Scope
Development and Production Geoscientist Contractor Job Description
Development & Production Geoscientists require work at the field scale, focusing on high grading development inventory through 3D reservoir characterization. They deliver accurate subsurface descriptions and communicate key risks and uncertainties supporting business investment decisions.
Development & Production Geoscientists integrate and interpret geological and geophysical data to develop appraisal strategies, field-scale development plans, and execute drilling programs. Typical datasets for integration include seismic, logs, fluids, and core, which are used to build subsurface prediction models.
The role requires collaboration with engineering colleagues on reservoir characterization, well planning, drilling execution, and technology development.
What You Will Do
- Ability to comprehend and integrate knowledge, ideas, and skills to solve geological problems.
- Plan and execute developments with integrated teams.
- Evaluate appraisal potential through prospect generation, maturation, and drilling.
- Integrate diverse datasets across multiple scales, including seismic, logs, and core, to build subsurface interpretations.
- Work effectively within and across diverse, multidisciplinary team environments.
- Master of Science (M.S.) degree in a relevant discipline.
- Three or more years of experience in a relevant industry.
- One or more of the following skills is desirable:
- Effective quantitative interpretation skills with the ability to work independently.
- Experience in well planning and execution to support drilling operations.
- Experience building integrated, regionally consistent, core-, well-, and seismic-constrained interpretations.
- Experience with one or more of the following software:
- Kingdom
- Petra
- Petrel
- Ability to independently integrate geoscience skills and knowledge, varied datasets, analogs, and ideas to solve geological problems that support the business.
- Sound judgment, timeliness, and aptitude in the application of geoscience tools and techniques.
- Desire to maintain a competitive advantage by leveraging prior experience.
- Unconventional reservoir experience preferred.
- Permian Basin experience desired.
