Geologist

Job Summary Innovative, results and process-driven Petro-technical professional specializing in a geoscience field. Gathers and combines geological observations and datasets, such as well logs, seismic data,cores and geo-mechanical data. Explores for and develops hydrocarbons by making geological interpretations to explain the data. Performs geologic studies to mitigate risk, evaluate leads and prospects and improve reservoir characterization. Applies geological interpretation to map or model reservoirs to efficiently and economically manage hydrocarbon extraction.

Interprets and analyzes well logs and prepares structure, isopach and net pay maps. Involved with collecting and analyzing competitive activity data and providing recommendations to management. This position is located in downtown Houston, TX. Hybrid work schedule is an option for remote work on Mondays and Fridays. Level and salary commensurate with experience.

Essential Job Functions Applies knowledge of geosteering & geology to select pilot wells, steer horizontal wells, and analyze subsurface data for development planning

Proactively and effectively communicates with field/ office personnel

Integrates geologic data with engineering and operations teams to optimize well placement and mitigate drilling hazards

Manages and reviews service provider performance

Provides geologic input for field development planning, the execution of upcoming drilling programs, and proposed surveillance for recent discoveries

Demonstrates fundamental log analysis skills & understanding of key well logs Fully capable of preparing maps or displays for internal or external purposes

Updates maps, grids and other information to reflect new information obtained from drilling, core samples and other sources

Assists with a full range of exploration and development activities, from geologic evaluation of prospect areas, creating geologic maps and cross sections, to performing core and well log analysis

Applies geologic and petrophysical knowledge to help explore core acreage positions and identify potential opportunities in adjacent areas

Supports integrated subsurface teams, providing appropriate subsurface analysis, e.g. risk assessment & mitigation, probabilistic hydrocarbon estimates, & the reservoir impact of potential wells

Uses well logs, seismic data and regional geologic trend data to create play and prospect scale maps for evaluation of exploration opportunities

Constructs geologic models by using maps and sections across a diverse set of software platforms

Collaborates with multidisciplinary exploration teams, identifying & resolving anticipated geologic problems

Monitors and evaluates competitor activity and geologic understanding within an assigned geographic area Applies geoscience principles to solve problems and builds technical business knowledge

Evaluates moderate-scope problems using data, business awareness, and independent judgment
