Job summary

Sofomation in India seeks an experienced Geologist to lead subsurface interpretation, map development, and reservoir characterization. You will integrate well and seismic data to build comprehensive geologic models and support field development planning.

The role requires a Master’s in Geology with 7-10 years of relevant experience, and proficiency in Petrel is essential for 3D geomodeling and reservoir workflows. Collaboration with engineers to mature well locations is expected.

Qualifications

• Master's degree in Geology required.
• 7-10 years of relevant experience required.

Responsibilities

• Develop detailed geological maps and cross-sections by integrating well and seismic data to provide a comprehensive subsurface understanding.
• Conduct in-depth reservoir characterization studies and generate 3D static geomodels through the integration of geophysical, geological, petrophysical, and dynamic reservoir data.
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of existing models, develop and maintain workflows, perform volumetric calculations, and calibrate models to dynamic data to ensure accuracy and reliability.
• Contribute to the preparation of field development plans, providing geological insights and recommendations.
• Provide input to the identification, justification and review of drilling opportunities
• Collaborate with reservoir and drilling engineers to mature well locations to a drill-ready status, ensuring all geological considerations are addressed.
• Provide support during well operations, including well planning, preparation of geological prognoses, well placement, monitoring, and geo-steering to optimize drilling outcomes.
• Demonstrate a strong understanding of Geophysics, Petrophysics, and Reservoir Engineering and integration of this knowledge.
• Provide support to the well and reservoir management plans and contribute to the optimization of field performance.
• Prepare, present and justify technical proposals to management, joint venture partners, and regulatory boards.
