Job description
Job Title: Senior Geoscientist, International New Ventures
Location: Houston, Texas, US
Employment Type: Full-Time Permanent


About The Role
This role will work in a small, focused, geotechnical team charged with influencing and executing global New Ventures efforts with a focus on the greater Atlantic Margin area. The position requires a self-starter who is comfortable working on multiple projects simultaneously in a fast-paced environment. The candidate must be proficient in using seismic interpretation and fundamental regional geologic analysis to generate, mature, and recommend new and creative exploration and new access concepts for recommendation.

The highest level of technical excellence is required, and the candidate will exemplify good exploration process and will promote technical improvement and excellence across the organization. A firm understanding of geologic models for resource estimation and risk application is required. Additional beneficial skills include demonstrated proficiency in the Petrel and Kingdom interpretation platforms, and other key geological / geophysical interpretation suites (e.g., Paleoscan, Hampton Russell, etc.).

While the candidate is expected to work independently and in small teams, broader collaboration across exploration, sub-surface, and business development is required to generate new ideas and deliver timely evaluations. The ideal candidate will present to the highest levels of Management and represent our client in meetings with external partners and governments. Accordingly, a demonstrated ability to construct a story, document results, develop a concise supporting presentation to clearly support recommendations is imperative.

The position is based in the Houston Corporate office but may require frequent international travel. The Geoscientist will work in our Houston Corporate office and may occasionally work remotely as business needs allow.



Key Responsibilities
  • Basin-Scale Regional Evaluations grounded in an understanding of the Hydrocarbon System
  • Integration of basin scale seismic interpretation and well log information
  • Generating isopach and reservoir fairway maps
  • Basin Modeling and source rock characterization
  • High quality 2D & 3D seismic interpretation including attribute analysis
  • Uncertainty analysis and prospect risking.
  • Build and maintain exploration databases.
  • Generate and present technical material to peers, management, and external partners.
  • Work with government officials on a regular basis
  • Participation in key industry networking events, meetings and conferences on the company's behalf
Qualifications & Experience
  • Master's degree in Geology or Geophysics
  • Minimum of 10 or more years of experience in the oil and gas industry
  • Available to travel internationally on a frequent basis for data rooms and other meetings
  • Willingness to flexibly work multiple projects simultaneously in a fast-paced environment
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills
Work Environment
The individual is required to follow all applicable safety precautions. Work is performed almost entirely in a controlled (i.e., inside) environment and does not typically subject the incumbent to any hazardous/ extreme elements; some positions may require regularly moving or transporting items weighing up to 25 lbs. around the office for various needs. The successful candidate must be able to complete all essential physical requirements of the job with or without reasonable accommodation.



This is an excellent opportunity to become part of a well-established International Exploration and Production company who are driving forward increasingly specialized and innovative solutions in the Oil & Gas Upstream industry. Candidates must have authorization to work in the US without ongoing sponsorship or a visa. The successful applicant will receive competitive base salary, an annual bonus, and comprehensive benefits including medical coverage, 401K match, holidays/ PTO, and more.
