Development Geologist

Main Duties

Responsible for geological technical work and studies. This includes:

· Integrating geological, petrophysical, geophysical and other field data as required to understand both regional geology and reservoir architecture.

· Performing field evaluation studies, development planning, resource maturation and risk mitigation. Contribute to G&G component of Field Development Plans.

· Designing and executing modeling studies. Update and build geologic static models utilizing Petrel suite of Software, capturing the range in uncertainty.

· Strong contributor within subsurface teams to the selection and evaluation of drilling candidates. Participating in definition, design and planning of data acquisition programs in collaboration with the well team. Supervising geological operations and QC deliverables on well site when required.

· Providing QA/QC of all geological work and ensuring that work is performed according to company best practices and standards. Capture, share and implement lessons learnt to improve workflows.

· Providing technical expertise on specific topics (e.g. sedimentology, structural geology, basin modeling, reservoir characterization, reservoir modelling, fractured reservoirs, geostatistics etc)

· Developing and preparing proposals for studies and coordinating internal or external execution. QC and apply study findings.

· Test and evaluate new technology, workflows, and software. Coordinate R&D projects.

· Contributing proactively to technical proposals, reports, and presentations to partners (workshops/TCMs), internal processes (assurance/peer Review) and technical authorities as requested.

Acting as representative in various technical conferences and workshops.
