Senior Geologist: Depositional Systems & Stratigraphy Lead

Anton; Kuwait City; On-site; KWD 37,000 - 68,000; Full time

Job summary

Anton requires a Senior Consultant - Geologist to lead advanced depositional systems studies and integrate sedimentology, stratigraphy, and 3D modelling across large-scale basins. You will mentor multidisciplinary teams and deliver robust reservoir interpretations using core, logs, and seismic data.

This role emphasizes coordinating regional correlations, cross-disciplinary collaboration, and translating geological insights into actionable subsurface workflows for exploration and development

Qualifications

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

Responsibilities

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