Geoscientist/Geophysicist

ScienceFull-time

Key Responsibilities

  • Perform integrated geological and geophysical interpretation using seismic, well logs, core, fluid, and regional geological data.
  • Conduct structural and stratigraphic analysis and develop 3D reservoir characterization.
  • Build and maintain geological frameworks to support reservoir and geomodeling activities.
  • Evaluate CO₂ storage potential, capacity, and volumetrics.
  • Characterize faults, seals, confining zones, and other subsurface features that may impact carbon storage.
  • Perform uncertainty analysis and develop scenarios to support subsurface decision‑making.
  • Support appraisal well planning and identify opportunities to reduce subsurface uncertainties.
  • Integrate data across geology, geophysics, petrophysics, and reservoir engineering disciplines.
  • Communicate technical findings, risks, and recommendations to subject‑matter experts and project teams.
  • Work independently and deliver high‑quality technical results with limited day‑to‑day supervision.

Required Qualifications

  • 5+ years of relevant geoscience experience; 10+ years preferred.
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Geology, Geophysics, Earth Sciences, Petroleum Geoscience, or a related field preferred.
  • Strong experience with subsurface interpretation, reservoir characterization, and integrated geoscience workflows.
  • Proficiency with Petrel, including seismic interpretation, well ties, log correlation, structural interpretation, and geological framework development.
  • Experience evaluating subsurface uncertainty, volumetrics, and geological risks.
  • Strong understanding of structural geology, stratigraphy, fault interpretation, and reservoir characterization.
  • Excellent analytical, communication, collaboration, and problem‑solving skills.
  • Ability to present technical findings and recommendations to experienced technical teams.

Additional Qualifications

  • Geomodeling experience developing 3D geological/reservoir models.
  • Experience building structural frameworks and performing property population.
  • Knowledge of property population techniques, including variograms and modeling algorithms.
  • Experience with scenario‑based modeling and uncertainty analysis.
  • Strong ability to integrate stratigraphy, structure, petrophysics, and geophysical interpretation.

Position Details

  • Location: Spring, TX – primarily onsite with some remote flexibility.
  • Schedule: Monday–Friday, approximately 8:00 AM–4:00/5:00 PM.
  • Contract: Initial 12‑month contract with potential for extension.
  • Travel: Generally limited; occasional travel, including Canada, may be required for select positions.

Benefits

  • Voluntary benefit plans including medical, dental, vision, telemedicine, term life, whole life, accident insurance, critical illness, a legal plan, and short‑term disability.
  • Retirement savings plan.
  • Service bonus and holiday pay plans (up to eight paid holidays per benefit year).
  • Transit spending account.
  • Paid sick leave under applicable state or local plan.
