Development Geologist

Role & responsibilities

• Plan & build detailed, geologically rigorous, geocellular models in a timely manner, by integrating all geological and petrophysical data and supplementing them with appropriate analogues,
• Iterate the geocellular model with team members to ensure all subsurface understanding is represented in the model,
• Provide final static models to the reservoir engineering team and work with them to ensure simulation is achieved,
• Use models to provide guidance on field development strategies (i.e. future well locations and workovers),
• Provide uncertainty analysis through model scenarios for development and volumetric purposes
• Planning well-site geological operations
• Preparing well data acquisition plan Geological (cutting samples, coring, mudlog and drilling log)
• Mitigating drilling risk using historical data in the area
• Identifying shallow hazards and mitigating the risk
• Preparing Petrophysical data acquisition plan
  

Additionally:

• Provide mentoring to less experienced client geoscientists,
• Provide hands on support to other reservoir modelling activities,
• Provide detailed reports and presentations to other members of the team, clients and stakeholders.

Preferred candidate profile

• 10+ years oil & gas industry experience with about 3 years experience of building static models and about 2 years of well-site geological operation experience
• Hands on proficiency with Petrel software
• Experience with conventional clastic reservoirs & carbonate reservoirs
• Ability to import and manipulate geological, seismic and borehole data
• Experience in seismic interpretation and time-depth conversion to model construction
• Capable of managing more than one project
• Deliver technically sound interpretations and clear recommendations in a timely manner.
• Broad background in all forms of exploration and developments geoscience
• Expert level of reservoir modelling skills
• Should be able to build and maintain integrated static models (Geocellular models) for the purpose of simulation
• Ability to work with multi-disciplinary team to deliver Field development plan.
• Experience of Planning and supervising wellsite operations with proven track record
• Coaching and Mentoring experience of junior staff
