About The Position

CSI Recruiting is assisting a Fort Worth-based E&P company in recruiting an experienced Senior Geoscientist to evaluate acquisition opportunities and identify development potential across its conventional oil and gas portfolio. Based in Fort Worth, Texas, the role works closely with the CEO, VP of Land & Business Development, Manager of Reservoir Engineering, and Manager of Operations. The role focuses on leading geologic and geophysical evaluations of potential acquisitions and developing plans to maximize the value of existing assets. Its geographic focus is Texas and Oklahoma, with a strong preference for experience in conventional oil and gas projects in those regions. This is a hands-on technical position requiring sound subsurface judgment, strong analytical capabilities, and a collaborative approach to evaluating opportunities and advancing development projects.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Geology, Geophysics, Geophysical Engineering, or a related discipline.
Minimum of 10 years of experience with an active exploration and production company developing domestic onshore oil and gas assets.
Demonstrated experience with structural and stratigraphic interpretation of 3D seismic data for exploration and development projects.
Proficiency in seismic interpretation, well log analysis, geologic mapping, reservoir characterization, and prospect evaluation.
Experience using Kingdom Geoscience Software.
Ability to integrate geologic, geophysical, engineering, and economic considerations into practical development recommendations.
Strong analytical and communication skills, attention to detail, a collaborative working style, a strong work ethic, and a passion for petroleum geoscience.

Nice To Haves

Master's degree.
Recent experience evaluating and developing conventional oil and gas reservoirs in Texas and Oklahoma.

Responsibilities

Lead geologic and geophysical evaluations of acquisition opportunities, including data room reviews, independent assessments of development potential, and identification of key subsurface risks.
Identify and evaluate conventional oil and gas development opportunities within existing company assets and adjacent acreage using 3D seismic interpretation, well log analysis, and regional geologic studies.
Create and maintain structure, net pay, and reservoir maps using seismic interpretations, well logs, and updated well data.
Evaluate reservoir quality, trapping mechanisms, seals, hydrocarbon migration, and other geologic conditions necessary for commercially viable oil and gas accumulations.
Estimate hydrocarbon volumes and assess reserves and project economics, communicating technical assumptions, risks, and uncertainty.
Interpret and integrate well log, core, seismic, and well test data to develop and refine reservoir models.
Collaborate with reservoir engineering to identify and select optimal development well locations.
Work with operations personnel to plan and implement development projects.
Update reservoir interpretations and maps as new drilling results, well data, and 3D seismic information become available.
Use Kingdom Geoscience Software for seismic interpretation, mapping, and subsurface evaluations.
Present technical findings, development recommendations, and acquisition assessments to company leadership to support investment and operational decisions.
