About the role
- Oxy produces, markets and transports oil and natural gas to maximize value and provide resources fundamental to life.
- Headquartered in Houston, Oxy primarily operates in the United States, Middle East and North Africa.
Responsibilities
- Lead and advise on enterprise petrophysical and borehole data management initiatives, with emphasis on BHDM, DSIF, Recall, iPoint, well log repositories, core data, SCAL data, and related subsurface datasets.
- Partner with business users, petrophysicists, geoscientists, data managers, petro/geo techs, software developers, IT, cloud teams, and vendor resources to define requirements, validate workflows, and deliver fit-for-purpose data management solutions.
- Support the deployment, configuration, testing, and operational readiness of BHDM and DSIF-based solutions in cloud-hosted environments.
- Lead or contribute to data migration efforts from legacy systems such as Recall, iPoint, shared repositories, and other borehole data sources into a modern BHDM environment.
- Define, implement, and improve data ingestion workflows for wireline logs, cased-hole logs, open-hole logs, MWD/LWD data, core data, SCAL data, imagery, documents, and associated metadata.
- Establish and maintain quality control workflows for petrophysical datasets, including validation of headers, curves, units, mnemonics, depth references, data gaps, null values, spikes, flat sections, saturation effects, and metadata completeness.
- Develop and promote business rules, technical assurance protocols, data standards, and governance practices that ensure borehole data integrity, lineage, traceability, and long-term usability.
- Support automated ingestion, validation, approval, publication, search, visualization, export, and transfer workflows for borehole data.
- Work with business users to identify pain points, gather feedback, document requirements, prioritize enhancements, and promote adoption of new data management tools and workflows.
- Create and deliver presentations, workflow demonstrations, training materials, technical documentation, project updates, and communications that explain the value of BHDM / DSIF capabilities to both technical and non-technical audiences.
Requirements
- 10+ years of experience in petrophysical data management, borehole data management, subsurface data management, geoscience data systems, or related disciplines.
- Experience with iPoint or similar core and SCAL data management systems.
- Strong understanding of logging operations, drilling, coring, geodetics, well headers, log headers, downhole units of measure, coordinate reference systems, API numbering standards, and enterprise well master data.
- Experience with petrophysical interpretation and visualization tools such as Interactive Petrophysics, Techlog, LasWorx, Recall, Petrel, OpenWorks, Danomics, and similar applications.
- Experience with enterprise-scale ingestion, transformation, migration, and management of petrophysical data from multiple source systems into governed repositories.
Nice to have
- Experience with Landmark / Halliburton technologies such as BHDM, DSIF, DecisionSpace, Recall, Dropsite, Enterprise Search, and related borehole data workflows is strongly preferred.
Skills
- The company leverages its global leadership in carbon management to advance lower-carbon technologies and products.
