Well Site Geologis

Position Overview:

This position reports to the Lead Wellsite Geologist and requires close coordination with 2 onsite geologists, 2 sample catchers, and technical teams based in Calgary and Uzbekistan.

Key Responsibilities:

• Supervise and document all geological events during drilling operations

• Ensure drilling follows the well plan and communicate deviations with the Calgary team

• Real-time monitoring of drilling parameters, gas readings, and lithology

• Operate and maintain gas trap/agitation and gas analysis systems; perform gas injectivity tests

• Identify and evaluate mud losses, kicks, torque, WOB, and other drilling anomalies

• Perform cuttings description, including lag time calculation and hydrocarbon shows evaluation

• Apply Dunham’s classification system for carbonates; visually assess porosity/permeability

• Collect, label, and store cutting samples accurately

• Monitor lithological changes to identify stratigraphic tops and casing points (based on correlation with offset wells)

• Supervise core points, core cutting, tripping, surface handling, labeling, packing, and sealing for transport

• Oversee directional drilling and LWD/MWD operations; ensure data quality

• Monitor wireline logging activities and provide quality control oversight

• Submit daily geological reports and final well reports in a timely and accurate manner

Requirements:

• Minimum 10 years of experience in drilling operations, exploration, or development wells (vertical, deviated, horizontal)

• Solid experience in:

  • Cuttings analysis and lithological descriptions

  • Hydrocarbon show evaluation

  • Core handling and macro description

  • Wireline logging QC

  • Casing point identification and cementing

• Experience working with depleted reservoirs is highly preferred

• Knowledge of directional drilling and geosteering techniques

• Familiarity with MWD/LWD tools and data interpretation

Languages:

• English — Required (fluent in speaking, reading, writing)

• Uzbek — Preferred

• Russian — Preferred
