Doha, Qatar QatarEnergy Full time

**Primary Purpose of the Job**:
Primary Purpose of the Job
Plan, supervise, coordinate, and control the collection, processing, analysis and evaluation of geophysical data for well and reservoir studies to generate the geophysical input for field development plans. Provide geophysical support for QatarEnergy fields and conduct reservoir management activities in interdisciplinary reservoir study teams. Review/interpret subsurface data and generate optimized drillable well locations and well proposals and influence well operations. Develop and mentor less experienced staff. Review technical work performed by less experienced geophysicists.
Principal Accountabilities
- Plan and supervise the acquisition, processing, analyses/interpretation of geophysical data.
- Use geophysical, geological and petrophysical data to determine presence, quality and type of hydrocarbons, fluid contacts, rock matrix constituents and properties from wells and seismic for updating geological models, steering well profiles and for integrated reservoir/field development studies.
- Supervise and develop geophysical descriptions of formations, characterize hydrocarbon reservoirs and build models for reservoir simulation and field development planning.
- Plan and develop geophysical inputs into full life cycle field development activities, and influence management decisions on drilling and development strategies.
- Assess drilling hazards and recommend mitigation strategies for safe operations.
- Initiate and co-ordinate in-house, laboratory, and specialist consultant activities within the discipline and support planning and identification of new drilling locations and subsurface targets for producers/injectors/observers to optimize field development.
- Deliver the geophysical contribution to field-wide hydrocarbon reservoir studies related to field performance and development.
- Advise and follow up on drilling operations and use the drilling results to improve and update the geophysical models.
- Review and participate in evaluating STOIIP and update geological models periodically as a result of ongoing drilling, production depletion and test data analyses. Incorporate findings into Annual Review of Reserves and review updates as necessary.
- Coordinate and manage seismic acquisition, processing, and reservoir geophysics contracts.
- Plan and lead on-the job coaching and development of junior staff in the discipline.

Decision Making Authority
- Operates within the broad guidelines established by the team Head, taking responsibility for their actions and their outcomes. Requires mínimal oversight from the team Head.
