Senior Geologist

We are seeking a highly experienced Senior Geologist to join our Unconventional Resource Assessment and Data Solution Division (URADSD) in the Unconventional Resource Exploration and Characterization Department (URECD).

• Conduct geological technical assessments of resource plays to ensure productivity and identify areas for improvement.
• Perform risk assessments to identify gaps in knowledge and quantify costs of ownership (COS).
• Carry out resource assessments to confirm value and support reserve estimation.
• Collaborate with reservoir engineering teams to support commerciality assessments and strategic planning.
• Work closely with the Exploration & Characterization Divisions to support planning and execution of wells.
• Evaluate current practices and identify opportunities for improvements.
• Effectively communicate through presentations and written reports to technical peers and management.
• Provide recommendations and advice in your particular area of expertise.
• Mentor younger staff and provide opportunities for knowledge sharing.

• Bachelor's degree in Geology, Geophysics, or related sciences; an advanced degree is preferred.

• A solid background in the play-based approach to evaluate tight sand and shale plays, evaluation of risk, and resource assessment within unconventional.
• Experience in managing and de-risking a portfolio of tight sand or shale opportunities from exploration through development, with a strong understanding of the geological and engineering factors that determine success within different unconventional plays.
• Knowledge in the integration of sedimentology, depositional environments, petrophysics, geomechanics, basic geophysics, and basic reservoir engineering is preferred.
• Experience integrating basic reservoir engineering and geology to tight and source rock reservoirs is preferred.
• Previous experience working with reservoir engineers and reserve auditors to determine reserve and resource estimations is preferred.
• Experience working with the production and drilling departments on well performance and optimization is preferred.
• Experience working with reservoir engineering teams on economics of unconventional field development plans is preferred.
