Senior Geoscientist, Conventional Assets

The role has two primary areas of responsibility: leading the geologic and geophysical evaluation of potential acquisitions and developing plans to maximize the value of existing assets. The geographic focus will be Texas and Oklahoma, with a strong preference for candidates experienced in conventional oil and gas projects in these regions.

This is a hands-on technical role for an experienced geoscientist who brings sound subsurface judgment, strong analytical capabilities, and a collaborative approach to evaluating opportunities and advancing development projects.

Duties & Responsibilities

• Lead geologic and geophysical evaluations of acquisition opportunities, including data room reviews, independent assessments of development potential, and identification of key subsurface risks.
  
• Identify and evaluate conventional oil and gas development opportunities within existing company assets and adjacent acreage through 3D seismic interpretation, well log analysis, and regional geologic studies.
  
• Create and maintain structure, net pay, and reservoir maps using seismic interpretations, well logs, and updated well data.
  
• Evaluate reservoir quality, trapping mechanisms, seals, hydrocarbon migration, and other geologic conditions necessary for commercially viable oil and gas accumulations.
  
• Estimate hydrocarbon volumes and assess reserves and project economics, clearly communicating technical assumptions, risks, and uncertainty.
  
• Interpret and integrate well log, core, seismic, and well test data to develop and refine reservoir models.
  
• Collaborate with reservoir engineering to identify and select optimal development well locations.
  
• Work closely with operations personnel to plan and implement development projects.
  
• Update reservoir interpretations and maps as new drilling results, well data, and 3D seismic information become available.
  
• Utilize Kingdom Geoscience Software on a daily basis for seismic interpretation, mapping, and subsurface evaluations.
  
• Present technical findings, development recommendations, and acquisition assessments to company leadership to support informed investment and operational decisions.
  

​

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Geology, Geophysics, Geophysical Engineering, or a related discipline required; master's degree preferred.
  
• Minimum of 10 years of experience with an active exploration and production company developing domestic onshore oil and gas assets.
  
• Demonstrated experience with structural and stratigraphic interpretation of 3D seismic data for exploration and development projects.
  
• Strong preference for recent experience evaluating and developing conventional oil and gas reservoirs in Texas and Oklahoma.
  
• Proficiency in seismic interpretation, well log analysis, geologic mapping, reservoir characterization, and prospect evaluation.
  
• Experience using Kingdom Geoscience Software.
  
• Ability to integrate geologic, geophysical, engineering, and economic considerations into practical development recommendations.
  
• Strong analytical and communication skills, attention to detail, a collaborative working style, a strong work ethic, and a passion for petroleum geoscience.
