Description

Service Purpose:

The responsibilities of the AOBO Senior Reservoir Geophysicist are:

• To follow-up on all Operators Geophysical interpretation to defend Client’s position on all work program activities at the best cost.


• To perform in-house studies in order to be in the position to challenge/evaluate and validate the operators results and work program


• To prepare validation dossiers, under the supervision of the AOBO 2G Manager, for internal approvals and RevGis.


• To carry out the realization of AOBO assets’ key reporting for seismic and other exploration activities (weekly, monthly, seismic, EoW, etc.).

Activities:

• Follow-up of Operators’ Geophysics Activities


• Participate at Technical Meetings with Operators & Partners.


• Challenge operators’ interpretations when necessary to ensure well placement optimization through independent in-house studies


• Review operators’ presentations to ensure that all geophysical information is valid and project details are accurately captured with regards to Geophysics.


• Develop communication avenues with counterpart Geophysicists


• Ensure that all geophysical/ geological risks associated with projects presented by the Operators are clearly evaluated and conveyed in time to influence investment decisions.


• Represent the 2G in technical meetings/workshops with partners/operators and ensure relation with them in the field of exploration, development and reservoir geophysics.

Seismic Interpretation and 2G Studies:

•  Perform an independent interpretation of seismic data, following in-house rules and methods in support of key AOBO projects. Provide reliable interpretation of 3D data to improve field understanding, optimize production and assess additional field development.


• Provide the structural and sedimentological inputs for 2G static models/evaluations to ensure a reliable estimation of the field oil and gas in place.


• Study the available 4D data, taking into account the dynamic production data, in order to evaluate the infill opportunities.


• Ensure the calibration, analysis, interpretation and synthesis of all available geophysical and geological data.


• Validate data (whether or not geophysical) used as input in interpretation.


•  Participate in project’s sanction processes (Review Operators’ Models, In-house QRs, RevGis).


• Communicate with in-house specialists (petrophysics, AVO, ISS) to ensure adequate inputs to 2G models.


• Ensure Client validated interpretation is communicated with partners and operators.


•  Update the weekly and monthly activities report (+KPI) and participate in the weekly activities meeting


• Maintain an organized data filing system.


• Assist the 2G Manager in requesting & collecting subsurface data from operators (seismic cubes, logs, geological models), and ensure an up to date 2G database for easy reference.


• Interact with ARCGIS team.

Others:

•  Prepare and present results to L+1 & L+2, Client Geoscience Métiers and HQ for validation.


• Interact effectively with the Geologist in the team to develop petrel skills when work schedule permits.


• Stand in for the AOBO 2G Manager at internal or external meetings when required.


• Promote HSE in line with Client’s policies and ensure all HSE rules are adhered to.

Accountabilities:

• Respect Company’s Policies and Code of Conduct.


• Quality and accuracy of technical data are essential.


• Provide Geophysics analysis for AOBO decisions to create the best value for Client.


• Establish good working relationship with HQ, Operators, partners and NAPIMS for mutual benefits.


• Contribute to Total’s good reputation (technical and otherwise) through technical proficiency and professional behaviour and development.


• Pro-active attitude during meetings with the operator.


• High level of autonomy and spirit of initiative.


• Timely reporting.


• Quality of presentation and reports.

Job Requirement

• Degree in Geosciences (M.Sc. or equivalent)


• Minimum of 12 years of experience with a strong 2G background


• Some experience in both Geophysics Operations


• Good supervisory, presentation, communication, team leadership skills


• Fluency in English/French is highly desirable
