Senior Petrophysicist

Provide expert petrophysical evaluation and formation evaluation support to maximize hydrocarbon recovery and optimize reservoir development. Lead integrated petrophysical studies by combining well log, core, laboratory, and geological data to improve reservoir characterization, support field development planning, reserves estimation, and well delivery while ensuring alignment with ADNOCs subsurface development strategies and technical standards..

• Lead advanced petrophysical interpretation and formation evaluation for exploration, appraisal, development, and production wells
• Interpret open-hole and cased-hole logs to determine porosity, permeability, water saturation, lithology, shale volume, net pay, and reservoir quality
• Integrate conventional and advanced logging data with core analysis, SCAL, RCAL, pressure, and laboratory measurements to improve reservoir understanding
• Develop, calibrate, and maintain petrophysical models and interpretation workflows for carbonate and clastic reservoirs.
• Evaluate reservoir uncertainties and recommend data acquisition strategies to improve reservoir characterization

• Provide technical input for wireline, MWD/LWD, logging programs, coring, formation testing, and special logging requirements.
• Support drilling operations by reviewing real‑time formation evaluation data and advising on logging requirements.
• Optimize data acquisition programs to maximize reservoir information while ensuring operational efficiency and cost effectiveness.
• Participate in well planning, geological prognosis, and post‑well evaluation activities.
• Collaborate with Geologists, Geophysicists, Reservoir Engineers, Drilling, and Production teams to develop integrated reservoir models.
• Provide petrophysical inputs for static geological models, dynamic reservoir simulation models, reserves estimation, and field development planning
• Support reservoir surveillance, production optimization, and infill drilling opportunities through integrated petrophysical analysis
• Participate in reservoir management studies, field redevelopment projects, and brownfield optimization initiatives.

• Develop and maintain petrophysical standards, workflows, and quality assurance procedures in accordance with ADNOC and international best practices.
• Lead technical reviews, peer assists, and knowledge‑sharing initiatives within the subsurface team.
  
  Mentor junior petrophysicists and contribute to competency development.
• Evaluate and implement new petrophysical technologies, digital workflows, and machine learning applications where applicable.

• Ensure all subsurface evaluations comply with ADNOC technical standards, corporate governance requirements, and HSE policies.
• Support Management of Change (MOC), technical assurance reviews, and integrated asset management processes.
• Maintain data quality, documentation, and technical integrity of petrophysical deliverables

• Bachelor's Degree in Petroleum Engineering, Geology, Geoscience, Physics, or a related Earth Science discipline
• Master's degree in Petrophysics, Petroleum Engineering, or Geoscience is preferred.
• Professional memberships with SPE, SPWLA, EAGE, or equivalent are desirable.
• 15+ years of petrophysics experience within the upstream Oil & Gas industry
• Proven experience supporting exploration, appraisal, development, and production assets.
• Strong experience in carbonate reservoirs, with UAE/ADNOC experience highly desirable.
• Experience working within multidisciplinary subsurface asset teams
