Operations (Operators, Engineers, Specialists, Geoscientists, Field Staff)Service LineJob TitleJob SummaryThe Data Engineers is the Excellence Logging representative responsible to ensure the service delivery process, at the wellsite, providing the contracted services and ensuring the mud logging unit, associated equipment and services are set up, maintained and managed according to Excellence Logging standards.The Data Engineer is responsible for all wellsite geological and surface drilling data and are the focal point of service company employees, drilling contractor crew and the customer; appraising and advising them of any operational event that has an effect on drilling or work-over operations. They evaluate activities and unexpected well behaviour to immediately report and minimise operational risks and environmental damage. They provide data interpretation and qualitative real time services using mud logging data.Role and ResponsibilitiesGeneral· For continual, 24hr coverage, the mud logging unit must always be occupied and fully operational. For acceptable breaks, of short duration, emergency repairs, meals etc. the customer must be aware of and have agreed to a nominal routine when a unit may have reduced crew present.· Job requirements are identified and communicated by the Operations Manager according to the Excellence Logging approved Service Delivery Plans (SDP). This includes both customer and regulatory requirements; operational conformity checks and customer satisfaction. Pre job briefing and debriefings must be given by Excellence Logging Operations Management and by the drilling contractor management during briefings and through daily pre-job task risk assessments (TRA).· Well State of Requirements (WSoR) for Mud Logging operations is identified and communicated by the customer's representatives.Safety· Be aware of safety regulations and procedures as specified by the Client, Excellence Logging, and relevant safety authorities, respect safety regulations in all circumstances.· Perform Local Risk Assessments to ensure that hazardous operations are minimized, controlled or procedures are put in place to minimize the hazardous nature of the operation. Ensure records are maintained for audit purposes.· Complete an Accident Near Miss investigation for every event as required.· Recommend improvements to the Safety Policies and Procedures especially when accidents or near misses show an evident necessity.· Ensure Clients and Crews are aware of Excellence Logging safety policies.· Perform Audit / Inspection of local operations as required.· Responsible in ensuring that all subordinates have and use all necessary Personal Protective Equipment (safety boots, gloves, hardhats, etc.). Ensure that all safety equipment in the mud logging unit is kept in good condition.Quality· Be aware of and implement all requirements of the Client's systems within the scope of operations. The major objective is to provide the best services in order to meet and / or surpass client satisfaction / expectations. Ensure that the quality directives are understood and implemented.· Ensure Clients at the rig-site are aware of Excellence Logging quality aims.· Use personal knowledge and well site experience to improve the quality of the mud logging service.· Ensure that all chemicals / substances are properly stored and labelled.· Ensure that there is no uncontrolled release of contaminants and pollutants into the environment due to procedures carried by the mud logging crew during the whole drilling process or stay onboard the rig. Drill cuttings and other hazardous chemicals / substances must be disposed in accordance with policies set by the Client and Excellence Logging.· Be aware of and implement all requirements stipulated by the Waste or Environmental Management Policies of both the Client and Excellence Logging. Ensure that junior members of the mud logging crew follow these guidelines.Geological Monitoring· Validate the mud log produced by the Mud Logger is comprehensive.· Use industry and Customer provided gas interpretation methods to evaluate the quality of reservoirs and source rocks.· Cross check Mud Logging data with seismic data, lagged LWD data or post drilling open hole logging data.· Perform gas sampling as required and monitor lag-time and validate corrections.Wellsite Monitoring· Accurately measure and record all drilling and static operations including hole enlarging, reaming, cementing, casing, bit or wiper trips, logging operations.· Perform close monitoring of gas levels, lag time, drilling fluids and drilling parameters and report any anticipated or observed anomalies to the appropriate persons for immediate action or for closer surveillance. Identify and report immediately all drilling hazards like kicks, well ballooning, stuck pipe, lost circulation, shallow water flows, mud losses, drilling breaks, etc.· Perform optimisation diagnostics on mechanical drilling parameters, well hydraulics to improve drilling efficiency and reduce catastrophic failure.· Cross check theoretical and actual mud returns correspond to expected well behaviour or surface activities.· Check depth, drilling and logged data against rig recorded data.· Confirm or adjust the formation pore pressure gradient estimates by analysing the Dxc along with other qualitative mud logging parameters like gas, flowline temperature, caving's etc. obtained during drilling. Confirm or adjust estimates of formation fracture gradient from well planning against values obtained during leak-off or well integrity tests.· Assist well site personnel determine the mud densities required for primary and secondary well control. Ensure primary well control by anticipating pressure imbalances.Reporting· Determine with operations and wellsite management teams the standard and emergency reporting process and procedures.· Manage the well database and ensure the quality and integrity of the well data annotating digital logs and records clearly and correctly and ensure confidentiality of any 'tight hole' requirements.· Ensure the design of computer-generated logs meets required specifications.· Submit accurate daily reports concerning geological and drilling parameters.· Ensure the unit diary, spare parts inventory, equipment status reports, calibration reports and other specified equipment monitoring reports are kept up to date and available for audits.· Perform or assist in correctly filling out of weekly, monthly, service activity and customer satisfaction reports and dispatch to Operations Manager by the first of the following month.· Maintain regular contact with the Operations Manager to report the current work situation and remedy any potential or ongoing non-conformances.· Prepare and submit the Final Well Report as per customer's specifications· Properly organise, file and dispatch reports, trip sheets, data, charts and plots for later use by customer according to SDP.Equipment· Perform and supervise rig-up and rig-down in a safe manner of the ML unit and all ML equipment conforming to the scope of work as directed by Operations Management.· Responsible for maintaining adequate equipment/stock inventory/consumables including calibration gases and hydrogen supply verifying validity dates.· Maintain and service all equipment and sensors according to standard operating procedures· Escalate to technical support items or services that cannot be put into service with a detailed report submitted to Operations Management or their support team.· Perform or supervise regular calibration checks, maintenance and necessary repairs on all equipment, particularly gas instruments to ensure correct functioning of data acquisition systems.· Propose to Operations Management innovative ideas for improvement of techniques or equipment used in the mud logging process.· Ensure customers are aware of services / techniques available to improve their operations.DegreeIdeally a technical or Bachelor education level. Preference is given to persons with an undergraduate degree in Engineering or an Earth Science or have the relevant knowledge or experience to perform the job.Years of experience8Knowledge- Demonstrated ability to work in a complex fast paced environment- Have a proven hands-on attitude, be agile and adaptable with good communication skills- Thorough grasp of basic petroleum geology; remaining aware of oil industry developments and having excellent computer skills.- Experience with Excellence Logging equipment and sensors is mandatory.- Ability to train and share local or wider industry experience with less experienced personnel.let us help you realize your operational, commercial and safety objectives.
