• Assist the Chief Geophysicist in the design, acquisition and processing for Seismic Work Programmes

• Deliver state of the art geophysical interpretations of the prospect

• Understand the regional geological picture and integrate that knowledge into the seismic interpretation and reservoir model

• Interpret 2D and 3D seismic volumes over the structure.

• Identify, contract and participate in external studies required to optimise the geophysical interpretation

• Select well locations from existing 2D and 3D seismic volumes, produce well prognoses, statement of requirements, monitor well operations and aid coordination of well drilling activities with the drilling/operations team

• Evaluate new wells on the structure and integrate new data into the seismic interpretation models

• Aid building of 3D static reservoir models by providing key horizons and fault interpretations and reservoir characterisation from seismic data

• Support of all related subsurface activities
