Carbonate Reservoir Sedimentologist

We arehiringa Carbonate Reservoir Geologist position within our Sedimentology & Stratigraphy (Sed Strat) Specialist Team. The team provides deep technicalexpertisethat is applied globally across bp’s Exploration and Reservoir Development portfolio.

This is an individual contributor role that requires a deep understanding of carbonate depositional systems and reservoir architecture,and broad experience of carbonate reservoir production characteristics.

The successful candidate must have specifically carbonate sedimentology and reservoir qualityexpertisewith a history of successfully applying and integrating that knowledgeina variety of subsurface projects to create value. In addition, the successful candidate will be able todemonstratestrong project management abilities, as well as excellent communication and influencing skills. This role is suitable for experienced carbonate sedimentologists with a history of business delivery.

Primary accountability wouldbe asone of bp’s recognized carbonate reservoir subject matter experts .

In addition to supporting carbonate-focused projects,thesuccessfulcandidate mustlead subsurface teams across bp to deliver sedimentological and reservoir characterization studiesin a range of diverse carbonate settings globally.

• Integrate diverse subsurface static and dynamic datasets working closely withengineersandothersubsurface disciplinestoidentifyvalue-generating opportunities

• Assistinframingand prioritizing technical service work.

• Supervise and verify sedimentological, reservoir quality, and integrated geology studies undertaken in theSedStratspecialist team, and as appropriate, those undertaken in assets.

• Provide input into management presentations and reports.

• Provide carbonate sedimentology and reservoir quality coaching and mentoring inareas of developedexpertiseacross bp.

• Develop andmaintaindeep carbonate sedimentological and diagenetic skills across a range of reservoir types through reading, attending consortia workshops and external conferences.

• Quicklydevelopastrong technicalreputationas a bp subject matter expert, and where appropriate, publish high quality innovative technical work internally and external lye.g.at industry-wide conferences and formal manuscript publications.

• Assist/lead teaching and development of bp courses with significant carbonate geological content.

• Act as a focal point for carbonate-focused JIPs/consortia, ensuring that maximum value is gained from them.

Minimum requirement MSc Geology degree level; preferably PhD level or equivalent experience.

• A deep understanding of carbonate sedimentary rocks across a range of depositional settings (e.g.platform, ramp,reefal, slope, basinal,lacustrine). In particular, the successful candidate will be able todemonstratea strong understanding of carbonate facies analysis, depositional architecture, diagenesis, reservoir quality evolution, high-resolution sequence stratigraphy, and strati graphic frameworks.

• An ability to scope and co-ordinate reservoir description and characterization projects,some involving external contractors, to deliver high-quality products that can be practically applied to subsurface problems.

• Experience in carbonate reservoir management/production, and at least oneof the following: exploration, appraisal, early field development.

• An ability to describe carbonate core and outcrops independently, to a high standard, integrating sedimentology, textures, diagenesis, fractures, and reservoir quality observations.

• Ability to organize and leadgeologicintegrated field trips and core workshops, particularly focused on carbonate systems and reservoir analogues.

• Strong communication skills (written and verbal). Experienced…
