About the Role
Nautilus Nigeria Engineering and Construction Limited is a leading provider of comprehensive engineering and project support services to the global oil and gas industry. We are currently looking for an experienced Petrophysicist III to join our dynamic onshore asset development team. In this pivotal role, you will lead high-quality petrophysical evaluations, supervise cost-effective logging programs, and collaborate closely with drilling and production teams to maximize reserve potential and drive successful monetization of discoveries.
Key Responsibilities- Prepare, supervise, and perform quality control on cost-effective logging programs including LWD/MWD, wireline, and core analysis.
- Conduct detailed petrophysical analyses to support static and dynamic subsurface models, delivering Computed Professional Interpretation (CPI) of log data.
- Evaluate hydrocarbon zones to determine critical petrophysical parameters such as porosity, water saturation, permeability, and net pay thickness.
- Integrate horizontal well data into static models and develop saturation height function models based on empirical data.
- Lead integrated subsurface studies, participate in peer reviews, and contribute to joint venture partner meetings.
- Mentor, coach, and provide technical guidance to Young Technical Professionals (YTPs) and trainee engineers.
- Ensure strict adherence to Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) policies and engineering standards across all operations.
- Bachelor's degree or higher in Petroleum Engineering, Geology, Geophysics, or a related geoscience discipline.
- Extensive proven experience in petrophysical evaluation within the upstream oil and gas sector, specifically focusing on onshore asset development.
- Strong proficiency in modern petrophysical software, log interpretation techniques, and core description analysis.
- Demonstrated leadership capabilities with prior experience mentoring junior staff or technical professionals.
- Comprehensive understanding of drilling operations, well-site geology, and reservoir fluid dynamics.
- Excellent communication, collaboration, and project management skills tailored for multidisciplinary engineering environments.
- Competitive salary package commensurate with industry experience.
- Comprehensive health insurance and medical coverage for employees and dependents.
- Opportunities for professional development, continuous technical training, and career progression.
- Collaborative and innovative work environment with exposure to high-impact oil and gas projects.
