Geologist, MidCon

WARWICK INVESTMENT GROUP LLC•Oklahoma City, OK

50d•Onsite

About The Position

The MidCon Development 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.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Geology, Geoscience, or Earth Science required
5+ years of experience in oil and gas development geology, with at least 3 years in unconventional shale plays
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
Strong communication and collaboration skills across technical and operational teams
Analytical thinker with attention to detail, a results-driven mindset and organized

Nice To Haves

Master’s degree with a focus in sedimentology/stratigraphy, petroleum geology or structural geology preferred
Experience in the MidCon (Woodford/Meramec/Sycamore/Cherokee) is strongly preferred
Experience with machine learning applications in geoscience or real-time drilling analytics preferred

Responsibilities

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
