About the role
- The work is fast-paced and team-based, with tight timelines and frequent decision points.
- Provide technical input to exploration well planning (log suites, coring, testing, and sampling plans) and subsurface data strategies (seismic acquisition/reprocessing and mapping workflows as needed); capture post-drill learnings to improve prospect ranking.
Responsibilities
- Work products are used closely with Land and Business Development to support entry strategy, acreage capture, and deal decisions.
- Develop integrated subsurface models and risk assessments that link tectono-stratigraphic evolution, charge and migration, reservoir and seal effectiveness, and trap timing, document assumptions, key uncertainties, and value drivers.
- Partner with Land and Business Development to deliver clear, decision-ready evaluations that inform entry strategy, acreage capture, and deal decisions.
Requirements
- Minimum of ten (10) years of exploration experience with demonstrated success in new ventures and/or play evaluation, prospect generation, and subsurface risk assessment.
- Expertise in conventional and unconventional reservoirs, including play fairway mapping, prospect generation, and probabilistic resource assessments.
- Proficiency in industry-standard geoscience software (e.g., Geographix, Petrel, Kingdom, ArcGIS, PaleoScan, etc.).
- Experience supporting exploration well planning and execution and performing post-drill technical evaluation and lessons-learned capture.
Nice to have
- Awareness of, and experience applying, AI-assisted workflows and emerging technologies to improve interpretation efficiency, and general AI literacy.
- Demonstrated ability to integrate structural geology, tectonic evolution, and basin-scale geodynamic frameworks into exploration strategies.
- Positive, practical, and collaborative in high-uncertainty exploration work.
- Quantitative Interpretation - Exposure to rock physics/AVO and seismic inversion concepts.
- Professional proficiency in one or more languages in addition to English.
- Physical Requirements and Working Conditions
- Requires prolonged sitting, some bending and stooping.
- Occasional lifting up to 25 pounds.
Skills
- Integrated Interpretation - Integrates geology, geophysics, petrophysics, and geochemistry into clear play and prospect models.
- Applied Geophysical Mapping - Proficient 2D/3D seismic structural and stratigraphic mapping.
- Petroleum Systems & Play Risking - Applied knowledge of source rock, charge/migration, timing, trap/seal, and scenario-based risking.
- Collaboration - Works well across disciplines and turns inputs into recommendations.
