POSITION SUMMARY & RESPONSIBILITIES:This is a fast-paced environment, requiring informed decision-making with limited or incomplete data. This role will support subsurface evaluation, development planning, drilling operations, non-operated asset management, and acquisition and divestiture activities while working closely with multidisciplinary teams across the organization.
- Collaborate with Reservoir Engineering, Production Engineering, Drilling & Completions, and Land teams to identify, prioritize, and execute drilling and development opportunities.
- Develop geologic interpretations, well proposals, prognoses, and subsurface evaluations to support field development, near-field exploration, and acquisitions & divestiture efforts.
- Support the planning, drilling, geosteering, and post-well evaluation of vertical and horizontal wells in both conventional and unconventional reservoirs.
- Evaluate operated and non-operated assets, track non-op activity and elections, and provide technical recommendations to support business and operational decisions.
- Identify bypassed pay, uphole potential, infill opportunities, and enhanced recovery applications, including waterflood and CO2 flood projects.
- Perform integrated geological, petrophysical, geophysical, and production analyses to optimize reservoir development and resource recovery.
- Ingest, maintain, quality-control, and analyze large geological and operational datasets to support subsurface interpretations and strategic decision-making.
- Support acquisition and divestiture evaluations through technical assessments, data reviews, reserves analysis, and opportunity identification.
- Utilize and promote best practices in subsurface software, workflows, and data management to improve efficiency, collaboration, and decision quality.
- Effectively communicate technical findings and recommendations across multidisciplinary teams in a fast-paced environment where decisions are often made with limited data.
POSITION REQUIREMENTS: - 10+ years of experience focused primarily on Oklahoma, including the Anadarko Basin, STACK, SCOOP, and Western Anadarko. Experience in the Appalachian Basin, Permian Basin, or East Texas/North Louisiana is preferred
- Broad experience in operations, development and exploration geology, with focus on unconventional reservoir evaluation and development.
- Recent Petra experience is necessary, and proficiency in ArcGIS and Danomics is preferred.
- The candidate should have a strong understanding of petrophysical and geophysical workflows, experience in unconventional plays, and a proven track record of planning, drilling, and evaluating vertical and horizontal wells.
- Experience in conventional fields is a plus.
- Experience identifying bypassed pay or uphole potential, and familiarity with secondary and tertiary recovery methods-such as water floods and CO2 gas floods-is a plus.
- Must be comfortable with multitasking, contributing to multiple projects and prioritizing on the fly.
- Proficiency with Petra, ArcGIS, and/or Danomics
- Strong analytical, communication, and problem-solving skills.
Office Physical Requirements and Working Conditions: - Prolonged periods working at a desk in front of a computer.
Additional Requirements: - Must be able to lift up to 15 pounds at a time.
