Responsibilities:

• As a subject matter expert, you will perform the following;
• Geological technical assessments of resource plays to ensure prospectivity.
• Risk assessments to identify gaps in knowledge and quantify COS.
• Resource assessments to confirm value and support reserve estimation.
• Geologically support reservoir engineering with Commerciality Assessments.
• Strategic planning and monitoring to ensure the best plays are being de-risked and targets are being met.
• 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 advise in your particular area of expertise.
• Mentor younger staff and provide opportunities for knowledge sharing.

Requirements:

• A Bachelor’s degree in Geology, Geophysics or related sciences; advanced degree is preferred.
• 15 years of experience, with at least 5-10 years in unconventional plays, including shale or tight gas exploration, development, or strategic planning, across multiple unconventional hydrocarbon basins, is required.
• A solid background in the play-based approach to evaluate tight sand and shale plays, evaluation of risk and resource assessment within unconventionals, is essential.
• Experience 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, is essential.
• 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.
• Candidates with more or less experience can potentially be considered, depending on the quality of their experience.
