About the role
- Outputs are used closely with Land and Business Development to shape entry strategy and capture opportunities.
- The work is fast-paced and team-based, with tight timelines and frequent decision points.
- Mentor geoscientists and set best practices for integrated interpretation, uncertainty tracking, and executive-level communication.
Responsibilities
- Continental Resources is seeking an Advisor-level New Ventures Geoscientist to evaluate new ventures, develop play concepts, and support a commercially focused exploration strategy through integrated subsurface interpretation.
- You will integrate regional geologic data including wellbore, 2D/3D seismic, and potential-field data, to build play evaluations and prospects that de-risk opportunities and support investment decisions.
- Build basin-to-prospect interpretations and maps to constrain structure, stratigraphy, and fairway geometry.
- Develop subsurface models and risk assessments that link tectono-stratigraphic evolution, charge/migration, reservoir/seal, and timing.
- Working across subsurface, operations, land, and business development to deliver clear evaluations that inform entry strategy, acreage capture, and deal decisions.
Requirements
- Master's or Doctorate degree in Geoscience or Earth Sciences from an accredited university.
- Minimum of fifteen (15) years of exploration experience with demonstrated success in new ventures and basin-scale petroleum systems evaluation.
- 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 in strategic exploration planning, exploration well execution, and post-drill technical evaluation.
Nice to have
- International exploration experience, including offshore new ventures and exploration & appraisal program execution.
- Demonstrated ability to integrate structural geology, tectonic evolution, and basin-scale geodynamic frameworks into exploration strategies.
- Awareness of, and experience applying, AI-assisted workflows and emerging technologies to improve interpretation efficiency, data QC, and general AI literacy.
- Positive, practical, and collaborative in high-uncertainty exploration work.
- 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.
- Seismic Interpretation
- 2D/3D seismic structural and stratigraphic mapping and interpretation across onshore and offshore datasets.
- Quantitative Interpretation
- Familiarity with rock physics/AVO and seismic inversion concepts.
- Petroleum Systems & Basin Modeling Source rock, charge/migration, timing, and play risking.
- Reservoir Characterization - Petrophysics, rock, and analogs to assess reservoir quality and distribution.
- Communication & Leadership
- Communicates technical work effectively with senior technical and executive audiences.
- Collaboration - Works well across disciplines and turns inputs into recommendations.
