Petrophysics Manager - Houston, TX We are seeking a highly skilled Petrophysicist that has worked multiple basins to apply subject matter expertise to carbon sequestration projects in feasibility and development stages. The desired applicant also has rock mechanics subject matter expertise. This role fits within a multidisciplinary subsurface sequestration development team. Essential Duties and Responsibilities: 

• Subject matter expertise of core retrieval/ handling and design/ evaluation of conventional and special core analysis programs including routine core analysis, capillary pressure, relative permeability, geomechanics, formation damage, etc.
• Expert knowledge of conventional rock petrophysical workflows including calculating clay volumes, lithologies, saturations, porosities, permeabilities, flow units, etc. 
• Expert knowledge of seal rock evaluation including lithologies, threshold entry pressures, clay volumetrics, fracture analyses, seal integrity, etc. 
• Expert knowledge of petrophysical workflows including deterministic and multi-mineral models with the ability to critically think and appropriately apply workflows for the rock and data.
• Expert level knowledge of old log and core data reports and comfort producing petrophysical models with vintage data sets. 
• Expert level knowledge and interpretation methods of advanced logging tools including NMR, Dielectric, Dipole Sonic, Image Logs, Neutron Spectroscopy, etc. 
• Expert level knowledge of cased hole logs, including pulsed neutron logs, saturation logs, cement bond logs, etc..
• Expert knowledge of image logs including resistivity and acoustic with the ability to process, interpret, and integrate the logs. 
• Expert level knowledge of formation testing including design of the tests and interpretation; experience running tools such as the MDT is a plus. 
• Rock mechanics, fluid substitution, and pore pressure subject matter expertise is required.
• Mud Logging expertise is required. 
• Experience working with a reservoir management team including geoscientists, reservoir engineers, geophysicists, operations engineers, drilling engineers, and other technical staff.
• Experience working fields on injection such as waterfloods and steam floods; experience with CO2 floods is a plus.
• Experience with well operations and making quick decisions including recommending tool changes; experience with Thru-Bit, Shuttle, Cased Hole, and Cordax a plus.
• Experience working with vendors to design well log programs including tool selection, placement, and operating parameters.
