The Role
We are seeking a mid-level Petrophysicist with strong experience in well log data management to support a large-scale project in Kuwait. This project emphases mainly on maintaining high-quality well logs data in a repository, preparing composite logs and the utilization of spliced logs in advanced geological workflows e.g., to estimate the Total Organic Carbon (TOC) from wireline logs using different methodologies etc. This key role is primarily focused on the management, quality control, conditioning, standardization, and maintenance of petrophysical datasets within AspenTech’s proprietary software for Formation Evaluation and Characterization (Aspen Geolog). This position is not intended for advanced reservoir characterization, formation evaluation, or interpretation studies. Candidates with experience in well log data management, data quality assurance, and digital transformation initiatives are encouraged to apply.
As a trusted advisor, you will work closely with the customers to understand their specific challenges and provide innovative solutions that drive long-term value and success. This position offers an exciting opportunity to make a direct and expressive impact on both the customers’ achievements and AspenTech’s continued growth in the region.
