Job Description :
We are seeking a Geologist with expertise in Portfolio Evaluation. Specifically, the application will specialize in risk and resource evaluation, as wells as ranking and strategic planning for advancing unconventional exploration and assets from exploration to full field development. Candidate will be working within the Unconventional Resource Assessment and Data Solution Division (URADSD), within the Unconventional Resource Exploration and Characterization Department (URE&CD).URADSD consists of experienced geologists, geophysicists and petroleum engineers with subsurface experience, responsible for the assessment of corporate Unconventional portfolio of opportunities. The Division works collaboratively with subject matter experts (SMEs) within URECD to recommend the proper gathering of required geologic or geophysical data, advise on integrated analyses and support unconventional resource volumetric evaluations. The candidate should be comfortable advising on the advancement of undiscovered resource to discovered, recommending conversion of resources to reserves, and utilizing a structured derisking approach to assess unconventional resource opportunities from exploration and appraisal towards development. Candidate primary role will be to manage the unconventional portfolio through technical, risk, resource, and commerciality assessments to support strategic plans for de-risking of unconventional fields from Exploration to Development.The candidates will be required to perform the following: • Subsurface technical assessments of resource plays to ensure prospectivity.• Risk assessments to identify gaps in knowledge and quantify COS.• Resource assessments to confirm value and support reserve estimation.• Support reservoir engineers with geologic inputs into Commerciality Assessments.• Strategic planning to ensure the highest value plays are being de-risked and targets are being met.• Work closely with the Exploration & Characterization Divisions to support planning and execution of wells.• Evaluate current practices and identify opportunities for improvements. • Effectively communicate through presentations and written reports to technical peers and the management teams.• Provide recommendations and advise in your particular area of expertise. • Mentor younger staff and provide opportunities for knowledge sharing.The successful candidate will possess the following characteristics:• A Bachelor’s degree in Geology, Geophysics or related sciences; advanced degree is preferred.• 15 years of experience, with at least 5-10 years in unconventional plays, including shale or tight gas, with North American experience in multiple unconventional hydrocarbon producing basins required. We will consider candidates with more or less experience, depending on the quality of their experience. • A background in the play-based approach to evaluate tight sand and shale plays, evaluation of risk and resource assessment within unconventionals, and experience with strategic planning for unconventional appraisal and development is essential.• Experience managing and de-risking a portfolio of tight sand or shale opportunities from exploration through development, with a strong understanding of the geological and engineering factors that determine risk in unconventional plays is required.• Knowledge in the integration of sedimentology, depositional environments, petrophysics, geomechanics, basic geophysics and basic reservoir engineering is preferred.• Experience integrating basic reservoir engineering and geology data in evaluation tight and source rock reservoirs is preferred.• Previous experience working with reservoir engineers and reserve auditors to determine reserve and resource estimations is preferred.• Experience working with the production and drilling departments on well performance and optimization is preferred. • Experience working with Reservoir Engineering teams on Economics of Unconventional Field Development plans is preferred.
