Education and Experience

Master's degree in Geology or a related earth science. Ph.D. in Geology preferred; specialization in structural geology and geomechanics methods in one or more key areas: trap analysis, petroleum systems analysis, tectonics, rock mechanics experiments, laboratory analog modeling, structural framework building, and/or seismic structural interpretation; thorough knowledge of general techniques for quantitatively solving geological processes of rock deformation, , folding, faulting, natural fracturing, salt movement, hydraulic fracturing, or similar using computational methods (e.g., finite element, finite volume, boundary element) or kinematic (strain-based) approaches; must be highly regarded and accepted as an expert in their principle discipline by their peer group Background in geological carbon and hydrogen storage is a plus Ability to:
- consistently provide original and unique approaches and solutions to difficult and diversified geological problems to support technical leadership in the industry
- effectively communicate and disseminate advanced technical work and explain how the research supports business objectives (production, volume calculations, drilling, exploration risking, etc.). - interpret geological, paleontological and geophysical data as aligned with specialization. - create geological and simulation models for the calculation of reserves and reservoir simulation. - prepare professional level technical reports and memoranda
- demonstrate supplementary skills in the area of statistics and uncertainty analysis is desirable
- show a track record of publications in peer-reviewed journals is strongly preferred Proficiency in business software and in one more of the common reservoir modeling applications used in the oil and gas industry Typically, at least ten years of experience. Demonstrated experience in a breadth of multi-disciplinary subsurface applications that may include: hydrocarbon systems evaluation, source-rock analysis, unconventional reservoir, trap analysis, reservoir quality, , carbon and hydrogen storage, regional exploration, reservoir geomechanics, tectonics and structural evolution, statistical property (geo) modeling, porous media flow in hydrocarbon reservoirs Must be able to comprehend and communicate accurately, clearly, and concisely in English
