Geophysicist – Seismic Lifecycle & Reservoir Management

About the role

The Geophysicist will deliver high‑quality geophysical support across the full seismic lifecycle, ensuring that subsurface insights guide appraisal, development, and reservoir management decisions.

Key responsibilities

• Maintain and document seismic databases, define usage guidelines, and identify data gaps.
• Develop long‑term seismic strategies, VOI assessments, and recommend acquisition or reprocessing programs.
• Define survey objectives, acquisition geometries, and technical specifications for 3D and 4D surveys.
• Provide technical oversight during acquisition, ensuring data quality, safety, and compliance.
• Support processing and reprocessing workflows, performing QC at each stage (velocity models, noise attenuation, deghosting, multiple removal, advanced imaging).
• Interpret 3D/4D seismic data to map structures, stratigraphy, reservoirs, and fluid distributions.
• Integrate seismic interpretation with well logs, core, production data, and geological models for robust subsurface understanding.
• Generate structural maps, attribute analyses, AVO studies, and seismic inversion products.
• Deliver geophysical risk assessments, support well‑planning sessions, and advise on real‑time drilling decisions.
• Evaluate 4D seismic for reservoir monitoring and integrate insights into management workflows.

Required profile

• Advanced experience in seismic interpretation and reservoir management.
• Proven ability to conduct VOI assessments and quantify business impact of geophysical data.
• Strong knowledge of acquisition planning, processing QC, and 4D monitoring.
• Excellent communication skills for technical presentations to internal and partner audiences.

Required skills

• Seismic data processing and quality control
• 3D/4D seismic interpretation
• VOI (Value of Information) assessment
• Survey design and acquisition planning
• Structural mapping and attribute analysis
• AVO (Amplitude Versus Offset) analysis
• Seismic inversion techniques
