How much do petrophysics jobs pay per year?

As of Aug 13, 2026, the average yearly pay for petrophysics in the United States is $80,287.00, according to ZipRecruiter salary data. Most workers in this role earn between $41,500.00 and $103,000.00 per year, depending on experience, location, and employer.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the petrophysics position, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Petrophysicist, you need a strong background in geology, petrophysics, and reservoir engineering, typically supported by a degree in geosciences or engineering. Proficiency with well log analysis software (such as Schlumberger Techlog or Interactive Petrophysics), data interpretation tools, and familiarity with industry-standard methods are essential. Effective communication, problem-solving skills, and the ability to work well in multidisciplinary teams set outstanding candidates apart. These competencies ensure accurate reservoir evaluations, efficient collaboration, and successful project outcomes in the oil and gas industry.

What does a petrophysicist do?

A Petrophysicist analyzes the physical and chemical properties of rocks and their fluid contents, primarily in the oil and gas industry. They interpret well log data, core samples, and seismic information to determine reservoir quality and hydrocarbon potential. Their work helps geologists and engineers make informed decisions about drilling, production, and reservoir management. Petrophysicists use specialized software and tools to evaluate porosity, permeability, and fluid saturation. Their expertise is critical in optimizing resource extraction and maximizing recovery efficiency.

What are some typical daily responsibilities for a petrophysicist in an oil and gas company?

Petrophysicists spend their day analyzing well log data to evaluate the properties of reservoirs, such as porosity, permeability, and fluid content. They collaborate closely with geologists, reservoir engineers, and drilling teams to integrate data and provide recommendations for exploration and production activities. Daily tasks often include interpreting logging results, generating petrophysical models, preparing technical reports, and presenting findings to interdisciplinary teams. This role requires a strong attention to detail and the ability to communicate technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Job description

Reservoir Engineering position responsible for maximizing value of company assets through reserve and production growth. Duties include technical evaluation of prospects and producing properties, well and reservoir surveillance functions, and economic evaluations at a project level. Must be self-motivated and able to work individually as well as within an integrated team environment. Conduct reservoir engineering evaluations on selected properties to evaluate their potential, predict reservoir performance, optimize future depletion and development plans utilizing reservoir modeling. Such evaluations may include pressure and rate transient analysis, decline curve analysis, nodal analysis, material balance calculations, integrating data available from all disciplines to perform well and reservoir modeling, EOR studies and economic analysis.

  • BS in Engineering is required, preferably Petroleum.
  • 5+ yrs experience as a reservoir engineer with oil field related projects preferred.
  • Must have strong technical background in reservoir engineering including three phase fluid flow concepts, phase behavior and reservoir simulation. Ability to integrate data from all disciplines including geology, petrophysics and geophysics.
  • Should be able to carry out daily job functions such as decline curve analysis, material balance, volumetrics, pressure transient analysis, nodal analysis with little supervision.
  • Develop and make presentations to senior management as required.
  • Ability to work with multi-functional teams and prioritize projects.
  • Must have good interpersonal skills. 
Position will be filled at a level commensurate with experience.
