Petrophysicist

Since its creation in 2014, Harbour has grown to become one of the world’s largest and most geographically diverse independent oil and gas companies.  Today, Harbour is producing between 475,000 and 485,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day with significant production in Norway, the UK, Germany, Argentina and North Africa.

Harbour benefits from competitive operating costs and resilient margins, and a broad set of growth options including near-infrastructure opportunities in Norway, unconventional scalable opportunities in Argentina and conventional offshore projects in Mexico and Indonesia. With low GHG emissions intensity and a leading CO2 storage position in Europe, Harbour remains committed to producing oil and gas safely and responsibly to help meet the world’s energy needs. Harbour is headquartered in London with approximately 5,000 staff and contractors across its operations and offices.  

Ours is an inclusive workplace where individuals can bring their whole selves to their job and feel recognised for the value they add. We are committed to creating a genuinely inclusive and supportive working environment to ensure everyone has a positive experience at work.

If so, we want to hear from you. 

Purpose of Role:

• Provides technical support for reservoir characterization in a Turbidite greenfield development. Responsibilities include well log interpretation, core analysis, and the preparation and execution of subsurface plans and studies aimed at enhancing reservoir understanding.

Critical Responsibilities (MAE/MATTE/HSES*):

• Ensuring that all activities are carried out in a safe manner complying with all regulatory requirements, legislation and Harbour Energy HSES Procedures.

Ethics and Compliance Responsibilities:

• Ensure that all activities and behaviours are carried out in accordance with Harbour Energy’s Ethics and Compliance Policies and Procedures, and to complete any compulsory compliance training as required.

Areas of Accountability, Responsibility and Competence:

• Supports the planning of data acquisition programs (both, open and cased hole and both, LWD and wireline)
• Support real time monitoring and decision making during operations, such as defining positions for formations pressure, both on LWD and wireline
• Supports quick look log interpretations right after operations to define perforation intervals
• Perform petrophysical interpretation post operations, based on the integration of routine and special core analysis and advanced logging data
• Creation and provision of reservoir, pay and producer summation as input for hydrocodone volume calculation
• Support generation of porosity and permeability models, as well as saturation height function models as input for static and dynamic modelling, for both, facies based and property based geo-models
• Support log data QC, provision of merged log data sets (WL, LWD, Core Data, Formation Pressure) for subsurface disciplines
• Supports preparation and interpretation of geological cross sections, structural/facies maps, and other geological representations.
• Integration of available geophysical data such as attribute maps, frequency decomposition extractions, iso-proportional slicing, among others, for the geological evaluation of infill-wells and work-over opportunities
• Generation of property maps to better understand the reservoir heterogeneity and support the generation of Iso-properties maps.

Education (Required Educational Level)

• Bachelor’s degree in the area of Earth Sciences, Geology, Geophysics, Geosciences
• Master’s degree optional

Professional Experience (Required experience in a clearly definable field of activity and total years)

• 3 years’ experience supporting petrophysical interpretation for open/case hole logs in Turbiditic settings, as well as generation of geological cross section interpretation

Technical Skills (Special Technical knowledge: As: Software. Law knowledge, standards knowledge, etc.)

• Experience performing log interpretations and petrophysical evaluation with Interactive Petrophysics (IP), preferably or similar
• Carefully and accurate in data management and statistics management
• Petrel software management, desirable
• Excellent presentation skills, both oral and visualization

Non-Technical Skills (It refers to soft skills: i.e. leadership, management skills, negotiation, communication, etc.)

• Able to work in a multi-disciplinary team
• Strong written and oral skills to efficiently communicate ideas, plans
• Teamwork and collaboration with different stakeholders
• Ability to work independently and as a team player
• Strong problem-solving capacities
• Detail-oriented focus on reaching the tasks/objectives proposed
