<p>
Position summary</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
All aspects of geophysical technical work across Isabella, exploration &amp; appraisal and CCUS within multi-disciplinary subsurface team.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
Main duties &amp; responsibilities</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
Integrates well, geological, petrophysical, geophysical and other field data types as required to update </p>
<p>
subsurface understanding and associated operational risks from pore to play scale.</p>
<p>
Conducts appropriate analyses/studies including but not limited to structural and stratigraphic seismic </p>
<p>
interpretation, rock physics (AVO, attribute analysis), velocity analysis and depth conversion utilizing PETREL </p>
<p>
and other appropriate software (RokDoc, GeoTeric).</p>
<p>
Seismic interpretation and mapping in structurally complex areas with the ability to quantify impact of seismic </p>
<p>
imaging and velocity model uncertainty, especially in areas with poor data or complex geology.</p>
<p>
In collaboration with the wider geoscience community, uses a full range of seismic datatypes </p>
<p>
(impedance inversion data, pre- and post-stack attribute data) for reservoir characterization.</p>
<p>
Delivers relevant inputs to static, dynamic and geomechanical model(s) for generating and executing </p>
<p>
hydrocarbon development/ CCUS plans. </p>
<p>
Coordinates external studies, ensures that the work is performed according to company best practices </p>
<p>
(standards normally required by an operationally and commercially efficient operator) and applies study </p>
<p>
findings. </p>
<p>
Conducts prospective hydrocarbon reservoir /CCUS store evaluations including risk analysis and volume </p>
<p>
estimations (deterministic and probabilistic) within Company licensed acreage.</p>
<p>
Evaluates hydrocarbon/CCUS opportunities across the exploration, development and production/injection </p>
<p>
lifecycle (farm-ins, data rooms, open acreage ahead of licence rounds etc.).</p>
<p>
Evaluates requirements for seismic purchases/upgrades/re-processing options. </p>
<p>
Within multi-disciplinary team, evaluates and selects drilling candidates and compiles technical and business </p>
<p>
cases for investments.</p>
<p>
With corporate team, uses appropriate methods and software for risks and volumes, plus regional strategy </p>
<p>
factors to evaluate, compare and prioritize prospects in Company UK's portfolio within the global portfolio. </p>
<p>
Contributes to well planning (e.g. depth prognoses, data acquisition plans), operations support and post well </p>
<p>
analysis.</p>
<p>
When required, acts as a technical leader on projects, coordinating activities across disciplines and within JV </p>
<p>
partners. </p>
<p>
Ensures that all relevant information is stored appropriately, identifying and proposing improvements to the </p>
<p>
geological and geophysical databases.</p>
<p>
Assesses and tests new technologies and software.</p>
<p>
Contributes to technical proposals, reports and presentations to NSTA (stewardship), partners </p>
<p>
(workshops/TCMs) or internal processes (Decision Review Boards, Business Reviews, Exploration Reviews </p>
<p>
Investment Committee, and Peer Review) managers and technical authorities as requested.</p>
<p>
Joins technical peer reviews and lookbacks.</p>
<p>
Participates in technical meetings across Company's subsurface community to share best practices, influencing </p>
<p>
and advising on procedures and workflow standardization, inspiring and motivating colleagues. </p>
<p>
Provides technical support/mentoring to other geophysicists, geologists, graduates, interns and trainees.</p>
<p>
Acts as a representative in technical conferences, joint industry projects and workshops.</p>
<p>
The position might involve business trips, short or midterm, in company and contractor's offices. </p>
