JRE38499
Job Description:
Perform reservoir characterization and development geology duties and contribute to the field development
plans including drilling. Perform Geological studies including log-to-core integration, core description,
mapping, sequence stratigraphy, and conceptual geological modeling. Participate to the well drilling program.
So, candidate should be familiar with reservoir characterization and development geology duties and
understand all implications of operational drilling activities. Should have experience with the geological
aspects of reservoir characterization and able to perform Geological studies that include log-to-core
integration, core description, mapping, sequence stratigraphy, and conceptual geological modeling.
Experience with the drilling of development wells, including well planning, monitoring geosteered horizontal
wells, and post-drilling analysis, is desired. Knowledge of Landmark applications is highly desired.
Job Requirements:
Applicants should have:

Good morning everybody, my self tusarkanta samantaray. i belong to the state of odisha, for the last sevel
years i have been staying near the city of Ahmedabad, India. I am married and have a seven month baby. As
far as my other family member is concerned, i have father, mother, one brother and one sister.
I have done my masters in Applied Geology form Indian School of Mines, Dhanbad during the year 2007. Since
then i have been associated with Gujarat State Petroleum Corporation as Geologist.
During first one year of my professional career i was working as a well site Geologist in the onshore Blocks of
cambay Basin Gujarat. I have attainded almost 10 well sides which includes exploration, appraisal as well as
development wells also vertical and deviated wells. Major activities that i was involved in the well sites is
following instruction as per the well proposal and GTO / from the base office, drill cutting description,
hydrocarbon show description, preparation of Mud log, attaining wireline logging, coring operation,
preparation of daily geological reports, quick look interpretation, picking the casing shoe point, coring point
and pressure test points, preparation of well completion report. In addition to this i was thoroughly involved in
all the drilling operations during different phases of the well progress.
Afterwards, for the last six years i have been associated with Post Discovery Maturation studies starting from
Appraisal into the Development Activity/Planning in Onshore Cambay Basin of Gujarat, India. My Key activity
includes Reservoir Description and modeling.
Till now i have been associated with reservoir characterization of 11 Discoveries made in two distinct clastic
reservoirs namely Mid Eocene Kalol Reservoir and Lr Eocene Intra Cambay Formation in Cambay Basin.
Key evaluation/interpretation carried out by me before carring out modeling the reservoir during the of the
discoveries includes
1.

Picking of major and minor well markers at the reservoir , facies identification and classification by
integrating wire-line log, master log and core data. QC the interpreted log (vshale, phi and Sw) with
the basic log and core data in order to input into the model.
2. Associated with the Geophysicist to finalize the interpreted horizon and faults, attribute analysis at
the reservoir level.
3. Build a conceptual Geological model based on the available interpreted seismic and well data before
going for model building.
During Reservoir Static modeling also, i have been carried out all the procedures that includes
4. Identifying AOI, Building a comprehensive structural model of the reservoir by incorporating available
horizons and faults, well markers.
5. Finalize the zonation and layering based on the heterogeneity at the well level.
6. upscaling and data analysis the facies and interpreted logs in order to incorporate into modeling.
7. Modeling facies and petrophysical properties
8. Calculation of inplace and generation of several type of maps at reservoir level.
My second Key Performance Area includes Pre-Development and Development Preparation I have also been associated with preparation of the Pre-Development and Development Plan reports of the
discoveries by necessary technical conversation/ integaration of studies from Reservoir engineer, Production
and economic analysis team. Till now i have prepared 4 pre-developmet and 5 development plans for further
approval from the govt authority and further implementation for taking production from the field.
My third KPA includes Reserve Estimation and Uncertainty Analysis
I am involved in hydrocarbon resource and reserve estimates during various stages of projects starting from
Exploration into Appraisal and development phase. It includes both deterministic as well as probabilistic
analysis as a part of scenario building under low, best and high cases.
Resource Reserve Categorization

I have been associated with Archiving, analyzing and reporting the reserve port folio for onshore blocks. The
input for all the fields are from integration of in-house reports and third party competent authority report.
I have done the Project status category of 11 oil Filelds and 4 onshore blocks . Also associated with the
resource reserve classification into prospective resource, contingent resource and reserve types based on their
commerciality and uncertainty ranges.
Seismic Interpretation through structural mapping
I have also been involved in data loading, horizon/fault picking, mapping of structure, seismo-geological
sections and attributes.

QUESTIONS TO ASK
1. what do you most enjoy about your work with the organization.
2. how will my leadership responsibilities and performance be measured? by whom?
3. what are company's policy on providing seminars, workshops and trainings so employ can keep up
their skills to acquire new ones.
