Senior Geophysicist I

Job PurposeProvide all required geophysical interpretation to produce reliable, accurate time and depth structure maps as a basis for well planning, reservoir modeling and reserves estimation.Capable to independently integrate geological and reservoir engineering data with available geophysical description to deliver a coherent subsurface description of field of responsibilities.Responsible for generating a ranked prospect inventory for Cheleken asset by mapping out different leads and prospects using different seismic data sets.Provide risk assessments and recommendations of appraisal and exploration portfolio based on the geophysical analysis.Provide geophysical expertise and technical oversight to support the progression and execution of Cheleken appraisal and exploration inventory.Oversee seismic processing programs ensuring the delivery of a high-quality, timely and cost-effective product.Provide geophysical expertise required for the implementation of Field Development Plan.Supervise in-house and third-party geophysical studies to be carried out on behalf of the company.Job ResponsibilitiesDelivering safe operations by ensuring all subsurface uncertainties and risks are well communicated and considered by the drilling and engineering teams.Assess subsurface risks which might impact the drilling performance. Work closely with drilling team to optimize the drilling plan to minimize the exposure to different subsurface risks.Building and maintaining prospect inventory for Cheleken asset supported by all required geophysical interpretation utilizing all available seismic datasets.Update the subsurface description of fields of responsibilities with the results of the latest drilling activities.Provide the required geophysical inputs for field development plans (FDPs) as needed. Add new reserves by mapping out new subsurface locations.Ensure that an up-to-date geophysical interpretation is in place with a clear documentation of subsurface assumptions and uncertainties for all fields of responsibilities.Provide a clear assessment of subsurface chance of success for all leads and prospects included in Cheleken prospect inventory.EducationBachelor Degree in Geophysics, Geology or Physics. Masters/Post graduate degree is preferred.Minimum 10 years of experience with major or independent operating companies.International experience.
