About bp

The bp Technical Solutions India (TSI) centre in Pune aims to build on bp’s existing engineering and technical strengths, to deliver high quality services to its hydrocarbons and new energy businesses worldwide. TSI brings together diverse engineering capability to provide technical services across a range of areas including engineering, maintenance, optimization, data processes, projects and subsurface, to deliver safe, affordable and lower emission energy, while continuously innovating how we work. Global Subsurface Solutions (GSS) delivers high-quality, high impact, subsurface technical products to address prioritised business challenges across bp’s Production and Operations (P&O) organisation.

About the role

Global Subsurface Solutions (GSS) delivers quality, impactful, subsurface technical products to address critical business challenges across bp’s oil, gas, and low carbon businesses. As a bp TSI petrophysicist you will support prioritised well planning, resource progression and low carbon opportunities across bp’s global portfolio. Communication of subsurface uncertainty and risk, and the ability to integrate deeply with other disciplines, will be key to your success.

What you will deliver

Analyse and integrate available well data to define the rock and fluid frameworks that underpin integrated subsurface products.
Describe petrophysical uncertainty and alternative scenarios at the well- and reservoir-scale, and communicate their impact effectively.
Make recommendations on data acquisition plans.
Become an active member of bp’s petrophysics community, learning from (and sharing) best practice, and seeking to innovate to solve technical and business problems.

What you will need to be successful

Must have educational qualifications:

Advanced Degree (MA, MSc or PhD) in geology, geophysics, reservoir engineering or relevant science-based educational curriculum.

Minimum years of relevant experience:

At least 5 years of experience as a petrophysicist in an integrated oil and gas company, or with a service provider.

Must have experience/skills:

Excellent reservoir characterization and log interpretation skills (using open hole logs, core, pressures and fluid data, mudlogs/lithlogs, and any available dynamic data).
Comfortable working with large datasets and taking a pragmatic approach to analysis.
Familiarity with both the latest wireline / LWD tools and vintage tools.
Integration of petrophysical products with geological models/scenarios.
Highly proficient in a well log interpretation package, ideally Techlog.
Self-motivated, analytical and resourceful, with a strong ability and desire to collaborate and integrate across disciplines.
Proficient in spoken and written English.

Good to have experiences/skills:

Cased hole log interpretation and integration.
Spotfire / PowerBI-style data visualisation.
Experience using Petrel.
Computer programming (ideally in Python) including statistical methods, machine learning and data analytics.
