Job description

Senior Geoscientist, Conventional Assets

Fort Worth, United States | Posted on 10/19/2026

CSI Recruiting is working with a Fort Worth-based E&P company, assisting in the search for an an experienced Senior Geoscientist to evaluate acquisition opportunities and identify development potential across its portfolio of conventional oil and gas assets. Based in Fort Worth, Texas, this position will work closely with the company's CEO, VP of Land & Business Development, Manager of Reservoir Engineering, and Manager of Operations.

The role has two primary areas of responsibility: leading the geologic and geophysical evaluation of potential acquisitions and developing plans to maximize the value of existing assets. The geographic focus will be Texas and Oklahoma, with a strong preference for candidates experienced in conventional oil and gas projects in these regions.

This is a hands-on technical role for an experienced geoscientist who brings sound subsurface judgment, strong analytical capabilities, and a collaborative approach to evaluating opportunities and advancing development projects.

Duties & Responsibilities

• Lead geologic and geophysical evaluations of acquisition opportunities, including data room reviews, independent assessments of development potential, and identification of key subsurface risks.
  
• Identify and evaluate conventional oil and gas development opportunities within existing company assets and adjacent acreage through 3D seismic interpretation, well log analysis, and regional geologic studies.
  
• Create and maintain structure, net pay, and reservoir maps using seismic interpretations, well logs, and updated well data.
  
• Evaluate reservoir quality, trapping mechanisms, seals, hydrocarbon migration, and other geologic conditions necessary for commercially viable oil and gas accumulations.
  
• Estimate hydrocarbon volumes and assess reserves and project economics, clearly communicating technical assumptions, risks, and uncertainty.
  
• Interpret and integrate well log, core, seismic, and well test data to develop and refine reservoir models.
  
• Collaborate with reservoir engineering to identify and select optimal development well locations.
  
• Work closely with operations personnel to plan and implement development projects.
  
• Update reservoir interpretations and maps as new drilling results, well data, and 3D seismic information become available.
  
• Utilize Kingdom Geoscience Software on a daily basis for seismic interpretation, mapping, and subsurface evaluations.
  
• Present technical findings, development recommendations, and acquisition assessments to company leadership to support informed investment and operational decisions.
  

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Geology, Geophysics, Geophysical Engineering, or a related discipline required; master's degree preferred.
  
• Minimum of 10 years of experience with an active exploration and production company developing domestic onshore oil and gas assets.
  
• Demonstrated experience with structural and stratigraphic interpretation of 3D seismic data for exploration and development projects.
  
• Strong preference for recent experience evaluating and developing conventional oil and gas reservoirs in Texas and Oklahoma.
  
• Proficiency in seismic interpretation, well log analysis, geologic mapping, reservoir characterization, and prospect evaluation.
  
• Experience using Kingdom Geoscience Software.
  
• Ability to integrate geologic, geophysical, engineering, and economic considerations into practical development recommendations.
  
• Strong analytical and communication skills, attention to detail, a collaborative working style, a strong work ethic, and a passion for petroleum geoscience.
