Sr Geoscientist, Onshore Subsurface Development

Responsibilities

• Conduct regional mapping and subsurface evaluations to identify emerging trends, characterize acreage and play fairway potential, monitor competitor activity, and support business development, exploration, and acquisition opportunities where applicable.
• Apply an understanding of Texas land, lease, spacing, pooling, and regulatory frameworks to support acreage assessments, development planning, and business development evaluations.
• Integrate well, core, production, mapping, and other subsurface datasets to generate field- and area-level interpretations, resource assessments, and risk evaluations that support development planning and opportunity screening.
• Develop and maintain integrated asset development plans, including inventory assessment, well spacing, landing targets, step-outs, and economic justification.
• Collaborate with reservoir, drilling, completions, and other disciplines to support reservoir characterization, well planning, field development, and asset optimization.
• Evaluate drilling, completions, and production performance to identify drivers of results and recommend optimization opportunities to improve reserves and recovery.
• Plan, execute, and interpret surveillance and other data acquisition programs, including the application of new technologies to maximize value.
• Support reserves processes, peer reviews, technical studies, and management decision-making through clear recommendations and presentations.
• Identify process improvements, mentor less-experienced team members, and contribute to effective execution across the broader subsurface organization.

Qualifications/Requirements

• Master’s degree in Geology or a related geoscience discipline.
• Minimum of 7 years relevant experience.
• Significant experience in onshore subsurface development, regional mapping, play assessment, acreage evaluation, and opportunity screening.
• Experience in volumetric analysis, reserves and resource assessment, integrated asset characterization, and support for business development evaluations.
• Demonstrated ability to integrate diverse subsurface datasets for development planning, mapping, and resource evaluation.
• Strong understanding of onshore development workflows, multidisciplinary collaboration, and operational decision support.
• Proficiency with standard geoscience interpretation software.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
