Exxon Mobil's state-of-the-art campus north of Houston serves as home to its Upstream, Product Solutions and Low Carbon Solutions businesses and their associated service groups. The facility opened in 2014 and accommodates more than 10,000 employees and visitors.

By bringing many global functional groups together, the campus provides employees with the tools and capabilities needed today, and in the future, to achieve business objectives and accelerate the discovery of new resources, technologies and products. It was designed to foster improved collaboration, creativity and innovation and enhance the company’s ability to attract, develop and retain the top talent in the industry.

The campus is located in Spring, Texas, on 385 wooded acres immediately to the west of Interstate Highway 45 (I-45), at the intersection of I-45 and the Hardy Toll Road, approximately 25 miles from the cultural vibrancy of downtown Houston.

The campus was constructed to the highest standards of energy efficiency and environmental stewardship. Its design incorporates extensive research into best practices in building and workplace design through extensive benchmarking of the world’s top academic, research, and corporate facilities.

Development & Production Geoscientists require work at the field scale, focusing on high grading development inventory through 3D reservoir characterization. They deliver accurate subsurface descriptions and communicate key risks and uncertainties supporting business investment decisions. Development & Production Geoscientists integrate and interpret geological and geophysical data to develop appraisal strategies, field scale development plans and execute drilling programs. Typical datasets for integration include seismic, logs, fluids, and core, which are to be used to build subsurface prediction models.

The role requires collaboration with engineering colleagues on reservoir characterization, well planning, drilling execution and technology development.

• Ability to comprehend, integrate knowledge, ideas and skills to solve geological problems with the opportunity to develop a wide range of skills and expertise.
• Plan and execute developments with integrated teams
• Evaluate appraisal potential through prospect generation, maturation, and drilling
• Ability to integrate diverse datasets across multiple scales (seismic, log, core) to build subsurface interpretations
• Candidates must be able to work effectively within and across diverse multi-discipline team environments

Skills and Qualifications

Master of Science (M.S.) degree in a relevant discipline

• Three or more years of experience in a relevant industry
• One or more of the following skills is desirable:
  • Effective quantitative interpretation skills with ability to work independently
  • Experience in well planning and execution to support drilling operations
  • Experience in building integrated, regionally consistent, core-, well- and seismic-constrained interpretations
  • Demonstrated effectiveness in report writing and mentoring
  • Ability to use any of the following software:
    Kingdom, Petra, Petrel

Preferred Qualifications/ Experience

• Ability to integrate geoscience skills and knowledge, varied data sets, analogs and ideas to solve geological problems to support the business, independently.…
