Who is our client and your future employer?The company where energy is the opportunity!Our client is seeking a geologist or geophysicist with expertise in risk and resource evaluation, ranking, and strategic planning for advancing unconventional exploration and appraisal programs to full-field development projects. The candidate will be working within the Unconventional Resource Assessment and Data Solution Division (URADSD), and within the Unconventional Resource Exploration and Characterization Department (URECD).Your primary role will be to manage the unconventional portfolio through technical, risk, resource, commerciality assessments, and strategic plans to support the de-risking of unconventional fields from exploration to development.Minimum RequirementsBachelor's degree in Geology, Geophysics, or related sciences; an advanced degree is preferred.15 years of experience, with at least 5-10 years in unconventional plays, including shale or tight gas exploration, development, or strategic planning, across multiple unconventional hydrocarbon basins.A solid background in the play-based approach to evaluate tight sand and shale plays, evaluation of risk, and resource assessment within unconventional.Experience in managing and de-risking a portfolio of tight sand or shale opportunities from exploration through development, with a strong understanding of the geological and engineering factors that determine success within different unconventional plays.Knowledge in the integration of sedimentology, depositional environments, petrophysics, geomechanics, basic geophysics, and basic reservoir engineering is preferred.Experience integrating basic reservoir engineering and geology to tight and source rock reservoirs is preferred.Previous experience working with reservoir engineers and reserve auditors to determine reserve and resource estimations is preferred.Experience working with the production and drilling departments on well performance and optimization is preferred.Experience working with reservoir engineering teams on the economics of unconventional field development plans is preferred.Key ResponsibilitiesGeological technical assessments of resource plays to ensure productivity. Risk assessments to identify gaps in knowledge and quantify COS.Resource assessments to confirm value and support reserve estimation.Geologically support reservoir engineering with Commerciality Assessments.Strategic planning and monitoring to ensure the best plays are being de-risked and targets are being met.Work closely with the Exploration & Characterization Divisions to support planning and execution of wells.Evaluate current practices and identify opportunities for improvements.Effectively communicate through presentations and written reports to technical peers and management.Provide recommendations and advice in your particular area of expertise.Mentor younger staff and provide opportunities for knowledge sharing.
