Job Description
The Staff Geologist/Geoscientist for the subsurface development department to work deepwater fields. The candidate must have a demonstrated proficiency in constructing conventional field models and experience in well planning and drilling. They should have expertise in Petrel together with an understanding of geologic models for field development, resource/reserve estimation and well trajectory planning is required.
The Staff Geologist will have the ability to apply quantitative analysis techniques, such as paleogeography, sequence stratigraphy, geo-statistics, and risk analysis to identify and optimize development of infield hydrocarbon potential. They should have experience in building and modifying geological models to accommodate reservoir engineering history matching information is also required. The position requires a self-starter, comfortable in a fast-paced environment and shifting priorities.
