Direct the identification risk assessment and technical maturation of new exploration prospects and plays.
Oversee the construction and maintenance of high-quality static geological models for reservoir evaluation and development planning.
Ensure the proper acquisition processing interpretation and integration of all subsurface data (e.g. seismic data well logs core and production history).
Calculate detailed hydrocarbon in-place volumes (volumetrics) and provide thorough probabilistic geological risk assessments for drilling decisions and reserve reporting.
Provide critical geoscience input for well proposals including target identification casing points and hazard mitigation often with well-site supervision input.
