Onsite Regional Geophysicist - Frontier & Mature Basins

DeGolyer and MacNaughton; Islamabad; On-site; PKR 3,000,000 - 6,000,000; Full time

Job summary

DeGolyer and MacNaughton invites applications for a Regional Geophysicist to perform integrated seismic interpretation across frontier and mature basins. The role emphasizes strong geological reasoning, regional data integration, and documenting uncertainties.

The position is project-based at the client’s premises in Islamabad, Pakistan, working within a multidisciplinary D&M team alongside local and expatriate professionals and client representatives.

Qualifications

• Ability to interpret 2D/3D seismic data including horizon picking and fault interpretation.
• Calibrate wells to seismic data; generate synthetic seismograms and check-shot/VSP calibrations.
• Build velocity models and perform time-to-depth conversions with uncertainty assessment.
• Integrate seismic with gravity, magnetic, well and geological data.
• Implement amplitude attributes, coherence, curvature, and spectral decomposition with AVO limitations.
• Prepare maps, sections, and play fairways under PBE frameworks.
• Document interpretation decisions, uncertainties, and workflows for reproducibility.

Responsibilities

• Interpret 2D and 3D seismic data with horizon picking and fault interpretation.
• Develop regional interpretations across thrusts, folds, and inversion structures.
• Interpret seismic stratigraphy and tie to wells; assess depth with uncertainty considerations.
• Build velocity models and convert time to depth; communicate uncertainties.
• Integrate seismic with gravity, magnetic, and geological data.
• Apply seismic attributes; understand limits of AVO/inversion.
• Prepare clear maps/sections and reports; ensure reproducibility and handover.
