About the Job
To provide high level geoscience technical leadership for the exploration, development and production activities of the asset/team.
Key Opportunities
Lead and advise the geoscientists within the team to identify, mature and propose economically attractive exploration/development opportunities for drilling through seismic interpretation and mapping of key stratigraphic levels, leading to products such as time maps, velocity maps and depth maps, and generate attribute analysis maps of seismic amplitudes and other key attributes (incl. AVO etc.) derived from seismic data.
Provides expert advice on geophysical / geological techniques to asset staff and management and provides first line QA/QC for all technical deliverables within the asset/team.
Functional oversight of all technical input into geotechnical documents and well operations
Ensure that all geophysical/geological uncertainties and risks are incorporated into forward exploration, appraisal and field development programs and are incorporated into any estimates of reserves ranges generated by the group.
Accountable for defining and delivering discipline-specific work scopes within subsurface work programmes, ensuring full implementation of company’s Subsurface Policies and Standards and related processes covering HSSE, EAC, VAF etc, incorporating all geological uncertainties.

BSc in an Earth Science discipline or its equivalent; an MSc would be an advantage and highly preferred
8-10 years experience in a reputable exploration/production company, preferably IOC.
JV Partnership and PSC operations experience will be highly desirable
Broad experience of working globally in different geological settings – clastics, carbonates, passive margins and track record of contributing to subsurface projects in multiple basins, plays, etc.
Proven experience in generating well proposals and monitoring and driving exploration well delivery in a variety of geologic settings.
Proven experience of subsurface evaluation and leadership skills
Proven experience in the use of the latest exploration software for prospect maturation
Broad Knowledge of other subsurface disciplines and non-seismic techniques
Knowledge of exploration drilling and/or seismic operations and processing would be desirable
Broad experience of working globally in different geological settings – clastics, carbonates, passive margins and track record of contributing to subsurface projects in multiple basins, plays etc.
Experience of Stratigraphic/Structural reservoirs would be an advantage.
Proficient in the use of seismic interpretation and development systems.
Ability to use all relevant interpretation software for prospect maturation, and quick turnaround time from lead identification to well proposal generation.
