Job Description Step into a high-impact role with a leading drilling services provider where your expertise in MWD and real-time data will directly influence drilling performance and operational success. This is a contract position offering consistent Monday-Friday, 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM hours, working with advanced MWD technology and EM telemetry systems in a fast-paced, technically focused environment. About the Role: As an MWD Operations Specialist, you will be responsible for the efficient setup, operation, and monitoring of Measurement While Drilling systems to support directional drilling operations.
You will interpret real-time drilling data, optimize tool performance, and provide critical input to ensure wells are drilled safely, accurately, and efficiently. Working closely with directional drillers and field teams, you will help drive decision-making and maintain high standards of data quality and system reliability. Key Responsibilities: Configure, operate, and monitor MWD systems, including XEM/xBolt tools, to support ongoing drilling operations.
Interpret real-time drilling and formation data to support directional drilling decisions and wellbore placement. Coordinate with directional drillers and drilling supervisors to adjust drilling parameters based on real-time data and downhole tool performance. Troubleshoot and resolve MWD and EM telemetry issues, ensuring continuous, reliable data transmission to surface.
Validate, quality-check, and document MWD data, ensuring accuracy and completeness for reporting and post-well analysis. Maintain and update operational records, tool run histories, and job logs in accordance with company procedures. Support pre-job planning, tool selection, and configuration to meet well program requirements and client specifications.
Adhere to company and client safety standards, operational procedures, and best practices during all phases of MWD operations. Key Requirements: Proven experience operating Measurement While Drilling systems in a drilling environment. Hands-on experience with XEM/xBolt MWD tools and EM telemetry systems.
Strong capability in real-time drilling data interpretation and application to directional drilling operations. Solid understanding of directional drilling concepts, wellbore placement, and drilling dynamics. Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot MWD tools and telemetry issues under time-sensitive conditions.
Proficiency with MWD surface software and data acquisition systems. Strong communication skills for effective collaboration with field personnel, directional drillers, and office-based teams. Ability to work standard Monday-Friday, 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM schedule with flexibility for operational demands as required.
Desirable Skills: Experience with multiple MWD tool platforms and telemetry methods beyond EM. Familiarity with drilling optimization, vibration mitigation, and performance drilling practices. Exposure to data integration with drilling reporting systems and real-time operations centers.
Experience supporting both onshore and offshore drilling operations. Knowledge of basic well planning and survey management. Qualifications: High school diploma or equivalent required; technical diploma or associate degree in a related field (e.g., Petroleum Technology, Electronics, Instrumentation) preferred
Formal training or certification in MWD operations from a recognized provider or employer training program. Safety certifications relevant to drilling operations (e.g., H2S, Well Control awareness) preferred. Valid driver's license and ability to meet company and client site access requirements
If you are an experienced MWD professional with strong XEM/xBolt and EM telemetry skills and want to contribute directly to high-performing drilling operations, you are encouraged to apply.
