Job description

One of our major oil & gas clients is looking for a contract Geologist to start on a 1-year contract. The role would be in office working Monday through Friday

Supported Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) and Low Carbon Solutions (LCS) initiatives by integrating geological, petrophysical, and reservoir engineering data to optimize reservoir performance and carbon storage opportunities. Collaborated with multidisciplinary teams to develop subsurface solutions that aligned with operational objectives, regulatory requirements, and sustainability goals.

Key Responsibilities:

• Developed and maintained static reservoir models to support reservoir characterization, field development planning, and carbon storage evaluations.
• Analyzed reservoir heterogeneity and subsurface uncertainties to improve reservoir management strategies and maximize asset value.
• Identified and evaluated EOR opportunities through geological interpretation, petrophysical analysis, and integrated subsurface studies.
• Supported reservoir surveillance, pattern optimization, and performance monitoring activities in collaboration with Operations and Low Carbon Solutions teams.
• Conducted geological assessments for carbon storage projects, balancing long‑term storage capacity with reservoir preservation objectives.
• Contributed to reserve and storage volume assessments, annual certification activities, and technical evaluations for internal and external stakeholders.
• Supported abandonment planning, subsurface risk assessments, and regulatory compliance efforts while ensuring adherence to Safety, Security, Health, and Environmental (SSHE) standards.
• Prepared technical documentation, audit support materials, and regulatory reports to facilitate informed business and operational decisions.
• Collaborated across geoscience, reservoir engineering, operations, and environmental teams to deliver integrated subsurface solutions and project objectives.
