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 to be used to build subsurface prediction models. The role requires collaboration with engineering colleagues on reservoir characterization, well planning, drilling execution and technology development.
