with large number of wells and delivering results with tight deadlines. And well versed in a wide range of petrophysical techniques and log data types such as sonic, image logs, NMR and other latest logging technology. A Seismic Petrophysicist should be eager in leading and participating in new technology.

Key Responsibilities:

You will be required to perform the following:
- QC elastic logs: RHOB/DT/DTSM well by well.
- Perform log conditioning/editing, splicing, depth matching.
- Estimate the missing logs.
- Calibrate elastic logs over a reference zone for consistency for seismic integration.
- Process sonic data using raw waveforms from different service companies.
- QC & Validate the petrophysical analysis (Phi/Sw) for the selected wells.
- Manage & deliver the seismic petrophysics input on time for all on-going projects.
