Role Synopsis
Baker Hughes Dhahran Global Technology Center Saudi Arabia is seeking to add a Petrophysics Research Scientist in our Unconventional Geoscience group. Baker Hughes is a reputed 100 years old global oil field services company wherein we have a strong reservoir science group that interacts with other functions such as drilling completions fracture designs and well logging. In addition to a full suite of logging tools our geoscience portfolio includes 'Jewel Suite' the proprietary reservoir modeling software.
This individual will actively engage in handson petrophysical characterization of unconventional reservoir and assist in creating a viable reservoir model. Frequent reportout and consultations with internal operations and OampG customers will be required. While based in Saudi Arabia collaborations with other geoscientists located throughout the world are expected.
