Learn more about and how we can .What role you will play in our teamWe are seeking a skilled pore pressure and/ or geomechanics specialist to support well planning and drilling operations through pore pressure, stress and strength analysis. The ideal candidate will have experience integrating multi-disciplinary data (mudlogging, drilling mechanics, laboratory tests and geophysical data) to develop robust pore pressure and/or geomechanical models (analytical and numerical) across various scales.What you will do

Develop offset well stick charts summarizing drilling outcomes, incorporating all relevant pressure and stress indicators.
Evaluate the response of rock physical properties (e.g., velocity, density, and resistivity) to changes in pressure, stress, and strength.
Integrate offset well data with available geological and geophysical information to generate well-specific 1D pre-drill pressure prognoses for efficient well planning. Provide real-time surveillance to support active drilling operations.
Integrate wellbore-specific pressure estimates with geological interpretations to identify sub-regional to basin-scale controls on pressure and stresses.
Preferred experience in 3D pore pressure and minimum stress models to support development well planning.
Review, quality check and analyze laboratory core test data (e.g., rock strength and mechanical properties) and able to integrate with well logs.
Conduct borehole enlargement studies using caliper, image logs, cross-dipole sonic, and focal mechanism data.
Integrate multi-disciplinary datasets to construct 1D geomechanical models for drilling and injection/production support.
Preferred experience in various scales of Geomechanical applications (wellbore stability, sanding, compaction/subsidence, fault slip, depletion/injection related studies)
Preferred experience in 1D/3D numerical model building to capture geological boundary conditions.
