Exploration Geophysicist

My client, who is a leading operator, is currently looking for an Exploration Geophysicist to join their team to develop regional play concepts, conduct regional 2D & 3D seismic interpretation integrated with all available geologic data to develop a ranked portfolio of impact prospects and mentor other team members on use of geophysical exploration workflows and portfolio management tools.

Essential Position Functions:

Basin-wide play evaluation
Assimilate geologic and geophysical data to identify and rank hydrocarbon plays.
Established pathfinder and prospect generator with experience in multiple basins worldwide.

Key Job Responsibilities for these position:

Basin-wide play generation/evaluation.
Identify and utilise global play analogues to mature European opportunities.
Generate a ranked portfolio of impact prospects.
Conduct 2D/3D seismic interpretation - with emphasis on reservoir imaging workflows, regional velocity model construction for depth conversion, sequence stratigraphy and reservoir properties from seismic.
Effectively integrate G&G data (2D & 3D seismic, surface geology, well logs and potential field) to constrain prospect volumetrics.
Utilise management tools and subsurface characterisation workflows to enable capture of a robust prospect portfolio supported by peer reviewed geologic risk assessments.
Apply broader geophysical skills to generate prospects (AVO, potential field, depth conversion, processing QC, and 3D volume visualization).
Mentor team members on regional play pathfinding, exploration workflows and prospect generation.
Support exploration well planning and provide subsurface evaluation of ongoing exploration drilling programs.
Engage with engineering, drilling and decision analysis experts to develop economic evaluation and bid level recommendations to prioritise license capture opportunities.

Required Qualifications:

MSc or PhD in Geology or Geophysics required.
Experience with multi-discipline bid round evaluations.
Expertise with seismic volume interpretation applications/workflows as well as integrated geologic risk and volumetrics determination.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Exploration Geophysicist looking for that next step in their career.
