SENIOR LOGGING GEOLOGIST-SURFACE LOGGING SYSTEMS
Basic Function:
Senior Mud Loggers ensure efficiency, safety and cost control by providing the Client Company with a detailed analytical record of the geology, oil and gas shows, drilling and mud parameters, and related problems encountered during drilling and completion.
The primary objective of mud logging is to assist in the efficient completion of oil and gas wells.
Duties, Responsibilities & Accountabilities:
The following illustrates the general responsibilities of a Senior Mud Loggers with respect to rig site duties.
Planning - Organization - Control
To ensure that suitably qualified International Logging personnel are always present in the Mud Logging unit during all well operations.
Sales
Promote new techniques and activities in order to increase potential markets and stay ahead of competition. Be aware of WFT capabilities and ensure client in the field is made aware of potential services/techniques.
Operations
Geological Monitoring.
The scope of work for each operator may vary significantly, and the individual job responsibilities vary as a result. The following is a generalized outline of core responsibilities that are to be provided as a base level on ALL contracts.
Perform or supervise the collection of cuttings samples, from the proper lagged depths and at the proper intervals as required for evaluation.
Gas and Drilling Parameters
Wash and screen samples, divide them into correct portions, and pack them by sets for the Client, partners and trade.
Examine and describe samples as per oil industry standards and client?s specifications. Descriptions are to be performed in order for WFT to provide an independent evaluation of the well.
Evaluate all samples for the presence of hydrocarbon shows.
Closely monitor gas levels, lag time and drilling parameters, and report any anomalies to the appropriate persons for action.
Monitor and evaluate all data in order to identify abnormal indications of unforeseen or hazardous events, inform the relevant drilling personnel of potential dangers, indications of drilling assembly wear/failure, etc.
Assist in core recovery and description as required.
Assist in well test operations and sampling as required.
Assist the client in the control of drilling operations by inputting geological information to the best of the operators ability
Education & Training
:
A. Mud logger is required to have
:
A minimum of a Bachelors Degree in Geology (BSc.), Petroleum Geology or Petroleum Engineering from a recognized University.
Have completed the following internal training :
Day Basic Oilfield Familiarization Course
5 Day Basic Hardware Maintenance Courses.
B. Technical Requirements
Good communication skills, a thorough grasp of basic petroleum geology and excellent computer skills will have been demonstrated. Some experience with mechanical equipment would be seen as an advantage but is not mandatory.
Experience
:
The Mud logger shall have completed at least days offshore experience as either a trainee, working with Senior Loggers or Data Engineers or sample catching on a job with sufficient time to grasp the fundamental aspects of the job. Initial ?Stand-alone? work experience will be performed only on jobs with a crew comprising Mud loggers and data engineers.
