Overview:
The Operations Geologist is responsible for the planning and execution of ExxonMobil’s drill-wells world-wide. To accomplish this the Operations Geologist must be competent in Well Planning and Surveillance, Integrated Pressure Prediction and Site Investigation; understanding key deliverables such as a Tophole Prognosis, Pore-Pressure Prediction, and completed well-design. Key to the successful drilling of a well is close communication with the Business Unit (Geoscience, Reservoir Engineers), Petrophysicist, and Wells Engineers throughout the design and execution phases of the project, hence the Operations Geologist must be a good communicator, Integrator and be highly organized effectively changing tact as conditions dictate. Proactive, flexible, and creative (“out of the box”) thinking while driving updated Well Planning Process for deepwater wells/activities. Evaluating multiple
scenarios and ensuring close communication between all parties involved whilst managing expectations to ensure a safe, timely and economic completion of the drilling program meeting all geologic and operational objectives.
Tasks and Responsibilities:
- Demonstrate Safety leadership and uphold ExxonMobil’s Safety culture ensuring No Spills and Nobody Gets Hurt.
- Strong understanding of Integrated Pore Pressure Prediction and Surveillance
- Strong understanding of Site Investigation including Shallow Drilling Hazards Evaluation (tophole prognosis) and riserless drilling geohazards
- Well Planning and Surveillance (may include but not limited to):
- Coordinate with the Wells organization and the project Petrophysicist in the contract technical evaluation for MWD/LWD, Wireline, and Mud Logging services (Procurement & Tendering)
- Compile and document Well Objectives, Formation Evaluation plan, operations & communication protocols, and data/sample distribution into a Geological Program
- Compile well and evaluation plan information in support of Company Regulatory groups (Regulatory)
- Participate/lead regular coordination and planning meetings with the Wells Engineering and Geoscience Teams
- Facilitate and communicate with Wells Engineers and project Geologists to produce a well plan and casing design which will enable complete evaluation of geologic objectives whilst maintaining an economic and cost-effective solution
- Design and establishment of casing seat and TD selection protocols, coring and formation evaluation programs.
- Capture lessons learned for future operational improvements
- Compile and distribute final well reports, logs, and supporting documents to all parties in a timely fashion.

- Experience with basic FE interpretation for identifying rock type, fluid type, borehole conditions, etc.
- Experience utilizing azimuthal ultra-deep resistivity (AUDR) for geosteering deepwater highly directional/deviated wells
- Experience with managed pressure drilling (MPD) practices
- Experience with production drilling environments and challenges, i.e. depleted sand, wellbore stability, fluid type uncertainty and etc.
- Experience with directional drilling, well planning, depth control measurements; and understanding of BHA's (Bottom Hole Assembly)
