• Collaborate with reservoir and production engineers to optimize field development and production strategies.
• Prepare geological reports and presentations for management, highlighting key reservoir characteristics and production enhancement recommendations.
• Provide geological support for operational activities and well planning on existing fields.

Requirements

• Master's degree in Geology or a related earth science field.
• Minimum of 7 years of experience in production geology, focusing on mature fields and optimization.
• Proficiency with geological modeling software (e.g., Petrel, GeoGraphix) and petrophysical interpretation tools.
• Strong understanding of reservoir characterization techniques and production logging analysis.
• Experience in developing geological models that integrate production data.
• Excellent communication and teamwork skills, suited for a hybrid work arrangement in Kimberley.

Benefits
