Job description

About the Role

Our client is seeking a highly skilled Geoscientist specializing in Seismic Interpretation to join their fully remote exploration team. This role is critical for identifying and evaluating potential hydrocarbon plays through advanced seismic data analysis. You will interpret 2D and 3D seismic data, integrate geological and geophysical information, and contribute to prospect generation for future drilling campaigns. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced geoscientist to work independently, leverage state-of-the-art technology, and contribute significantly to the company's exploration strategy from anywhere, supporting global operations.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform detailed interpretation of 2D and 3D seismic data to identify geological structures and stratigraphic features.
• Integrate seismic data with well logs, core data, and other geological information.
• Generate prospect maps and volumetric assessments for potential hydrocarbon accumulations.
• Utilize advanced seismic attributes and processing techniques to enhance subsurface imaging.
• Collaborate remotely with exploration managers, geologists, and reservoir engineers to validate interpretations.
• Stay current with industry best practices and new technologies in seismic interpretation.

Requirements

• Master's degree or PhD in Geophysics, Geology, or a related geoscience discipline.
• Minimum of 8 years of experience in seismic data interpretation within the oil and gas industry, preferably with offshore experience.
• Proficiency with seismic interpretation software (e.g., Petrel, Kingdom, HampsonRussell).
• Strong understanding of seismic acquisition, processing, and geological concepts.
• Proven ability to work independently and deliver high-quality results in a remote setting.

Benefits

• Competitive remote salary and comprehensive benefits package.
• Opportunity to work on challenging international exploration projects.
• Access to the latest geoscience software and high-performance computing resources.
• Flexible working hours and a supportive remote work environment.
• Direct impact on exploration strategy and success, contributing from your chosen location.
