Core duties and responsibilities:
 Real time geological surveillance and interpretation, integrated to drilling:

• Monitor and interpret cuttings, mud gas, LWD/MWD, and wireline data in real time

- Identify formation tops, lithology changes, and hydrocarbon shows

• Correlate actual geology with pre-drill models and seismic prognosis

- Detect abnormal pressures, faults, and drilling hazards (e.g. overpressure, instability, lost circulation, gas kicks)

• Guide trajectory adjustments to stay within target reservoir zones

- Call phase TD and well TD when geologically stablished. Recommend for casing setting depths.

• Call coring point.

- Optimise rate of penetration vs geology and real time acquisition sampling rate compliance for logs.
 Anticipation and supervision (equipment, personnel, activity, NPT) of services companies and operations under geoscience perimeter.

• Mud logging

- Wire line and LWD

• Coring

- Perform Audits, anticipate needs, follow up.

• Execute the corresponding acquisitions programs related to each.

- Ensure the data quality, completeness and integration.

• Samples handling and shipping (gas, cutting, mud, cores, rotary side wall cores, fluids samples from Wire line and DST, etc).

 HSE

• Participate in risk assessments, safety meetings, stop card program and incident reporting.

- Ensure compliance with HSE standards and offshore regulations, for himself and the companies under his/her perimeter.
 Communication and reporting

• Act as primary geological authority on the rig.

- Provide properly and on time all the data files and reports (daily geological reports, end of well reports, Retour experience, presentations, real time and memory data, etc).

• Give instructions and supervise the service companies under his/her perimeter.

- Coordinate between drilling team offshore, Subsurface team onshore and service companies under his/her perimeter and related.

• Lead and mentor junior wellsite geologist and trainees.

- Participate in pre-drill planning and post-well reviews.

• Contribute to the continuous improvement of the best practices and Standard Operation Procedures.

- Attend and intervene in all required meetings.

• Follow the instruction given by his/her supervisor (Operation Geologist, SUB Operation Manager) and comply with the programs (Drilling, Well location report, Coring program, Loggin program, SOP, etc)
