Sr. Production Geologist

Have active participation looking for solutions to field production problems, focused on searching geological answers to identify, quantify and understand the different mechanisms acting over reservoir performance. He/She is co-responsible to identify field development opportunities, with a full participation in the FDP preparation and execution. Responsible to bring to subsurface team the accurate geological analysis in order to quantifying uncertainties to risk in the decision-making process. Monitor the execution of field operations and data delivery opportunely. He/she should help on the reservoir characterization from structural and stratigraphic point of view, through interpretations and geological modeling, required to estimate field reserves, helping in the field understanding, and supporting opportunities to be included in the portfolio.

Position requires as deep understanding of Sequence Stratigraphy concepts, because stratigraphic framework and reservoir architecture should be developed below these concepts. Correlations should be validated with seismic, pressure data (MDT/XPT) and reservoir performance. Participate in the static geological model construction and updating. He/she is responsible for geological tops or picks, prepare well correlations, prepare sand mapping, make OOIP calculations, and support special studies for stress analysis, support sismo-stratigraphy studies. Support on the core descriptions and integrate to reservoir model characterization. Locate or prepare analogs for reservoir comprehension. It should be a technology-oriented person giving recommendations for new technology introduction to reduce geological uncertainties and improving reservoir understanding.

Requirements

• A Degree in Geology, B.A. as minimum, master's degree is recommended.
• At least 10 years' experience in Production and Development Geology.
• Strong knowledge in Petroleum Geology, Structural Geology, Stratigraphy, Sedimentology, Solid background in Reservoir and Production engineering, Petrophysics, Geomechanics and Geochemistry.
• Geotechnical integration and interpretation software skills.
• Software skills on Petrel or similar.
• Field experience is mandatory.
• Understanding of drilling and completion technology.
• Leadership, able to make recommendations and suggestions in the decision-making process.
• Communication efficiently is a requirement. Initiative, creative, dynamic, responsible, open to new ideas and technology, team worker.
• Able to mentor, coach and supervise junior geologists.

REPORTING:

• Responsible for geological information data management in the Sub-surface Team.
• Bring support for special data acquisitions. Define, prepare, and execute work programs for G&G team.
• Mentoring younger members to understand field production problems and solutions.
• Participate generating and updating the geological model as a part of integrated static model, updating stratigraphic, sedimentological, structural information and fluids data.
• Define reservoir continuity and field compartments. Plan, acquire and interpreting core data and special geological tools as CMR or FMI, to improve reservoir understanding, production performance and hydrocarbons quantification.
• Perform facies analysis and build sedimentological model.
• Determine Diagenetic evidence and prepare a diagenetic model is required. Responsible for geological well tops at different levels.
• Prepare sedimentological maps and properties map. Build 3D Geological Model. Geological Data Management for Subsurface Team.
• QA/QC core data, logs, and tests. Coordinate conventional and special core analysis.
