Geologist Jobs

About The Position

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Geology or Geoscience
• 5+ years of upstream oil & gas experience with a primary focus on unconventional (horizontal shale) development
• Demonstrated subsurface mapping, well planning, and development-targeting experience
• Proficiency with industry-standard geologic interpretation and mapping software (e.g. Petra, Kingdom, Petrel, ArcGIS)

Nice To Haves

• Master's degree in Geology or Geoscience
• Eagle Ford / Austin Chalk or analogous Gulf Coast unconventional experience
• Experience with spacing, parent–child, and well-performance analysis in partnership with reservoir engineering
• Working knowledge of petrophysics, seismic interpretation, and geomechanics
• Working data skills: Python or SQL, plus Spotfire or Power BI, on large well and production datasets
• Experiences integrating workflows with new technologies (AI)
• Geosteering familiarity (e.g. StarSteer)

Responsibilities

• Own structure, isopach, and reservoir-property maps for the Lower and Upper Eagle Ford (and Austin Chalk where relevant) across the asset
• Define landing zones, target windows, and stacking/spacing concepts with reservoir engineering; quantify geologic risk by location
• Maintain and high-grade the drilling inventory; support pad selection, sequencing, and the multi-rig development schedule
• Provide geologic inputs to type curves, reserves bookings, and the annual plan
• Compare results against prognosis and forecast (zone placement, lateral quality, early production) and explain the variance
• Identify geologic drivers of well performance (thickness, rock quality, clay, pressure, parent–child depletion) and feed them back into targeting and frac design
• Support refrac, workover, and infill candidate screening with geologic and depletion context
• Integrate logs, petrophysics, core, 3D seismic, geomechanics, and production data into consistent asset models and grids
• Keep geologic data and interpretations current, documented, and accessible to the asset team
• Pair geologic interpretation with the asset team's data-driven tools (well-performance models, type curves, depletion and spacing analytics) to test which geologic drivers move results
• Contribute to acquisition, trade, and partner-well evaluations as needed
• Act as the geologic point of contact for the Eagle Ford development program
• Connect the Eagle Ford asset team with Subsurface Innovation, operations geology, completions, reserves, and land, so information moves between teams as freely as it does within one
• Communicate clearly to technical peers and leadership; present recommendations at well reviews and planning meetings
