** Repsol is seeking a Sr. Exploration Geoscientist to join the Exploration Americas HUB team. This role will be based onsite from the office in The Woodlands, TX.*
* ** Purpose of the Role
** Identify, evaluate, and mature hydrocarbon exploration opportunities by integrating geophysical and geological information, primarily seismic and well data.  The candidate should have a proven track record as an explorationist and be technically self-sufficient throughout the exploration cycle. The role requires a hands-on explorationist capable of independently generating and maturing drillable prospects, while providing technical assurance, resolving complex subsurface challenges, and transferring critical knowledge across the organization.

** Key Responsibilities**  ### Opportunity Identification and Prospect Generation
* Conduct prospectivity screening to identify new exploration opportunities.
* Apply rock physics, AVO/AVA analysis, seismic attributes, facies classification and geobody extraction techniques.
* Interpret and evaluate onshore and offshore leads and prospects.
* Assess new blocks offered through licensing rounds and data rooms.  ### Prospect Characterization and Maturation
* Perform advanced structural and strati graphic seismic interpretation.
* Integrate geophysical and geological information to build consistent subsurface and structural models.
* Identify and evaluate DHIs using the SAAM methodology.
* Apply seismic characterization, inversion and property estimation to support prospect evaluation.
* Conduct velocity analysis and depth conversion.
* Assess petroleum system elements, estimate hydrocarbon volumes and evaluate exploration risks.  ### Well Planning and Drilling Support
* Prepare technically substantiated exploration well proposals.
* Provide G&G input to well design and planning.
* Deliver real-time geophysical support during drilling and conduct post-drill evaluations.
* Supervise borehole seismic activities and support VSP acquisition projects.
* Contribute to development well proposals where required.  ### Geophysical Acquisition and Processing
* Monitor and provide technical support for 2D and 3D land and marine seismic acquisition and processing projects.
* Coordinate seismic processing and post-processing activities.
* Perform processing QC, including illumination studies, multiple attenuation, PSDM/RTM workflows, tomography updates and mute picking.
* Ensure seismic products are suitable for interpretation, characterization and prospect evaluation.  ### Technical Communication
* Prepare clear technical reports and presentations documenting interpretations, uncertainties, risks and recommendations.
* Present and defend exploration opportunities, prospect evaluations and well proposals before technical and management stakeholders.
* Communicate complex technical issues clearly and support technically informed decision-making.
* Represent the Company, where appropriate, in technical forums, professional networks and…
