Senior Seismic Interpreter

TBNG is seeking an experienced, highly analytical, and hands-on Senior Geophysicist / Seismic Interpreter to join our technical team in Tekirdağ.

In this role, you will lead complex 2D/3D seismic interpretation workflows, drive prospect generation, and unlock remaining gas reserves across both mature production assets and active exploration targets in the Thrace Basin
.

The ideal candidate possesses deep technical expertise in clastic depositional environments, structural deformation patterns, thin-bed gas sand interpretation, advanced seismic attributes, and integrated reservoir characterization.

• Carry out extensive 2D and 3D reflection seismic data interpretation across multiple survey vintages, seamless merger datasets, and various processing phases.
• Perform detailed structural, strati graphic, and amplitude mapping to define mature field step-outs, infill drilling opportunities, and wildcat prospects.
• Execute precise well-to-seismic ties utilizing synthetic seismograms and Checkshot / VSP data to establish robust time-to-depth relationships.
• Conduct structural analysis, including intricate fault framework mapping, structural closure validation, and fault seal integrity assessment.
• Apply advanced seismic interpretation techniques to characterize tight gas sands
  , low-resistivity pay, and multi-stacked clastic reservoir units.
• Utilize sequence stratigraphy and subtle trap identification techniques (strati graphic traps, pinch-outs, channel systems) to delineate remaining and overlooked reserves.
• Evaluate Direct Hydrocarbon Indicators (DHIs), amplitude anomalies, and gas-charged zone indicators typical of shallow and deep gas plays in the region.
• Interpret advanced seismic processing products, including post-stack/pre-stack seismic attributes, acoustic/elastic impedance inversions, and AVO (Amplitude Versus Offset) anomaly screening.
• Perform velocity analysis, velocity model building, and depth conversion, addressing depth uncertainty in structurally complex settings or low signal-to-noise areas.
• Collaborate closely with Geologists and Reservoir Engineers to select and optimize locations for development wells, workovers, and exploration wells based on integrated subsurface models.
• Evaluate third-party seismic processing and reprocessing workflows (e.g., PSTM/PSDM) and drive the implementation of innovative geophysical technologies within the team.

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Geophysics, Geological Engineering, Physics, or related Earth Science disciplines from a recognized university. Master (MS) or Ph.D. degree is preferred.
• Experience: Minimum 10+ years of progressive, hands-on industry experience in seismic interpretation, prospect generation, and field development.
• Regional
  
  Experience:
  
  Direct, proven experience in seismic interpretation within the Thrace Basin or similar gas-bearing clastic/overpressured rift basins is highly desirable.
• Technical Software
  
  Skills:
  
  Proficiency in industry-standard interpretation suites (e.g., Kingdom).
• Analytical & Computational
  
  Skills:
  
  Strong quantitative skills in AVO, seismic attributes, and reservoir geophysics.
• Language & Communication: Fluent in English (written and verbal) with excellent cross-disciplinary communication and reporting skills.
