3D Geological Modeller

Position Description:

Responsibilities include:

• Provide technically accurate and geologically sound reservoir descriptions for the deepwater Oil Fields that incorporate sufficient detail to meet objectives.

• Build, update and or provide input to fully integrated geological models, including accurate fault modeling, for input into reservoir simulation utilizing Petrel software. Incorporate sufficient detail to meet key value drivers and project milestones.

• Optimize appraisal/development well locations in conjunction with the geophysicist(s) and reservoir engineer(s) using Petrel as the common work platform.

• Conduct resource assessments to guidelines for all oil and gas fields and provide technical inputs into ARPR submissions.

• Provide geological input to drilling programs for appraisal and development wells (Geological X sections, correlations and facies models).

• Provide geological input to well workover/recompletion proposals and activities.

• Prepare and present technical data to partners during all stages of project evaluation, well proposals, Field Development Plans and project implementations, to achieve endorsements and approvals for proposed work activities.

• Work closely with drilling engineers, operations geologists, petrophysicists and reservoir engineers on all aspects of well planning and implementation.

• Provide training and mentoring for technical knowledge and skills development for junior geologists and graduate trainees.

• Represent the company at technical committee meetings and government meetings as required.

Qualifications/Experience:

The following skills, qualifications and experience are required:

• University Degree/Master’s Degree (or higher) in Geology is required.

• A minimum of 15 years of working experience in an exploration and production or service related company on field developments is essential.

• Knowledge of deepwater Sabah geology and experience of Sabah fields is a significant advantage.

• Familiarity with reservoir parameter analysis (porosity, permeability etc).

• Proven experience building fault and 3D geo-cellular models using the Petrel software essential, including geological correlations, facies analysis and well planning.

• Proven experience in building a large variety of 2D and 3D geo-cellular models that meet a range of project objectives from those requiring very detailed facies models to those requiring coarse slab like models.

• Proven experience in “QC”ing models so that they integrate sufficient geological and dynamic data to meet project objectives.

• Previous exposure to a broad range of geoscience skills essential. (i.e. reservoir geological modelling (2D & 3D), reservoir property mapping, net pay calculations, well planning, Sedimentology, Sequency Stratigraphy and Petrophysics).

• Proven experience in the use of an industry standard mapping software (e.g. PetroSys, CPS3, ZMAP, etc.) is an advantage.

• Proven experience in the use of an industry standard geological interpretation software (e.g. Stratlog, StratWorks, GeoScene, Terralog etc.) is an advantage.

• The ability to present conclusions and recommendations clearly and succinctly and, when necessary, in non-technical language.

• Demonstrated experience in transferring knowledge on how to carry out and incorporate reservoir characterization into 3D geo-cellular models so they meet both project technical objectives and project milestone objectives.

• Work effectively within the team.

• Self motivated with a proven record of achieving targets

• Proven communication and presentation skills

• Fluent in English-written and spoken
