SENIOR GEOSCIENTIST

Job Purpose:

The Senior Geoscientist will be an active member of the Subsurface team. The candidate is expected to deliver timely, high quality geological analysis and interpretation to Company’s development operations; in line with the overall technical strategy and goals, while maintaining high professional standards.

Responsibilities and Key Objectives:

• Seismic Interpretation, characterization, and mapping of faults & fractures at reservoir levels. Generating and utilizing seismic attributes for better characterization of fractures, faults, and other structural, stratigraphic, and sedimentary features.
• Interpret geophysical and geological data, use geologic concepts, and integrate information from variety of geologic disciplines to develop leads, locate new exploration targets, estimate volumes and recommend drillable prospects.
• QC, analyse and integrate geological, geophysical and production data to develop existing fields, identify upside potential and recommend optimal well placement for field development.
• Integrate large amounts of geological, petrophysical and geophysical data to generate static models for input into reservoir simulation, reserves estimation and development planning.
• Perform detailed reservoir characterization using advanced geological analyses to support characterization & field development, platform evaluation and well planning/ drilling operations.
• Provide subsurface input for design of field development plans.
• Work with drilling and reservoir engineering teams to generate well designs, evaluate, and review target location and logging requirements based on well objectives.
• Participate in exploration and development drilling operations.
