Summer part-time job BECFIELD, Directional Drilling Service Company, Syria o Set up & Configuration MWD Tools, LWD Logging.
Professional Skills
o Prepare and compile the well geological program. o Evaluate offset data before the start of drilling o Analyze, evaluate and describe formations while drilling, using data from sources such as cuttings, gas, measuring while drilling (MWD) and logging while drilling (LWD) tools, and wireline logs o compare data gathered during formation evaluation measurement while drilling (FEMWD) with predictions made at the exploration stage
o advise on drilling hazards and drilling bit optimization. o attend rig meetings after each shift takes over and call the operations geologist with updates o take the lead on health and safety at the wellsite. o Operations liaison between COO, VP Exploration, Drilling team and wellsite geologists. o Supervise and advise the wellsite geology teams at rigs (CROSCO 401 1500 horse power, CROSCO 501 2500 horse power, and MB3 3000 horse power).

- Calcimeter calibration.
- Sample description and interpretation (cuttings, sidewall cores and conventional cores).
- Description and interpretation of both chromatography and fluorescence shows.
- Sampling for non-programmed geochemical targets, when the cuttings exhibit source rock potential.
- Analysis of the drilling parameters and interpretation of the changes in the weight on bit vs rate of penetration, SPP vs flow rate, RPM vs torque.
- Daily correlation between prognoses and actual results, including the overall interpretation of all previous data.
- Monitor and QC the on line and off line data.
o Witnessing the Wireline Logging
- Perform quality and efficiency controls of the Wireline Logging Operators.
- Quick-look, evaluation and recommendation for the well logs.
- Supervised running of SP, GR, Resistivity, Sonic, Neutron, Density, PEFZ, MDT, VSP, CMR, FMI and others. o Supervised horizontal, deviated and multilateral wells. maintain up-to-date knowledge of MWD tools, such as gamma ray and resistivity, as geosteering becomes increasingly important
- Witnessing the MWD surveys and Directional Drilling
- Witnessing and make sure that the actual data (Azimuth, X, Y, inclination) is compatible with the plan
