Role:

• The candidate will work full time in a subsurface multi-disciplinary team that provides technical input to field evaluation, development planning and exploration/ appraisal activities in the company concession blocks.

Main tasks:

• Play a lead role in all geophysical matters within the company
• Be an integral part of the team, actively taking part in field evaluation work and in exploration, appraisal and development planning activities
• Responsible for quantitative seismic interpretation including work on structural settings, seismic attribute analysis, seismic inversion, velocity modelling
• Plan and monitor seismic data acquisition and (re)processing work as appropriate
• Perform geophysical interpretation of seismic and other data for input to reservoir modelling/ simulation and characterisation along with volumetric/ reserves work and for support to drilling activities
• Lead/ provide input as appropriate to field opportunity identification including small lead/ oil potential reviews
• Plan and monitor borehole seismic/ VSP survey activities
• Plan/ provide input to and monitor site survey activities
• Provide input to well proposals/ drilling programs including input to detailed well locations and trajectories
• Work closely with external parties, including contractors and partners, on all geophysical matters
• Identify and apply suitable techniques for seismic reprocessing/ geophysical reservoir characterisation

Qualifications and experience:

• A geophysicist/ seismic interpreter with significant experience in 2D/ 3D seismic interpretation, sound knowledge of structural geology and quantitative geophysical techniques is required.
• Understanding of quantitative seismic interpretation including seismic attribute analysis, seismic inversion to map stratigraphic prospects and predict reservoir/ reservoir property distribution is required. 
• Geophysicist with a minimum of 15 years experience in integrated 2D and 3D seismic interpretation
• Strong understanding of petroleum geology and good knowledge of structural geology
• Thorough understanding of quantitative geophysical techniques for DHI identification and reservoir characterisation
• Knowledge of integrated field study methodologies
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills
• Proficient in written and spoken English
• Strong abilities to cope with pressure
• An excellent ability to work as a team player in a multi-disciplinary environment
