About the role

Position Title: Senior Consultant - Geologist - Depositional Systems Specialist

Work Location: Kuwait

Department: On-sync Energy Management Services Company.

Job Responsibilities

1. Conduct detailed sedimentological, facies, and depositional systems analysis using core, cuttings, petrography, and well-log data.
2. Develop depositional environment models for clastic and carbonate systems at field and basin scales.
3. Apply sequence stratigraphy to define reservoir architecture, stratigraphic trapping mechanisms, and reservoir heterogeneity.
4. Develop regional and field-scale stratigraphic correlations, chronostratigraphic frameworks, and facies distribution models.
5. Integrate core, well-log, seismic, and other subsurface data to develop robust stratigraphic and depositional interpretations.
6. Construct high-resolution stratigraphic cross-sections, correlation panels, and depositional frameworks to support exploration and reservoir characterization.
7. Design, coordinate, and monitor laboratory studies related to sedimentology, petrography, biostratigraphy, and chemostratigraphy.
8. Translate depositional and stratigraphic interpretations into 3D static geological models, with emphasis on facies distribution, connectivity, and reservoir heterogeneity.
9. Integrate depositional systems and sequence stratigraphy concepts into digital geological modelling workflows to support subsurface evaluation and decision-making.
10. Collaborate with geologists, geophysicists, geochemists, petrophysicists, and reservoir engineers on integrated subsurface studies.
11. Provide technical guidance and mentoring to geoscience professionals and support knowledge transfer within multidisciplinary teams.
12. Prepare technical reports, interpretations, geological models, and presentations for exploration and reservoir studies.
13. Lead multidisciplinary technical activities and provide expert advice on complex sedimentological and stratigraphic challenges.

Qualification Requirements

1. Master’s or PhD degree in Geoscience, preferably in Sedimentology, Stratigraphy, Petroleum Geology, or a related discipline.
2. Minimum 20 years of professional Upstream Oil & Gas experience, with substantial experience in sedimentology, stratigraphy, and depositional systems.
3. Proven track record in depositional systems characterization and sequence stratigraphy within exploration and/or reservoir studies.
4. Strong experience integrating core, cuttings, well logs, seismic, petrographic, and biostratigraphic data.
5. Proven experience developing stratigraphic frameworks, facies models, reservoir architecture, and 3D static geological models.
6. Proficiency with industry-standard geological interpretation and modelling software such as Petrel or equivalent platforms.
7. Demonstrated experience leading multidisciplinary teams comprising geologists, geophysicists, geochemists, and other subsurface specialists.
8. International experience with major or independent E&P companies and/or research institutions is preferred.
9. Strong analytical, conceptual, problem-solving, strategic thinking, communication, and leadership skills.
10. Ability to integrate depositional systems and sequence stratigraphy into digital 3D geological modelling and integrated subsurface workflows.
11. Middle East experience is an advantage.
