Job Overview: A leading global oil services Company, offering a broad range of services such as seismic data acquisition, processing, reservoir analysis/interpretation and multi-client library datasets, seeks a Reservoir Geophysicist for their expanding Reservoir Characterisation Group. Applicants are invited with at a minimum of 2 years in the oil and gas industry and experience in seismic inversion and rock physics. The Company will provide all required training and mentoring in technical disciplines and software.

The Company's highly established and reputable Reservoir Services includes geological, geophysical, reservoir engineering and petroleum economics teams. These teams deliver regional scale 3D interpretations, detailed integrated studies, prospectivity studies, quantitative interpretation, asset evaluations and license round support to oil company clients worldwide in an integrated set-up.

In your role, you will work alongside senior geoscientists performing reservoir characterisation studies. This will involve a range of activities from data QC (well, seismic, interpretation…); rock physics and AVO modelling; attribute analysis; depth conversion, through to seismic pre-stack inversion (2D, 3D and 4D) and lithology / fluid prediction. These results could be then incorporated into an Exploration Prospectivity Report for the end client.

operates a Professional Career Development Program for all employees with up to 5 years' experience and there is potential for overseas placements.

Responsibilities: Reporting to a Team Leader, you will be involved in the following activities:

• Become competent in the technologies, workflows and practices of the Reservoir Characterisation group.
• Working in an established team of geoscientists from junior to experts in reservoir characterisation / Quantitative Seismic Interpretation (QI), you will undertake tasks relating to reservoir characterisation studies.
• Working with global data sets, you will become knowledgeable in various hydrocarbon challenges, be involved in complex integrated projects, and learn of the various workflows to optimise prospectivity results.
• Strive to broaden your reservoir geophysics expertise working on a range of exploration and integrated appraisal/development projects.
• Be proactive in enhancing your technical and project management skills. You will be given every opportunity to excel in this role.
• Strive to keep abreast of industry best practices in relation to reservoir geophysics.

This role offers immense opportunities to broaden your reservoir geophysics expertise working in an integrated team of geoscientists on global projects. Great career progression in a corporate culture that recognises, rewards, and encourages achievement, leadership, integrity and reliability.

Preferences: The successful candidate will have:

• Degree in geology, geophysics or other geoscience subject essential, preferably geophysics. MSc or PhD advantageous.
• A minimum of 2 years' oil and gas industry work experience essential.
• Some experience in reservoir geophysics either in rock physics, AVO and/or seismic inversion techniques essential.
• An understanding of the seismic inversion (post/pre-stack) workflow, combining processed seismic, interpreted seismic and well data for the purpose of determining prospectively highly advantageous.
• Desire and aptitude to develop your reservoir geophysics skills essential - especially reservoir characterisation techniques.
• Previous Service Company consultancy work highly advantageous.
• Good project management skills with the ability to perform technical aspects of given projects in a professional and timely manner essential
• Good understanding of borehole seismic, wireline log interpretation, forward modelling, fluid substitution and seismic data pre-conditioning for reservoir characterisation advantageous.
• Highly flexible, motivated and an excellent team player.
• The ability to adapt to new project challenges and work practices working in an integrated multidisciplinary team.
• Good communication skills - the ability to listen and articulate technical findings.
• Good interpersonal skills - the ability to work at all levels within the group to accomplish goals.
• Self-motivated - must be able to work independently or as part of a team.
• Attention to detail and processes.
• Drive and ambition to succeed within reservoir services.
• Willingness to travel.
