Geophysicist

Roles and responsibilities

Plan, supervise, coordinate, and control the collection, analysis, and evaluation of Geophysical data for reservoirs studies to generate appropriate field development plans. Provide high level quality geophysical support for QatarEnergy Idd El-Shargi field and participate in interdisciplinary reservoir study teams. Collect, analyze, and evaluate geophysical data for well placement and perform geo-hazard analysis for well planning. Estimate the risk level using the geophysical data and contributes to well proposals/prognosis when needed.

Required Experience and Skills

Principal Accountabilities
- Perform detailed seismic interpretation and mapping of carbonate reservoirs architecture and hydrocarbon distribution for input to 3D geological models including seismic attributes and AVO analysis.
- Construct seismic velocity models and capable of carrying out different technics in time-depth conversion and /or quality check of velocity model building results.
- Provide steer to projects related to the acquisition, processing and reprocessing of seismic data by third parties.
- Monitor and supervise work compliance by Geophysical service providers and contractors and QA/QC Geophysical data such as seismic reprocessed data, 4D seismic reprocessed data and 3D VSP data of geophysical studies conducted by third parties.
- Perform a detailed geo-hazard analysis when needed for well planning using available seismic data and contribute to well proposals / prognosis.
- Recommend, plan, design and quality check the results from acquisition and processing of borehole seismic data: Zero offset VSP, 3D VSP and Offset VSP.
- Prepare work plans/schedules within limits defined by Heads.
- Develop Geophysical standards and workflows.
- Provide on-the-job coaching and development of Qatari staff.
