Job Description
Job Overview: A rapidly developing Geophysical Products and Services Company providing software, tools and services to help oil and gas exploration professionals interpret subsurface data quantitatively and assess exploration and production risks and opportunities, is looking for an experienced and energetic Senior Seismic Interpreter / Asset Geophysicist to further strengthen their quantitative interpretation team.
Quantifying uncertainty and reducing risk is a key process in today's oil and gas industry. With niche solutions that address this challenge, the Company has recently won a $10million contract with a successful North Sea Operator to provide rock physics directed prospect evaluation, geomodelling and reservoir characterisation for the oil company’s exploration, appraisal and development drilling programme. The oil company has been the most active driller and explorer in the North Sea for the past 2 years and is set to remain so for several years more.
Working directly with the Oil Company client within a dedicated team of geophysicists, geoscientists, petrophysicists and specialists in rock physics, seismic modeling and inversion, reservoir model building, well planning and operations, you will explore, appraise and optimize production from the Oil Company’s majority owned assets. You will use the Company’s innovative range of Quantitative Interpretation software products as well as other standard industry tools.
Some travel will be required, mainly to Calgary and Aberdeen, but the job will be firmly based in SW London.
Responsibilities: Reporting directly to the Chief Geophysicist, the successful candidate will be expected to: · Interpretation - Explore, appraise and optimize production from in and around a cluster of majority owned assets around the Outer Moray Firth and Central North Sea. · Creativity - With access to leading edge technologies and tools, apply new methods and be able to use your creativity in prospect generation and well targeting to best advantage including developing, planning and executing time lapse projects. · Recommend - Assess, quantify and communicate risks to team members and management along with professional conclusions based on the interpretations. · Add further strength to the Company’s Geophysical Consultancy and Services team, from broad experience of a range of geophysical techniques such as rock physics, reservoir characterisation, 4D Seismic, AVO, Inversion, etc., particularly in the area of prospect evaluation. · Work with the oil client to understand all the geophysical constraints and issues pertaining to the data and technical objectives. · Develop knowledge of Rock Physics and further strengthen the Company’s integration of Rock Physics with other geophysical techniques. This integration delivers powerful predictive models to meet current exploration and production challenges, and is crucial to the Company’s continued success.
This is an ideal role for an experienced, innovative and ambitious geophysicist who wishes to be actively contributing to an already successful exploration and development drilling campaign. If you like getting your exploration prospects, infill locations and economic upside targets drilled then this is a job for you!
