Job Summary

We are seeking an experienced Geophysicist to lead and coordinate integrated subsurface evaluations, from subsurface to economic evaluation, ahead of an active rig program.

Key Responsibilities
  • Generating integrated geoscience assessments of exploration opportunities, providing bid round recommendations for new acreage acquisition and performing regional scale play evaluations.
  • Maturing prospects to drill ready status and supporting well planning, drilling execution and appraisal evaluation, as appropriate.
  • Leading quantitative geophysical efforts in the Alaska E&A organization and partnering with geophysicists in the Alaska Development organization to facilitate effective knowledge sharing across the business unit.
  • Integrating seismic and well log data to develop geophysical models that characterize the observed seismic responses and their implications for defining viable geologic scenarios.
  • Interpreting quantitative geophysical attributes, including AVO and inversion products in support of Exploration and Appraisal drilling, leasing, and other activities.
  • Interacting with drillers, reservoir engineers, petrophysicists, facilities engineers, and financial analysts to properly characterize the risk, resource volumes, and economic value of exploration prospects.
  • Working closely with the development and appraisal teams who manage production units and evaluation of discovered resources in the Alaska BU to integrate the exploration program with producing/discovered assets.
  • Effective partnering across Geoscience and Exploration organizations with both technology experts and other exploration teams to ensure successful sharing/capture of innovative and leveraging learnings.
Requirements
  • Master's degree or higher in Geosciences or foreign equivalent.
  • Intermediate level of knowledge in rock physics.
  • 1 or more years of experience in utilizing seismic sequence stratigraphic concepts and working with geologists to constrain geologic models for reservoir characterization with seismic data.
  • Intermediate proficiency in prospect risking and characterizing prospects in GeoX.
  • Ability to integrate petrophysical log data, and seismic data to develop facies models for quantification of reservoir parameters.
  • Ability to work in data-intensive and data-poor environments.
  • Demonstrated ability to use Petrel, RokDoc, Hampson-Russell, or other modeling software.
  • Invites dialogue to gain a shared understanding and influences with confidence to drive performance and achieve business results.
