About The Position

Chevron ENGINE is looking for accomplished Technical Petrophysicist candidates to join our Earth Science team

The role involves providing unique petrophysical interpretation products to support asset teams and collaborating with application developers to improve analysis tools and workflows for Chevron's global community

The work spans various development environments, including offshore, onshore, conventional, and unconventional settings, from exploration to development

The ideal candidate will effectively communicate with both the asset and research and development (R&D) teams to achieve technical objectives and meet deadlines.

Key Responsibilities



Utilize Techlog to provide in-depth and technically robust multi-well petrophysical analyses, covering a broad spectrum of situations ranging from exploration to detailed field evaluations

Collaborate with R&D and application developers to improve existing analysis tools in Techlog and create new workflows using Python and other programming languages

Stay current with recommended logging tools and technologies to tackle intricate reservoir characterization issues, and periodically provide support for real-time and newly drilled wells

Continuous collaboration with asset and exploration teams globally, delivering clear communication, prompt assistance, and expert knowledge

Required Qualifications

BS or MSc degree in Earth Science or Petroleum Engineering from a deemed/recognised (AICTE) university

At least 10 years of industry experience specializing in petrophysical interpretation

Expertise in numerous industry-standard techniques for log evaluation, core and log integration, mineralogy analysis, shaly sands, and saturation height functions

Deep knowledge of processing and quality control workflows for wireline and LWD (logging while drilling) tools across multiple vendors (Sonic, NMR, image, formation testing) and ability to apply this knowledge to both new wells and legacy data

Strong proficiency in developing and implementing petrophysical workflows using Techlog or similar petrophysical analysis software

Ability to create, apply, and quality control probabilistic interpretations (QuantiElan, Multimin or equivalent) in multiple reservoir types and basins

Adhere to global petrophysical standards and data management practices; contribute to and support data management initiatives

Understanding of physical processes associated with earth science, reservoir modeling and subsurface

Strong verbal and written communication skills, and the ability to collaborate efficiently within a team

SLB Techlog software- interpretation, analysis, and data management is preferred

Skills of using ML/AI to accelerate performance and accuracy of reservoir characterization is preferred

Experience in all or some of the following subspecialities are desirable:shale and tight/unconventional resource assessment, carbon capture assessment/monitoring, formation testing, geothermal and/ or acoustic rock properties analysis is preferred

Experience across various basins and reservoir types
