• Professional education and continuous gaining new experience
• Comfortable parking close by the company building, work in a pleasant environment, flexible working time, extra day offs, fresh fruits and vegetables daily and many others

Your job will be:

• Qualitative & quantitative description of rocks interaction with Plasma Drilling Bits
• Rock mechanics analysis in the vicinity of the Plasma Drilling Bits
• Analysis of cracks formation and propagation in the rock during the Plasma drilling process
• Analysis of the drilled fragments
• Analysis of the filtration properties of the rocks after Plasma Drilling
• Analysis of the effect of heat on rock mass around the borehole
• Parametric analysis for Plasma Drilling Bits design innovations
• Comprehensive evaluation of the rocks after the Plasma Drilling Bits exposure
• Mechanical & Thermo-mechanical testing of rocks
• Identification of rocks and formations
• Petrographic analysis of rocks
• Design of the Plasma drilling working window parameters for different formation types
• Implementation of the analysis results to the design of the Plasma Drilling Bit and whole Plasma Drilling service procedure
• Risk assessment of the Plasma Drilling process
• Evaluation of the borehole stability during Plasma drilling
• Performing role of the test engineeer during the Plasma Drilling tests, writing test reports

We will be glad to know you, if you have:
