Senior Geophysicist

The Geophysicist has the ability to undertake more complex geophysical tasks independently such as interpreting seismic data developing quantitative interpretation models and participating in drilling operations. This role also supports subsurface characterization and development within the Permian Basin by integrating seismic well and geological data to drive exploration and development decisions.

Seismic Data Interpretation: Independently interpret seismic data (2D/3D) to identify fault systems stratigraphic traps and reservoir targets; generate and utilize seismic attributes where appropriate
Data Integration: Analyze and integrate geological and geophysical data (seismic well logs cores) to build consistent subsurface interpretations and support geomodeling workflows
Well Logs and Core Data: Apply understanding of well logs and core data to define lithology porosity permeability and fluid content and integrate with seismic interpretation
Geologic & Velocity Modeling: Assist in development of geological models including time-depth conversion and velocity frameworks
Well Planning & Drilling Support: Support well planning including target definition and depth uncertainty; participate in drilling operations log evaluation and post-well analysis
Project Leadership: Manage small technical projects and coordinate with geology reservoir engineering petrophysics geomechanics and operations teams
Prospect Identification: Support identification and evaluation of exploration development and recompletion opportunities
Geoscience Software: Apply advanced features of software such as Petrel and utilize tools like GeoX/Rose RA and Paleoscan
Data Quality & Seismic Improvement: Evaluate seismic data quality and support reprocessing or acquisition efforts
Mentoring: Provide guidance to junior geoscientists
Reporting & Communication: Prepare reports and present findings to stakeholders

Skills
Seismic Interpretation: Competent in seismic interpretation including structural mapping and basic attribute analysis
Advanced Analysis: Proficient in interpreting geological data and developing models
Well Log and Core Interpretation: Ability to integrate well log and core data into subsurface models
Software Proficiency: Solid skills in Petrel and related tools
Engineering Awareness: Basic understanding of reservoir and completion engineering and how geoscience impacts development decisions
Business Acumen: Intermediate knowledge of petroleum economics and Value of Information concepts
Technical Communication: Expanding ability to present to technical and non-technical audiences
Collaboration: Ability to work across disciplines within an asset team environment
