Job Description:

Overview:
Our client has exploration, development, production and marketing activities in more than a dozen countries around the globe. They have a significant deepwater position in the Gulf of Mexico, as well as operations in Australia, the United Kingdom, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. The company's regional headquarters are located in Houston, Texas, where the position will be located. We are searching for a Pore Pressure Specialist to join a small technical team focusing on initially the company's GOM assets but transitioning into the entire portfolio of assets. This position would report to the very top of senior management. The Pore Pressure Specialist will work within the Geomechanics group as a world-wide resource for the detection, quantification, and characterization of pressure and stress in a variety of basins within the company's portfolio.
The candidate is expected to have skills in pore pressure characterization that spans the exploration, development and drilling phases.
Specific Skills Required:
1D detection of pressure from typical well log measurements of resistivity, sonic, or density
• Seismic detection of overpressure using interval velocities at the 1D through 3D scale
• Integration of direct pressure measurements from formation testers, piezoprobes, and build-up tests with log and seismic estimates
• Integration of drilling parameters such as mudweight, frac-gradient, kicks, stuck pipe, etc. with
pressure estimates from a variety of sources
• Integration of all pore pressure and stress information for determining regional seal capacity and charge risks
• Characterization of specific drilling hazards such as shallow-sand overpressures, gas hydrates, and depleted intervals
• Knowledge of wellbore stability and geomechanics used in the well construction process
• Exposure to basin modeling as an additional tool in the characterization of regional pore pressure
Individuals with specific experience of providing pore pressure inputs into the exploration and drilling of Deepwater Gulf of Mexico prospects are preferred. Experience in practicing pore pressure prediction in a variety of onshore and offshore environments would also be beneficial. Ideally, the candidate should have an understanding of how seismic velocities are processed prior to use within the pore pressure workflow. Additional knowledge of specific wellbore stability prediction workflows would also be beneficial. This position will include an above market base, sign-on, annual cash bonus, and one of the best industry equity packages.
