Geologist

ROLE DESCRIPTION: interpretation of data using geophysical techniques to forecast the location for extraction. Role requires the generation of a structural and sedimentary plan for oil trap identification and exploration.

JOB DESCRIPTION:

• Provide quality interpretations (2D and 3D) and data interpretations and drives workstation skills leading to the generation of well plan for the exploration.
• Use Landmark Application for seismic interpretation and well log evaluation.

• Stratworks adoption for the Lithological Correlation and Evaluation of Well formation.

• Subsurface studies in a variety of Stratigraphy, Sedimentology, and Structural settings for possible yielding zones.

• Denudation stratification and sedimentation study of the Ajapa field through the available seismic data.

• Seismic interpretation and wire line logging interpretation.

• Technique research fields and picking of faults and horizons for more prolific zones.

• Representation of faulty lines on the map using edit polygon (Fault Polygon).

• Periodic investigation of the composition, structure, and history of the earth's crust through the collection, examination, measurement, and classification of soils, minerals, rocks, and fossil remains.
• Surveying and mapping geologically promising sites as well as collecting and recording samples and data from test sites.

• Analyzing geological data using applicable industry standard software

• Ascertaining extraction risks and natural disasters such as mud slides, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions, and providing advice on ways in which potential damage can be mitigated.

• Reservoir characterization and Evaluation of petro physical parameters.

• Thorough studies and mapping out of prospect, maturation/appraisal and early exploration phase data acquisition and associated operations.

• Research study on both log data and seismic data of the field in accordance with the instruction of the Supervisor/Head of Department.

• Interpretation of Horizons, that are annotated and presentation of major faults and Horizons interpretation:

• Any other task as assigned by the Exploration Manager.

COMPETENCIES REQUIRED

• Knowledge of a range of sciences and their applications
• Ability to work within a multidisciplinary team of scientists and engineers
• Computer literacy and ability to analyze numerical and graphical data
• Good written and verbal communication skills
• Knowledge of applicable industry standard soft wares eg: Decision Space Cuosciences, Petrel, Seisworks, Stratworks etc
• Capability in ground and surface water assessment
• Seismic data interpretation
• Writing research papers

QUALIFICATION AND EXPERIENCE

• A degree in Petroleum Geology or Geophysics
• A minimum of 1 year experience in a similar role
• Relevant postgraduate qualification will be an added advantage
• Forecast accuracy in initiating extraction processes

Only qualified candidates will be contacted.
