Job description

Job Details: Level: Experienced, Job Location: Oklahoma City, OK 73116, Position Type: Full Time, Firm Overview

Warwick Investment Group is a private equity firm focused on investing in real assets. With approximately $1.5 billion in managed assets and a growing team of professionals, Warwick combines industry expertise with innovative technology, data analytics, and machine learning to drive intelligent investment decisions and maximize asset value.

Data is embedded in every aspect of our business. We leverage extensive public and private datasets to identify opportunities, optimize asset management strategies, and continuously evaluate risk. This position offers a unique opportunity to work cross-functionally with multiple departments while expanding your knowledge of the oil and gas industry.

Position Overview:

The south Texas Development Senior Geologist is responsible for optimizing horizontal drilling programs and field development on Warwick’s operated assets. This position integrates geologic and engineering data to identify high-quality landing zones, manage well spacing, and drive continuous improvement in field performance

The ideal candidate combines technical expertise in unconventional plays with strong cross-disciplinary communication skills and the ability to execute development plans efficiently in a fast-paced environment

Key Responsibilities:

Geologic Interpretation

• Build/maintain maps of target formations in and around operated units. This includes structure, isopach, OOIP/OGIP, GOR/phase/yield, BHP/Pgrad, etc.
• Integrate all operated and non-operated data into subsurface interpretation such as geosteering interpretations
• Have a good understanding of all uphole zones as potential geohazards to operations or upside potential. Map zones as needed
• Identify optimal landing zones and lateral targets for horizontal wells by studying offset wells. Intimate knowledge of all horizontal wells on and around operated units is critical

Well Planning & Execution

• Collaborate with geophysics, drilling, completions, and reservoir engineers (asset management team) to design and position horizontal wells within the asset
• Work closely with Operations Geologist to build pre-drill SOP’s and well plans to use when executing geosteering in the lateral
• Monitor geosteering efforts during drilling to ensure pre-drill plan is being executed effectively
• Conduct post-drill evaluations and ensure all geologic data from operations is stored appropriately and integrated into interpretations effectively. This also includes compiling offset well data as needed, working with the Land department to find ways to obtain

Reservoir Characterization & Data Integration

• Utilize petrophysical and rock mechanical properties information to support completion design and frac planning
• Work closely with data science and engineering teams to integrate production analytics and machine learning insights into geologic interpretation

Development Optimization

• Work with engineering teams to assess well spacing and sequencing strategies for full-field development
• Identify refrac, re-entry, and infill drilling opportunities based on reservoir performance
• Support annual reserves booking processes

Collaboration & Communication

• Present geologic interpretations, risk assessments, and drilling recommendations to management and Investment Committee
• Participate in interdisciplinary team meetings and asset reviews
• Maintain and manage geological databases, ensuring accuracy and accessibility for cross-functional teams
• Collaborate with finance/investment team members

Qualifications:

Education:

• Bachelor’s degree in Geology, Geoscience, or Earth Science required
• Master’s degree with a focus in sedimentology/stratigraphy, petroleum geology or structural geology preferred

Experience:

• 6+ years of experience in oil and gas development geology, with at least 3 years in unconventional shale plays
• Experience in South Texas (Eagle Ford/Austin Chalk) is strongly preferred

Technical Skills:

• Proficiency in geologic software (Geographix preferred) and/or Geosteering/well planning software (ROGII’s StarSteer strongly preferred)
• Knowledge of geosteering operations and mud log data interpretation
• Familiarity with seismic data interpretation
• Understanding of geomechanics, frac gradients and completions-related data
• Familiarity with Spotfire or data visualization platforms for trend analysis and production data integration
• Experience with machine learning applications in geoscience or real-time drilling analytics preferred

Soft Skills:

• Strong communication and collaboration skills across technical and operational teams
• Analytical thinker with attention to detail, a results-driven mindset and organized
