Job TitlePetrophysicist



LocationAbu Dhabi,AE



Organization NameAbu Dhabi Company for Onshore Oil operations (ADCO)



Department Description





The Abu Dhabi Company for Onshore Oil operations (ADCO) functions throughout onshore development sites as well as in the shallow coastal waters of Abu Dhabi.
The Company was incorporated in 1978 to oversee operations in onshore concession areas covering approximately 21,000 square kilometers including five of the most important mainland oilfields in the region. During the first quarter of 2006, the inauguration of the North East BAB has been started.



Brief Description





Provides professional Petrophysical advice to Drilling, Asset Teams and Field Production Operations to enhance operational decision making. Pursues and sets data gathering strategies and investigates Petrophysical problems and recommends appropriate cost effective solutions. Assesses new technology and defines areas of applications. Liaises with contractors to improve resource utilization and optimization, carries out technical audits and provides specialist support to all areas of Petrophysics including support on in-house key well and field wide review



Detailed Description





Ensure quality control of acquired and processed data and the adequacy of acquisition and processing techniques. Includes: directing/ participating in the categorization / standardization (for open hole formation evaluation) and the selection of appropriate sensors (for cased hole reservoir and well performance monitoring) for data acquisition; establishing and updating procedures and standard presentation for data acquisition; reviewing and recommending configuration of down hole tools to ensure safe operation and comprehensive / representative coverage of data across zones of interest; Performing ongoing review and update of existing data quality control procedure and monitor its application to maintain consistent acquired data quality; Developing procedures, quality checks and standards for digitizing all forms of Petrophysical data.
Controls and directs all activities related to acquisition strategy of Petrophysical data. Includes:reviewing available data to develop and verify formation evaluation and reservoir characterization model; verifying / modifying existing approach / parameters to quantify uncertainties; recommending, justifying new data acquisition and processing;
Recommend / optimize data for reservoir and well performance monitoring, corrosion detection /evaluation and down hole well problem diagnosis.
Ensure effective maintenance of Petrophysical data archiving and retention in various format (digital, film and hard copies)
Controls Petrophysical data handling and processing techniques for single well or multi wells (key wells or field wide) basis. Includes:developing of processing models; ensuring consistency in the applied calculation parameters. Optimization of rock physical properties for accurate formation evaluation, reservoir characterization and reservoir’s monitoring.
Keeps abreast of technological developments in the field of Petrophysics. Identifies new technologies and evaluates their potential application, recommends their testing and introduction when justified
Liaises with wire line logging contractors to enhance usage of resources in a cost effective manner.
