On-sync Energy Management Services Company.

Job Responsibilities

• Lead basin-scale geophysical evaluations integrating seismic, gravity, magnetic, and well data to define regional structural frameworks, basin architecture, and tectonic evolution.
• Conduct regional seismic interpretation, horizon mapping, and cross-section construction to evaluate petroleum system elements, including source rocks, reservoirs, seals, and traps.
• Integrate 2D/3D seismic and potential field data to develop subsurface structural, basement, and sediment-thickness models.
• Evaluate basin- and play-level exploration risks by integrating geochemical, biostratigraphic, petrophysical, and geophysical data.
• Prepare and present Play Chance Assessments, Petroleum System Models, and other regional exploration studies to support management decisions.
• Generate, map, evaluate, and rank exploration prospects and leads using 3D seismic interpretation, attribute analysis, AVO/AVAz, and other advanced techniques.
• Perform probabilistic volumetric assessments, including Monte Carlo analysis and P10/P50/P90 resource distributions, in accordance with SPE-PRMS principles.
• Lead structural interpretation, fault mapping, time-depth conversion, depth uncertainty analysis, DHI evaluation, and seismic inversion studies.
• Develop ranked prospect portfolios incorporating Geological Chance of Success, resource estimates, and exploration risk assessments.
• Design and evaluate 2D and 3D seismic acquisition programs, including survey geometry, source and receiver parameters, fold, offset, and azimuth coverage.
• Conduct pre-survey modelling, illumination analysis, and noise assessment to optimize seismic acquisition design and cost efficiency.
• Provide technical oversight during seismic acquisition activities and evaluate emerging technologies such as broadband, simultaneous-source, nodal, and distributed acoustic sensing systems.
• Manage seismic acquisition projects and contracts from planning and tendering through execution, quality control, and final acceptance.
• Provide geophysical input to exploration well planning, including well location, target definition, depth prognosis, and formation evaluation requirements.
• Support drilling activities through trajectory assessment, subsurface hazard evaluation, and interpretation of LWD/MWD data.
• Conduct post-drill seismic-to-well ties, synthetic seismograms, wavelet extraction, velocity modelling, and prospect re-evaluation.
• Interpret and integrate gravity, magnetic, magnetotelluric, and other non-seismic datasets to improve subsurface understanding.
• Apply forward and inverse modelling techniques to evaluate basement, salt, igneous bodies, and other complex geological features.
• Evaluate emerging exploration technologies, including surface geochemistry, remote sensing, hyperspectral analysis, and other non-seismic methods.
• Promote the application of AI/ML-assisted geophysical interpretation, automated seismic interpretation, seismic facies classification, and machine-learning-based subsurface workflows.
• Contribute to digital geoscience initiatives, including…
