Petrophysics Advisor

About the role

Halliburton is looking for a Petrophysics Advisor to provide expert technical leadership in formation evaluation, reservoir characterization and petrophysical analysis for an oil and gas asset managed under an Integrated Asset Management (IAM) contract. The role works under the broad direction of the Subsurface Technical Manager and covers well log analysis, reservoir modelling and technical oversight of logging operations.

Key responsibilities

• Develop and apply advanced formation evaluation techniques for large, challenging oil and gas field development projects.
• Analyse well logs, core and fluid data to determine porosity, permeability, water saturation and hydrocarbon volumes.
• Integrate wireline, LWD, core, SCAL, formation tests, RFT/MDT pressure tests, mini-fracs, DFIGT and geochemical data to build reservoir property models.
• Evaluate lithologies and fluid types, run multi-well and field-level studies for reservoir zonation and facies classification, and build petrophysical models for geological and reservoir simulation.
• Oversee logging operations (wireline and LWD) and post-job evaluations, and ensure data integrity and consistent workflows.
• Engage with senior management and stakeholders, take part in internal and external reviews, and mentor junior geoscientists.
• Promote best practices, digital tools and new techniques, and collaborate with other Halliburton petrophysical professionals.

Required profile

• Undergraduate degree in petroleum engineering, geology or applied sciences.
• At least 10 years of experience in petrophysical evaluation, including oil and gas operators, service companies or consulting firms.
• Field development and reservoir management experience on a producing field with an operator.
• Extensive experience in clastic and/or carbonate reservoirs; mature or brownfield assets preferred.

Required skills

• Solid petrophysics foundation and working knowledge of development geology, static modelling, geomechanics, geologic operations, directional drilling and drilling and completions.
• Well log interpretation and reservoir modelling.

The position is full time in Basra, Iraq (requisition 210427, engineering science and technology family, project management product service line). Compensation is described as competitive and commensurate with experience.
