As one team, we are all united by our vision to deliver energy for all. Our successful growth as an upstream oil and gas producer has been achieved by consistently finding and developing world-class assets.

Our business is focused on safely exploring and producing from conventional offshore, unconventional and oil sands assets. As part of the CNOOC Group of companies, which span the entire energy supply chain, our size and capability create a competitive advantage that ensures we deliver long-term value. Our growth strategy is to safely and sustainably develop our high-quality portfolio to deliver energy for all.

**Why CNOOC International?**:
At CNOOC International, we take pride in our corporate culture. From East to West, we foster an ethical, responsible and safety-first mindset to build trust among our stakeholders.

Bold ideas, diverse perspectives and the determination to fuel our success are what set us apart.

A career at CNOOC International is about moving forward - learning new skills, broadening experiences, and making meaningful contributions. We offer an unprecedented opportunity for growth and development.

Working for us means no matter what you do, you can make an immediate impact.

Your contributions are rewarded with highly competitive compensation and training that will open doors to your future. In return for your hard work, tenacity and contributions, you can expect an array of benefits.

**The Role**:
**The Reservoir Studies & Simulation (RSS) Team** is responsible for delivery of quality subsurface studies in support of the asset work programmes. These studies include, but are not limited to, seismic interpretation, static and dynamic reservoir modelling, infill drilling opportunity identification, medium to longer term reservoir management and optimisation, EOR etc.

The role holder will act as a **Geologist** in the RSS Team and play a key role in improving geological understanding of CNOOC Petroleum Europe Ltd (CPEL) assets, constructing / updating geological models, identifying infill target opportunities and maturing the infill targets through the well delivery process.

As a member of the technical subsurface community, the role holder may occasionally be invited to take part in technical assurance activities as a reviewer.

**You will**:

- Work with asset subsurface team and RSS team members to evaluate and mature targets that are shortlisted within the asset target hopper
- Play a critical role in timely delivery of the subsurface concept, incremental production potential and risk definition for each target progressed through the target maturation process
- Interrogate and, if need be, construct / update geological models (in Petrel) which will inform the target maturation process
- Using the asset models, investigate impact of geological uncertainty on incremental volumes and subsurface risk attributed to the targets
- Present and secure support for work from internal and external assurance teams and stakeholders as necessary
- Compile static model report
- Provide ad-hoc support to other developments projects that may require input in your discipline, including occasional Geological support in technical assurance reviews

**Who are we looking for?**:
**You have**:

- A variety of structural settings and the impact these have on deposition, compartmentalisation and reservoir quality
- Integrating multidisciplinary data to establish coherent understanding of the subsurface and the uncertainties that matter for field development decisions
- Knowledge and recent experience in planning and building geomodels and in uncertainty analysis workflows
- Competent Petrel user and able to coach others
- Identification and evaluation of well targets, target hopper management
- Well planning and operations, including data acquisition planning and operations experience
- A good understanding of the integration of geology with other disciplines including geophysics, petrophysics, reservoir engineering, drilling, completions and production technology
- Sound data analysis and geostatistical understanding, with a broad understanding of geological uncertainty
- Ability to incorporate geological and other subsurface uncertainties into geomodelling and target maturation workflows to test robustness of infill targets concepts
- Strong sense of accountability and ability to work to short deadlines, delivering timely results without compromising on integrity or detail where appropriate
- An
