Job Description

You will be deployed into a multi-disciplinary squad to provide deep technical skills in geophysics and subsurface integration, along with thorough insight into subsurface uncertainty and risk. You will develop and provide deep technical skills in seismic interpretation and subsurface integration. There are broadening opportunities, with the potential to work different fields/basins and a variety of activities such as integrated subsurface description, development planning and well planning for assets within bp s global oil and gas portfolio. Responsibilities As an individual technical contributor, working closely with other subsurface disciplines and other business units such as the Wells organisation, you will provide geophysical capability to progress prioritised business opportunities. You will deliver high quality seismic analysis, interpretation and mapping using state-of-the-art workstation technologies, whilst integrating with geological and engineering data to build subsurface descriptions which underpin field developments across the global portfolio. Your technical and business skills will enable you to develop appropriate subsurface scenarios, to characterise and communicate subsurface uncertainties and use this knowledge to plan and deliver fit for purpose technical products. Your ability to clearly communicate subsurface uncertainty to colleagues and business leaders will enable the development of appropriate risk management and mitigation plans. As a geophysicist in bp s geophysics and subsurface communities you will coach and mentor, share standard process and seek to innovate to solve technical and business challenges.
