Geophysicist – Seismic Lifecycle Specialist

About the role

The Geophysicist will deliver high‑quality geophysical support across the full seismic lifecycle, turning subsurface data into actionable insights for appraisal, development and reservoir management.

Key responsibilities

• Maintain and document seismic databases, define usage guidelines and identify data gaps.
• Develop long‑term seismic strategies, VOI assessments and recommend rejuvenation, reprocessing or new acquisition.
• Define survey objectives, acquisition geometries and technical specifications for 3D/4D surveys; oversee acquisition operations for data quality and safety.
• Support processing and reprocessing workflows, perform QC at each stage, validate velocity models and advanced imaging steps.
• Interpret 3D/4D seismic data, produce structural maps, AVO studies, seismic inversion products and integrate results with well logs, core and production data.
• Provide geophysical risk assessments, support well‑planning sessions and real‑time drilling decisions.
• Evaluate 4D seismic for reservoir monitoring and integrate findings into reservoir management workflows.
• Prepare and deliver technical presentations and reports to internal teams and partners.

Required profile

• Advanced experience in seismic interpretation and reservoir management.
• Strong quantitative geophysics background, including VOI assessments.
• Proven track record across the seismic lifecycle: acquisition planning, processing QC, interpretation and 4D monitoring.
• Ability to communicate complex geophysical concepts clearly to technical and non‑technical audiences.

Required skills

• Seismic interpretation (3D/4D)
• Seismic processing and QC
• AVO analysis
• Seismic inversion
• Velocity modeling
• Geophysical risk assessment
