About the role

This is an ideal role for a senior or principle production geologist with a high level of hands on expertise in end-to-end static reservoir modelling. Success in this role will require the ability to leverage a combination of deep technical strengths and practical skills in all aspects of static model building and uncertainty management, including strong familiarity with seismic and structural geology. This is a key technical position within a multidisciplinary team of production geologists, reservoir engineers, production technologists and petrophysicists.

Position: Production Geologist

Location: Perth

Indicative Term of Contract: 12 months

As Senior / Principle Production Geologist you will:
• Leverage deep familiarity and modelling skills to plan and lead the build of a best technical
estimate, as well as probabilistic range, of structural and property models in Petrel (following
best practice workflows) for the highly faulted and structurally complex Crux field.
• Work in an integrated team to identify and implement technically robust and scaled updates
to legacy Petrel static models to incorporate latest production (Prelude), or development well
(Crux), insights for resource assessment, forecasting and reservoir management.
• Provide, and communicate the basis of, compliant resource bookings.
• Collaborate across interdisciplinary teams, with assurers and with global geoscience expertise
in support of business deliverables.
• Support and guide a geographically separate subsurface team to build a new set of Prelude
Petrel field static models.
• Regularly share progress of your model build activities with stakeholders and maintain an
evergreen work program to deliver model build activities according to an agreed timeframe.
• Be able to work in varied capacities including senior individual contributor, technical leader
within natural teams and technical coach to less experienced staff.
• Ensure Production Geology standards are maintained and that best practices are
implemented both in your own area of work and via contribution to technical excellence
within the Production Geology function of the client. This will include either leading or
participating in model framing events, integrated reservoir modelling review sessions, peer
support discussions, static and dynamic modelling reviews etc.
• The opportunity may exist to support the safe and flawless delivery of the Crux development
wells.

Requirements:

• At least 15 years of experience as a Production Geologist in the conventional hydrocarbon
industry.
• Deep reservoir modelling experience using Petrel (or equivalent software), including
experience in management of uncertainties and working with seismic volumes and
interpretations. Please provide relevant specific experience with Production Geoscience
modelling tools and workflows.
• You have a strong track record of robust technical delivery as a Production Geologist.
• You have considerable experience in the integrated reservoir modelling of West Australian
clastic reservoirs.
• You are a strong influencer and communicator.
• Best-in-class data & information management, and demonstratable willingness to
experiment with new workflows & efficiency.
• You are a self starter who is committed authentic, honest, open and transparent
communication.
• An established ability to positively and creatively impact team culture and delivery.
• A humble technical professional who is reliable and consistent in delivery of technical
projects and is open to continuing to learn and adapt.
• Strong communication and presentation skills with the ability to lead engagements and
integrate within a small but broadly skilled team.
• Minimum Qualified University Degree or equivalent.
• This position is being offered on Local Terms to candidates already eligible to work in
