Senior Operations Geologist / Madrid -------------- MIDAD Energy is seeking a Senior Operations Geologist based in Madrid to provide real-time geological support for our North Africa projects (Algeria, Libya, etc.). This role is responsible for well planning, drilling operations support, formation evaluation, and reservoir monitoring to ensure safe, efficient, and geologically sound operations. The ideal candidate will have extensive experience in North African basins, a strong background in operations geology, wellsite supervision, and reservoir surveillance, and the ability to collaborate with drilling, production, and subsurface teams to optimize field performance. com) with the subject: "Senior Operations Geologist – Madrid ". Well Planning & Drilling Support Provide geological input for well planning, including trajectory design, casing points, and target selection. Develop prognosed sections, offset well analyses, and geological hazard assessments for North African fields. Collaborate with drilling engineers to optimize well placement and mitigate geological risks. Real-Time Operations Geology Monitor real-time drilling data (LWD, MWD, cuttings, gas shows) to provide geosteering recommendations and formation evaluations. Conduct wellsite geological supervision (when required) to ensure accurate formation tops, lithology descriptions, and sample collection. Interpret LWD/MWD logs, cuttings, and gas data to identify formation tops, fluid contacts, and reservoir quality. Supervise coring operations and ensure proper handling, description, and analysis of core samples. Integrate real-time data with offset well information to refine geological models. Reservoir Surveillance & Monitoring Monitor reservoir performance through production data, well tests, and surveillance programs. Collaborate with reservoir engineers and petrophysicists to update geological models based on new well data. Support well intervention planning by providing geological insights on reservoir connectivity and well integrity. Data Integration & Reporting Compile and analyze well data, logs, and reports to update geological databases and models. Work closely with subsurface teams (geophysicists, petrophysicists, reservoir engineers) to integrate operations data into static and dynamic models. Ensure geological operations comply with local regulations (e.g., Mentor junior geologists and operations staff in best practices for operations geology. Conduct training sessions on geological operations, wellsite data interpretation, and risk mitigation. Promote knowledge sharing and continuous improvement in operations geology practices.
