Development Geologist

Role Purpose

• The Development Geologist provides high-quality development geology support for reservoir characterization, static modelling, well planning, field development and reservoir management to improve subsurface understanding, reduce uncertainty and maximize recovery from the Company's upstream
• assets.

Core Competencies

• Development geology
• Structural and stratigraphic interpretation
• Static geological modelling
• Well correlation characterization
• Volumetric assessment and reservoir
• Well planning and opportunity maturation Subsurface uncertainty and risk analysis Integrated field development
• Technical reporting and multidisciplinary collaboration

Key Performance Indicators KPIs

• Quality and currency of geological/static models
• Accuracy and timeliness of geological deliverables
• Contribution to successful well maturation and placement
• Reduction of subsurface uncertainty
• Quality of reserves and FDP geological inputs
• Technical assurance compliance
• Data quality and documentation

Key Responsibilities

•  Interpret and integrate well logs, core, seismic and production information to build robust geological understanding of reservoirs.
• Develop and maintain structural, stratigraphic and depositional frameworks for producing and development assets.
• Build, update and quality-assure static geological models for volumetric assessment, well planning and reservoir simulation
• Generate and mature development, infill and appraisal well opportunities in collaboration with reservoir engineers and geophysicists.
• Provide geological input to well prognosis, well placement, geosteering support and post-well evaluation.
• Assess geological uncertainty and risk and communicate implications for development decisions. Support reserves/resource estimation, Field Development Plans and reservoir management activities.
• Participate in integrated subsurface reviews, peer assists and technical assurance processes
• Maintain high-quality geological databases, maps, correlations and technical documentation
• Work collaboratively with Reservoir Engineering, Geophysics, Wells, Production and Facilities teams.

Qualifications & Experience

• Bachelor's Degree in Geology, Earth Sciences or a related geoscience discipline.
• Master's Degree in Petroleum Geoscience/Geology is an added advantage.
• Minimum 8-12 years relevant upstream E&P experience, including hands-on development geology and integrated subsurface studies
