CURRENT EMPLOYEES - Please apply using "Jobs Hub" in Workday. This career site is for external applicants only.
The petrophysicist will be tasked to provide detailed well log analysis for Diamondback's asset appraisal and development, Permian Basin assessment, and any business development efforts. The successful candidate will be expected to generate and implement modern petrophysical workflows for unconventional and conventional reservoirs. The candidate should be skilled in data acquisition management, tool theory/specifications/limitations, and core analysis. Finally, the candidate will work closely with geoscience and engineering staff to arrive at proper regional and asset level decisions that generate value for Diamondback.
Key Responsibilities
- Properly build and implement petrophysical workflows that elicit rock properties to inform volumetric evaluations and resource characterization.
- Tasked with data program recommendations, coordination, and implementation. This may require some field visits to oversee high resolution, multi-run, wireline logging and coring projects.
- Integrate well logs with core, production, and reservoir data to develop accurate formation interpretations.
- Provide asset teams with petrophysical support and collaborate with them to high-grade targets that will deliver high return on investment.
- Assist in basin-wide assessment efforts by generating and presenting high-quality interpretations and recommendations.
- Provide realtime petrophysical support during drilling, including MWD/LWD QC, well disposition, and operational recommendations.
- Integrate petrophysical and geomechanical properties to support completion design, frac staging, and horizontal targeting.
- Planning and supervising complex multirun formation evaluation programs, including coring, special logs, and highresolution passes.
- Generate petrophysical models compatible with reservoir simulation workflows, including saturationheight models and rocktyping.
- Lead endtoend data QA/QC including log editing, environmental corrections, core data reconciliation, and data governance standards.
Qualifications
- Minimum of 5 years petrophysical experience
- A Bachelor's degree in Geoscience/Engineering/Mathematics/Physics is required. A Master's degree or Doctorate in any of the previous subject matter is desired.
- Experience in the Permian Basin
- Resource play knowledge and experience
- Expertise in petrophysical techniques and workflows with understanding of current technologies to provide guidance to team.
- Experience in unconventional petrophysical assessments
- Experience integrating multisensor logs (e.g., NMR, dielectric, spectroscopy, sonic) to refine mineralogy, pore structure, and mechanical rock properties.
Preferred Attributes
- 8+ years preferred for senior staff level
- Proficiency in multiple petrophysical and geologic platforms such as Interactive Petrophysics, Petra, Kingdom, Petrel, Techlog, and cloudbased data systems; familiarity with data science tools is a plus.
- Petrophysical workstation experience, Interactive Petrophysics strongly preferred.
- Have awareness of other aspects of the business inclusive of drilling, completions, operations, reservoir, land, and regulatory to help assist team to find efficiencies and foster better communication company-wide.
