Job Description:

Apply subsurface Technical DM principles to support studies in Oil and Gas Exploration and Field Development in the following specialty areas:

• Geological Data - well and reservoir modeling data such as well headers, porosity, permeability, reservoir, data derived from geochemical samples, and metadata such as well names, depths and well coordinates. Typical stores for well data are Corporate Data Store for corporate data and Petrel for project data.

• Petrophysical Data - well logs and Petrophysical analysis. Data types include wireline, MWD, borehole, sonic and core data. Typical data stores are Recall and Petrel.

• Geophysical Data - geophysical data such as seismic traces (2D and 3d), seismic navigation data and potential field data.

As Technical Data Management Consultant, you'll support and deliver efficient and sustainable technical data management and associated workflows through the full project data lifecycle from project framing and setup, through project execution to project close-out, including results publishing and assurance. This will require you to identify, plan and contribute to the delivery of improvements associated with subsurface databases, software and tools.

Having a demonstrable ability to balance reactive with pro-active thinking is essential.

• The role requires strong subsurface business domain knowledge coupled with Technical Information & Data Management (TD) Technical Data knowledge with a demonstrable passion for Continuous Improvement.

• The position requires strong understanding of subsurface business processes and knowledge of the complete Project Data and Information Lifecycle in subsurface projects. Expertise in data flow is also required, including how subsurface data enters the project space, is synchronized between various applications and project stores used in the workflow and how the "final" or "results" are published back to the corporate environment.

You'll be expected to collaborate across boundaries and stakeholders to ensure business delivery of data as an asset. Requirements:

• Relevant degree in a subsurface discipline (e.g., Geology, Geophysics, Petroleum Engineering) and/or extensive experience in TD (Technical Data) supporting subsurface assets.

• Experience with TD in a team environment with minimum 5 years industry experience

• Demonstrable experience in the use and development of common TD workflows, practices, standards & tools including but not limited to core applications such as Petrel, Techlog, Open Works, Open Spirit, Recall.

• Analytical ability combined with pragmatic approach to solving problems with exposure to CI (Continuous Improvement) and DQ (Data Quality) to improve TD delivery & value

• Proven experience of having worked in the subsurface business and acquired domain knowledge in any or more of the following areas:
Exploration, Development, CCUS, Wells, WRFM (Well, Reservoir & Facilities Management). Familiar with IM (Information Management)

• Adaptability to changing data and project demands and exposure to process change management

• Readiness to champion all issues related to data security and understanding of associated Entitlements & Obligations and Data Security & Restrictions

• Confident and effective communication with demonstrable influencing skill

Work requires a comprehensive understanding and capability to support exploration and production asset teams, with primary emphasis on project data management involving:

• Well Header Data Management:
To ensure the basic Well Information is in place and complies with standards. All COMPANY wells need to be loaded to the Corporate Data Store with the correct well header information and as per defined work instructions. Procedures also exist for non-Shell wells - well data must be released as per Governmental Obligations.

• Corporate Well Data Loading for Petrophysics, Geoscience & Geology Mainly well picks, stratigraphy, log curves are stored in proper format…
