Job description

Ready to make an impact? We’re hiring Geoscientists

Vår Energi is seeking experienced geoscientists to join our subsurface teams at one of our office locations. Successful candidates will be expected to work within multi-disciplinary teams and demonstrate a proven ability to add value by integrating key subsurface data to identify and characterise opportunities at the wellbore, reservoir, field, and regional scales.

We offer stimulating opportunities across both our operated and partner-operated portfolio.

Assignments may include a combination of the following:

• Integrating data and interpretations from a broad range of subsurface disciplines
• Developing consistent stratigraphic frameworks and depositional models to explain and predict reservoir facies distribution and quality
• Conducting seismic interpretation based on well-to-seismic ties, rock property analysis, and supported by seismic forward modelling
• Constructing and populating reservoir models to support development and depletion planning, well placement, and the identification of drilling opportunities
• Participating in internal and external peer reviews as required
• Representing the organisation in licence meetings with external stakeholders, as needed

Qualifications

• Minimum of five years’ relevant experience in subsurface characterisation
• Graduate degree (Master’s or PhD) in a relevant discipline
• Proficient user of Petrel software
• Fluent in written and spoken English
• Experience working on the Norwegian Continental Shelf

We are offering

• Challenging tasks in a dynamic and a strong competent environment with the opportunity to grow, learn and be creative

Contact person

As part of our standard recruitment process, background checks will be performed on all final candidates. For this position, Vår Energi will also assess the applicant’s security suitability, including affiliations to high-risk countries. Please note that the outcome of such assessments may affect the recruitment process and the possibility of employment.

As we are recruiting for multiple positions, we are reviewing applications on a continuous basis.

Vår Energi is one of the leading oil and gas companies in Norway and a major supplier of gas to Europe.

At a time when stable access to energy is a crucial part of European security policy, we have a particular responsibility to contribute with energy to millions of Europeans. At the same time, we have committed to ambitious climate targets, extensively reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

The challenges ahead are great. As are our ambitions. Working to supply energy has perhaps never been more important and meaningful than now.
