JOB SCOPE:
Reviews, corrects, interprets and reports rock-composition and rock-properties data collected from cuttings and core to characterize and evaluate hydrocarbon reservoirs and related rocks. Specialty in petrology and elemental geochemistry preferred. In particular uses whole-rock elemental data along with organic data and XRD to provide enhanced evaluation of stratigraphy, sedimentology, composition, reservoir quality, and physical properties.
DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES:
Receives project work from manager or senior staff. Goals, priorities, and deadlines set by manager or senior staff;
Manages personal productivity; meets deadlines or effectively communicates if deadlines for some reason cannot be met;
Understands XRF and XRD theory and is familiar with instrumentation.
Understands inorganic elemental data and mineralogy as it relates to typical hydrocarbon reservoir rocks.
Operates standard computer programs (e.g., Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Unistat, ODM, Isologica);
Becomes proficient with CoreTrac and other sample tracking methods;
Receives raw data from lab analysis (i.e. diffraction patterns for XRD, pyrograms for SRA and elemental data for XRF) and checks quality of results and standards and call for reruns as needed;
Uses Excel, PowerPoint and Isologica to correct and report data.
Work with the technical advisors to build a final interpretative report at the conclusion of the project. Send this report to the client and again answer questions that may arise in this process.
Has strong working knowledge of all geological data types and their relationship to elemental and mineralogical data (e.g., core description, thin section, SEM, CT);
Interprets XRF and ICP elemental data for chemostratigraphic and integrated petrology / sedimentology studies, with guidance from senior staff;
Interacts with clients during projects to assure their technical requirements are met;
Writes detailed reports for clients in a clear, concise manner, under direction of manager or senior staff;
Verbally presents results of studies to clients using PowerPoint and posters;
Uses elemental data to assist other WFT geologists, petrophysicists, and engineers in providing enhanced results for clients;
Attends local talks and professional conventions as appropriate.
Some travel involved. Mainly for sampling cores and presenting study results to clients.
Enrolls in required safety classes, and accepts personal responsibility for safety in the workplace. Follows all laws and regulations, and promptly reports incidents to the Safety Officer;
Attends mandatory in-house training or outside training relevant to professional development;
Demonstrates dependability and responsibility for company time and assets; maintains confidentiality.
SKILLS & KNOWLEDGE:
Must have very strong computer and organization skills.
Basic knowledge and understanding of petrology, mineralogy and elemental geochemistry.
B.S. in Geology.
The physical ability to immediately respond to emergency situations.
Preferred:
Strong knowledge and understanding of petrology, elemental geochemistry, chemostratigraphy, mineralogy, and sedimentology.
M.S. in Geology with thesis in elemental geochemistry or chemostratigraphy.
Self-starter; high level of motivation and willingness to follow through on tasks without excessive direction from supervisor; willingness to take the initiative after basic direction
