CORE SERVICES OF WELLSITE AND OPERATIONS GEOLOGY

OPERATIONS GEOLOGIST:
He is skilful in monitoring operated and non-operated wells whilst at the same time being fully conversant with effective partner reporting and liaison techniques.
He is equally proficient in preparing pre-well documents such as well programmes, tender documents, reporting procedures and decision tree planning schematics. Routine post well documentation includes end-of-well reports and completion logs.
He is covering all aspects of well planning such as preparation and production of drilling programmes, and all pre-spud activities, follow-up during the drilling phase and post-drilling activities.

Responsibilities:
Preplanning:
1. Well Programming. Coordinate with Drilling, Geology & Petrophysics Departments to produce a Geological Well Plan, including geological prognosis, sampling program & formation evaluation services (wireline logging, etc.)
2. Organize bidding processes (if required) for all formation evaluation services (mudlogging/gas detection, wireline logging, coring, well-site geology, etc.)
3. Well planning. Coordinate with the geology and drilling departments, and with service companies- particularly important for horizontal and foothills wells.
4. Evaluation or studies of all geological conditions that may cause drilling problems. Ensure that drilling and geology departments are aware of these hazards for incorporation into the overall well planning process.
5. Communication with partners & government as required.
6. Safety. Ensure that government and company safety and environmental policies are followed. Especially important on critical sour wells.
7. Advise the geology department on suitable services and technologies for a given project.
DRILLING PHASE:
1. Liaison, communication and logistical support between the field and the drilling and geological departments. Ensure that project geologist is involved.
2. Field operations support (formation evaluation) - including possible rig visits during critical logging and coring operations (time permitting.)
3. Tight holes. Instigate tight hole communication procedures as required. This includes encryption software, tight hole communications procedures, etc. Ensure that all data is kept confidential.
4. Co-ordinate field reporting (morning reports) and distribution of reports and geological data to project geologists/partners and governments.
5. After hours support. On call duties as required. 24/7 service.
6. Evaluation & communication to the project geologist, petrophysicist & drilling dept of the hole conditions and their effect on the geological data such as: 1) rugose hole, 2) oil based mud, 3) barite and mud invasion, 4) abundant pyrite in the formation, 5) fractures and how these conditions effect wireline log, mudlog & sample interpretation.
7. Communicate with the drilling department to ensure formation evaluation services are within budget.
8. Co-ordinate with the drilling department regarding the movement of service company personnel and equipment.
9. Safety. Ensure that all company safety procedures are communicated to and adhered to by field service personnel. For example, instigate safe working alone practices, such as alerts from all wellsite geologists when they depart for/from wellsite.
POST DRILL PHASE:
1. Organise distribution of data to project geologists, partners & government. Drill cuttings, well reports, wireline logs, etc.
2. Organise drill cuttings & core analysis if required. Coordinate with project geologist.
3. Management of all geological field data. Ensure correct data compilation and storage into well management files and digital database.
4. Assist project geologist in all areas of formation evaluation, including samples, wireline logging, mudlog/gas detection interpretation and sidewall cores etc.
5. Assist Drilling Dept. in well post-mortem to help improve procedures, well costs & safety performance.
6. Ensure accurate billing from service companies. Coordinate with Accounting Dept.
7. Project accounting. Ensure that all Geological Operations Coordinator (GOC) costs are assigned to the correct project. Any valid costs for the GOC can then be passed on to partners. (This should ensure a sizeable cost recovery for the GOC.)

WELL SITE GEOLOGY SERVICES
