Senior 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.

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:

• Contribute to the static information acquisition plan (design) for all Zama development wells.
• Lead full cycle interpretation and integration of petrophysical data of the Zama Development.
• Define, plan, and execute petrophysical evaluation, and reservoir characterization requirements of development wells to support the relevant sub-surface activities and studies.
• Recognizes and applies appropriate methodology to develop petrophysical interpretations include deterministic or probabilistic approaches and special interpretation techniques that may be needed during field development, in single or multi-well analysis. It includes petrophysical reviews and studies of the existing exploration, appraisal (and development) wells to support the relevant sub-surface activities and studies.
• Quality control, consolidating and managing petrophysics databases which include wells, logs data both raw and interpreted, cores.
