The Senior Geophysicist will be responsible for providing geophysical support to the Carbonate Team and other teams within Mukhaizna Subsurface as required.
The Senior Geophysicist responsibilities will include, but are not limited to:
Geophysical interpretation of newly discovered and mature fields within Block 53 to support geological modeling.
Ability to integrate geophysical interpretation with geological understanding.
Seismic attribute analysis.
QA/QC of seismic data and seismic reprocessing projects.
Work closely with RMT GG in the planning of each Thuleilat well, including pre- and post-drilling reviews, with the aim of achieving zero sidetracks from spud to TD, including in BUS/laterals.
Involvement in well drilling activities, including structural prediction, hazard identification (e.g., faults, stringers, out-of-zone risks), and providing recommendations for well plan adjustments.
Collaborate with the team to identify the optimal location for proposed pilot holes.
Support geologists (GG) in understanding, ranking, and evaluating program oil, with the goal of avoiding high-risk areas (e.g., high water cut, high-pressure stringers, poor geology).
Support GG in investigating the presence, nature, extent, stratigraphic relationships, and potential of stringers found in the Thuleilat Field.
Provide geophysical support to the reserves portfolio within the block.
Coach junior and mid-career geophysicists to help them achieve their project goals.
Mentor job seekers and summer interns.
Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree in Geophysics or any related discipline.
Minimum of 15 years of industry experience as a geophysicist.
Experience in using Petrel and Landmark software.
Extensive experience in the identification and utilization of seismic attributes to identify fractures.
Extensive experience in development and operation.
Extensive experience in seismic reprocessing.
Skilled in seismic interpretations and mapping in pre-salt reservoirs.
Skilled in ensuring consistency between reservoir models and seismic.
Strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities with the ability to make technically and economically sound recommendations with incomplete information.
Creative thinker with a desire to challenge the status quo and conventional thinking, with the ability to implement new ideas, processes, and technologies.
Must be a team player with strong interpersonal skills and possess the ability to mentor others.
Strong communication skills with the ability to present work product in an effective manner.
Ability to manage multiple assignments concurrently and meet tight deadlines.
Must be able to work with other technical staff such as geologists, engineers, or technicians.
Must be able to assess critical seismic mapping necessary to answer the problem at hand.
