Sr Geoscientist, International Exploration
About The Position
The Sr Geoscientist will demonstrate a record of varied technical exposure to many global basins & petroleum systems. They will provide geological and geophysical support for the international exploration team, including regional and sub-regional seismic interpretation, seismic mapping, qualitative / quantitative seismic interpretation as well as lead identification, prospect evaluation, and prospect maturation. The candidate should have a working knowledge of Petroleum Systems, Stratigraphy & Structural Geology. The ideal candidate will be a self-starter with a team-first approach, comfortable in a fast-paced environment and proficient in using seismic interpretation to generate and mature exploration concepts from regional interpretations to drill-ready prospects. A firm understanding of depositional systems, comfortable and proficient with integrating large varying datasets that span an entire basin. Plus, an ability and willingness to provide operational support while drilling. A solid understanding of geologic models for resource estimation and risk application utilizing statistical software such as RoseRA is required. Additional beneficial skills include demonstrated proficiency in The Kingdom Suite and Paleoscan. This role will work in our Houston Corporate office and may work up to two (2) days a week remote.
