Denver, United States Koloma Full time

Koloma is a geologic hydrogen company that leverages its technology, proprietary data, and human capital advantages to identify and commercialize these resources on a global scale. We are developing technologies that will enable the production of low cost, 24/7 available carbon-free hydrogen. Our team is led by seasoned energy executives and world-renowned technical thought leaders. We are looking for a Senior Exploration Geoscientist to join us


Ideal Candidate Requirements:

  • Minimum Master’s degree in Geophysics, Geology, or related field
  • 15+ years of experience in subsurface exploration, with a focus on prospecting and seismic interpretation, particularly with New Ventures or Frontier Exploration experience
  • Experience interpreting 2D and 3D seismic in a variety of extensional, compressional, and strike-slip structural regimes through a play-based exploration approach
  • Proficiency in using geophysical software such as Petrel, Kingdom, ArcGIS or equivalent
  • Experience in potential field methods, structural geology, or rock physics
  • Proven track record of successful prospect identification and probabilistic volume and risk evaluations, and a proven oil & gas finder
  • Commercial acumen and experience working with partners
  • Excellent communication and teamwork skills, with the ability to work in a fast-paced environment and in a geographically distributed team


Ideal Candidate Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience working in igneous rock provinces, including geoscientists from the mining or geothermal industries
  • Experience developing new methods and novel applications leading to Patent or Intellectual Property submissions
  • Experience with acquisition and processing of reflection seismic, particularly onshore data, and/or potential fields surveys


Job Responsibilities:

  • Conduct detailed geophysical and geological analysis and interpretation of 2D and 3D seismic data to generate geologic hydrogen prospects
  • Create velocity models for accurate depth converted maps
  • Use seismic attribute analysis and rock physics to delineate hydrogen prospects
  • Utilize potential field methods, including gravity, magnetic, and electromagnetic data to complement seismic interpretation
  • Recommend geophysical data acquisition programs and manage processing projects
  • Stay abreast of technological advancements in geophysics and implement innovative approaches to geologic hydrogen exploration challenges
  • Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, including geologists, geochemists, engineers, and regulatory professionals to assess the viability of prospects
  • Present findings to management and stakeholders, providing recommendations for drilling and exploration activities; collaborate with partners to execute desired work-programs


Onboarding Notes:

  • Koloma provides exceptional benefits including medical, vision, and dental and a retirement plan
  • This is an in-office role in Denver, Colorado although Columbus, Ohio based candidates may be considered. Koloma supports flexible schedules and remote work where practical, but maintaining our strong culture, focus and momentum requires team members to be in-office for at least 80% of working hours
  • There will be some travel required in this role
  • Industry-competitive compensation with significant stock option upside
