Job summary

Kelly Science, Engineering, Technology & Telecom is seeking experienced Geophysicists/Geoscientists to support a carbon capture and storage program at our Fortune 500 oil and gas client in Spring, TX. These roles require strong subsurface interpretation and geomodeling skills and involve multi-discipline collaboration.

Positions include long-term contract with primarily onsite duties, some remote flexibility, and potential for extension based on project needs.

Qualifications

5+ years of relevant geoscience experience; 10+ years preferred.
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Geology, Geophysics, Earth Sciences, Petroleum Geoscience, or a related field preferred.
Strong experience with subsurface interpretation, reservoir characterization, and integrated geoscience workflows.
Proficiency with Petrel, including seismic interpretation, well ties, log correlation, structural interpretation, and geological framework development.
Experience evaluating subsurface uncertainty, volumetrics, and geological risks.
Strong understanding of structural geology, stratigraphy, fault interpretation, and reservoir characterization.
Excellent analytical, communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills.
Ability to present technical findings and recommendations to experienced technical teams.

Responsibilities

Perform integrated geological and geophysical interpretation using seismic, well logs, core, fluid, and regional geological data.
Conduct structural and stratigraphic analysis and develop 3D reservoir characterization.
Build and maintain geological frameworks to support reservoir and geomodeling activities.
Evaluate CO2 storage potential, capacity, and volumetrics.
Characterize faults, seals, confining zones, and other subsurface features that may impact carbon storage.
Perform uncertainty analysis and develop scenarios to support subsurface decision-making.
Support appraisal well planning and identify opportunities to reduce subsurface uncertainties.
Integrate data across geology, geophysics, petrophysics, and reservoir engineering disciplines.
Communicate technical findings, risks, and recommendations to subject-matter experts and project teams.
Work independently and deliver high-quality technical results with limited day-to-day supervision.
