The Role
Develops field-scale reservoir characterizations, evaluates appraisal and development opportunities, integrates seismic, well, core, fluid, and geological data, and supports drilling and well-planning programs. Collaborates with multidisciplinary engineering teams to create subsurface interpretations, assess risks and uncertainties, plan developments, mature prospects, and guide business investment decisions. The role requires quantitative geoscience judgment and experience with tools such as Kingdom, Petra, or Petrel. Unconventional reservoir and Permian Basin experience are preferred.

Development and Production Geoscientist Contractor Job Description
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 used to build subsurface prediction models.
The role requires collaboration with engineering colleagues on reservoir characterization, well planning, drilling execution, and technology development.
