Operations Geologist

Key Responsibilities Supervise geological operations of a rig for exploration, appraisal, and development wells on a daily basis. Oversee well preparation, operations and acquisition program follow-up, coordination and supervision of contracted services and performances, real-time data QA/QC, and basic real-time petrophysical interpretation and post-well analysis. Actively contribute to well preparation processes, including document preparation and coordination with other teams, especially for preliminary/prognosis pore pressure profiles and data acquisition programs. Ensure strict application and respect of HSE rules and procedures, participate in safety systems, and report all incidents, accidents, or potentially dangerous situations observed. Maintain updated HSE and medical certificates and complete all required HSE trainings. Participate in safety culture development within the operational team onshore and offshore. Contribute to the implementation, integration, and interpretation of real-time detection techniques for operational safety. Co-organize risk assessments, pre-job meetings, and review procedures, especially for specific operations. Collect and share safety alerts, incidents, and accident reports from offshore crews and service companies. Conduct HSE and technical annual visits/audits on service companies' units (offshore) and bases (onshore). Supervise geological operations for one rig, occasionally two, from office and occasionally onsite. Prepare, follow up, and perform post-well studies/reports of complex wells, including HP/HT wells and those with narrow drilling windows. Work in a multidisciplinary and multicultural context, ensuring strict containment of acquisition costs through good preparation and flawless execution. Requirements Education: Master's degree or equivalent (Level 7). Experience: At least 3-5 years in operations geology, with at least 2 years as a wellsite geologist. Deep offshore drilling experience, including HPHT and complex wells, required. Technical Skills:Well/pad planning High-level real-time monitoring of operations Formation evaluation and interpretation Advanced geosteering capability Pore pressure and geomechanics understanding Robust data acquisition planning for LWD, wireline, and sampling programs High-quality geological reporting Operational risk and uncertainty management Technical oversight of service companies Digital systems competence REX elaboration and communication Behavioural Competencies:Clear and authoritative communication High situational awareness Decisive judgement under uncertainty Cross-disciplinary coordination Analytical problem solving Effective stakeholder management Adaptability to operational changes Time management Supportive coaching mindset Proactivity Language Skills: Fluent in English (French and Portuguese are an advantage). Certification: Certification degree in the supervision of Operations Geology as per relevant requirements. Specific Knowledge:Wireline logging physics and use Logging while drilling physics and use (open hole and cased hole) Mudlogging physics and use Pore pressure principles and estimation Deep offshore drilling technologies Petrophysical formation evaluation Contract management and invoicing
