Descripción de la vacante

Placements24 is seeking a Senior Exploration Geoscientist to lead seismic interpretation, prospect generation, and risk assessment in frontier and mature basins. Based in a regional office, you’ll collaborate with a multidisciplinary team to define exploration strategies and identify high-potential targets.

The role emphasizes integrated geological modeling, data quality, and advanced subsurface imaging, offering growth and exposure to cutting-edge technologies in a dynamic oil & gas environment.

Formación

• Master's or Ph.D. in Geophysics, Geology, or a related geoscience discipline.
• Minimum of 7 years of progressive experience in hydrocarbon exploration geoscience.
• Expert proficiency in seismic interpretation software (e.g., Petrel, GeoGraphix, Kingdom Suite).
• Strong understanding of seismic processing, geological modeling, and attribute analysis.
• Demonstrated experience in prospect generation and risk assessment.
• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills with a keen eye for detail.
• Effective communication and presentation skills, capable of conveying complex technical information.
• Ability to work independently and as part of a collaborative team.
• Familiarity with South African geological basins is a significant advantage.
• Must possess valid work authorization for South Africa.

Responsabilidades

• Interpret 2D and 3D seismic data to identify and delineate hydrocarbon prospects and plays.
• Perform detailed geological and geophysical attribute analysis to assess prospectivity and reduce uncertainty.
• Integrate diverse geological and geophysical datasets, including well logs, core data, and gravity/magnetic data.
• Develop and refine geological models and basin analyses to understand subsurface structures and stratigraphy.
• Generate play fairway maps and prospect evaluations for exploration opportunities.
• Collaborate with exploration managers and other geoscientists to define regional exploration strategies.
• Present geological and geophysical interpretations and prospect recommendations to management and technical committees.
• Stay current with the latest exploration technologies, software, and industry trends.
• Mentor junior geoscientists and contribute to team knowledge sharing.
• Ensure data quality and consistency throughout the exploration workflow.
