Consultant - Geophysicist

Purpose/Objective

The role involves executing and coordinating geophysical tasks such as wireline logging, data processing, and interpretation. Responsibilities include preparing and updating borehole geophysical data, collaborating with geologists and drilling engineers to design logging programs, and selecting suitable tools and techniques based on project goals. The position requires generating detailed reports with findings, interpretations, and recommendations from borehole logs. Proficiency in using the RG-Micro-logger geophysical unit is essential, along with expertise in Well Cad software for data processing and interpretation. Strong teamwork and technical skills are crucial for effective project execution and communication of geophysical insights.

Key Responsibilities of Role

1. Planning and preparing the borehole logging program involving selecting proper logging tools and techniques based on the geological objectives and available equipment. 2. Conducting fieldwork at drilling sites to supervise the deployment of logging tools and ensure the accurate acquisition of geophysical data mainly wireline logging data. 3. Analyzing and interpreting the acquired geophysical data to identify subsurface formations, lithology, fluid content, and other relevant parameters. 4. Preparing detailed reports summarizing the findings, interpretations, and recommendations based on the borehole logging results. 5. Liaising with statutory authorities for obtaining/ periodic renewal of license(s) for safe storage, operation, maintenance of radioactive source and geophysical tools. 6. Organize and coordinate other geophysical surveys, e.g. seismic survey, electrical resistivity, magnetic survey, etc. as and when required at various sites. 7. Carrying out periodic maintenance/ calibration of geophysical equipment. 8. Staying updated with advancements in geophysical exploration techniques, borehole logging technologies, data processing techniques, and industry best practices. 9. Management of geophysical database. 10. Technical due diligence for coal and mineral properties
