Exploration Geoscientist - Tight Gas/Light Tight Oil
Shell companies have been finding and producing oil and gas around the world for over a century. Today, we have interests in exploration and production ventures in more than 39 countries and employ approximately 19,000 staff This is a technically challenging work environment characterised by a continuing need for research, the pursuit of new technology, and the adoption of new ways of working. It demands people who will thrive in a culture that encourages and rewards innovation, collaboration and the ability to learn from success as well as failure.
Most of our work is done in the major EP hubs, which are located in the US, UK, Netherlands, Oman, Malaysia, Brunei and Nigeria, although opportunities exist in smaller units. In these hubs, fully integrated sub-surface studies are undertaken, covering the full EP business spectrum from regional, basin and greenfield evaluations to complete field development plans. Study durations range from quick opportunity screening studies or data-room visits to two year integrated studies.
Responsibilities:
- Identifying new unconventional resource plays,opportunities and exploration concepts at the play and basin scale,grounded by producing unconventional field analogs.
- Developing and maintaining an up-to-date understanding of the regional geology of focus basins around the globe.
- Definition and characterisation of key plays including basic play description,prospect inventories and yet-to-find assessments.
- Generation and evaluation of specific opportunities,including interpretation of 2D/3D seismic data.
- Collaboration with regional asset teams plus the Research and Technology departments.
- Maintaining an overview of technology developments (internal and external) and deploying fit-for-purpose new technology.
- Maintaining an awareness of competitor activities and a network with key external knowledge holders. Applying this knowledge to the understanding of petroleum systems and unconventional evaluation/operations.
- Active participation in appropriate Regional Knowledge Sharing Communities of relevance to unconventional,actively sharing learnings and insights on all focus basins and processes
The successful candidate(s) will work as part of an integrated team looking at some of the most exciting global opportunities in a rapidly developing part of the business.
Requirements:
- Seasoned E&P professional. Prior experience working with Tight Gas/Light Tight Oil would be an advantage.
- Advanced degree in geology or other geosciences discipline required (masters or higher).
- Strong technical and analytical skills with proven subsurface experience in a variety of stratigraphic and structural settings.
- Ability to communicate geological issues to other team members and customers.
- Workstation skills and ability to provide quality interpretations (2D and 3D) and log interpretation.
- An in-depth knowledge of depositional systems.
- Ability to evaluate and integrate hydrocarbon charge studies to unconventional evaluations.
- Operational experience and HSE awareness.
- Ability to collaborate with subsurface (RE,PT,geochem,WE), surface (facilities-cost engineering) and other non-technical disciplines.
Application Deadline: Monday 26 March 2012
