Job Description

JOB PURPOSE:

Reviews and evaluates geophysical/geological data in order to enhance understanding of geological structures with known hydrocarbon reserves and determine new hydrocarbon prospects preparing and analysing time, velocity and depth maps based on accumulated data. Designs, prepares and supervises any processing and/or acquisition of seismic data.

KEY ACCOUNTABILITIES: Analyses new data obtained from up-to-date seismic surveys utilizing the latest techniques in order to understand the subsurface structures with known hydrocarbon reserves. Includes updating parameters such as size, depth and closure of structure. Studies new data to determine the existence of any new prospects. Generates time (ISOCHRON) maps by taking time readings at specified geological formations and contouring equal values. Obtains velocity data for various readings from existing wells in specified formation, establishes velocity maps (ISO velocity) accordingly and uses above information to calculate and develop depth maps. Prepares and updates 'SHOT-POINT' location maps based on co-ordination of every seismic shot taken during surveys. Identifies potential areas for drilling exploration or delineation (data gathering) well, co-ordinates with geologists and prepares the geophysical proposals for exploration and/or delineation well, accordingly. Proposes any necessary attributes computation (including pre and post-stack inversions) to help in better interpreting reservoirs intervals or fluid changes follow-up. Follows-up with processing centre to ensure the timely receipt of results. Checks and accepts data submitted by contractors utilizing specialized processing techniques. Supervises the recording and processing of well velocity surveys conducted in the exploration and/or delineation wells

QUALIFICATIONS, EXPERIENCE, KNOWLEDGE & SKILLS: Minimum Qualification Bachelors' Degree in Geology.

Minimum Experience & Knowledge & Skills 8 years of experience in Geology and in interpreting Seismic data to solve complex problems.
