Description du poste

We are actively looking for an enthusiastic, highly motivated and skilled Sr. Geophysicist with structural interpretation skills and exposure to QI. As Senior Geophysicist, you will play a pivotal role in delivering successful projects, collaborating with a multidisciplinary team. You will be responsible for contributing to technical work within petroleum and geothermal energy projects and in support of critical raw material prospection.

About the Role

We are actively looking for an enthusiastic, highly motivated and skilled Sr. Geophysicist with structural interpretation skills and exposure to QI.

Responsibilities

• Structural seismic interpretation and mapping with focus on the geological and engineering objectives
• Integration of information of different imaging approaches
• Apply seismostratigraphic principles or seismic texture recognition in support for lithological and stratigraphic predictions
• Supervise Quantitative interpretation, Poststack and prestack inversion for rock properties, seismic well ties
• Integration of principles of AVO / AVA / AVAZ / VVAZ into the interpretation and resulted geological models
• Seismic processing QC / QA with respect to the geological and technical targets and concepts
• Time to depth conversion and application of velocity models as determined from VSP, sonic integration and geological data and input to PreSDM velocity model building
• Data management, loading of seismic data, well information, logs
• Compilation of regular progress reports and project status
• Preparation of high-quality maps and reports
• Support for planning exploration targets and drilling.

Qualifications

• MSc or PhD in Geophysics, Geology or a related discipline
• Minimum 15 years of experience in energy sector

Required Skills

• Passionate and pro-active approach for geology and geophysics, with strong teamwork skills
• Strong practical knowledge of specific software :
• AspenTech (former Paradigm, former Emerson)
• Strong knowledge of geological concepts, lithology and rock properties in relation to structural deformation, or in relation to reservoir / seal pairs, capable to challenge geological well correlations
• Strong knowledge of seismostratigraphic principles and seismic texture recognition for facies and lithology prediction
• Knowledge of Quantitative Interpretation technologies and rock physics, rock property inversion
• Familiar with seismic imaging principles including azimuthal and offset substacks for a target specific interpretation
• Strong knowledge of carbonate geology and extensive experience in seismic interpretation of carbonates
• Knowledge of integration of AVO / AVA / AVAZ / VVAZ workflows
• Knowledge of seismic well ties workflows, time-depth-time and depth-to-depth conversions of seismic and interpretation data
• Excellent communication, presentation and documentation skills
• Fluency (written and spoken) in English, French and / or German is a plus
