Job Description


A multinational E&P that is Germany's largest producer of crude oil and natural gas is actively seeking a Senior Geomodelling specialist to join their business. This operator has been active in the extraction of natural resources for 120 years, and in the exploration and production of crude oil and natural gas for over 80 years.

My client focuses on selected core regions where the company has built up a high level of regional and technological expertise. These are Europe, Russia, North Africa, South America, and increasingly the Middle East region. The company wants to expand its business further with exploration and production, selected partnerships, innovation and technological competence. Today it employs c. 2,500 staff worldwide from 40 nations and is now Germany's largest, internationally active crude oil and natural gas producer.

As a Senior Geomodeling Specialist with this operator, you will be involved in framing, building and reviewing integrated reservoir models. The position requires documented knowledge in a broad range of methods across geoscientific disciplines which are necessary to build integrated static reservoir models. These must include the application of common stratigraphic methods, the application of structural geology technologies, geostatistics and geophysical reservoir characterization. Beyond providing the common geological and geophysical background for the static model the specialist will work with petrophysicist and reservoir engineers to generate fully integrated reservoir models in closely linked teams. Together with the involved disciplines the geomodeler will set up uncertainty tables and build integrated uncertainty workflows for prediction and history matching. The geoscientist will be involved in improving and/or initiate corporate best practice approaches. With intimate knowledge of the numerical principals of modeling software the candidate will support the E&P Technology group in seeking new innovative concepts and methods in reservoir modeling technologies. As part of E&P technology team the candidate will initiate new technology projects and will be part of the company's reservoir characterization and modeling skill pool.

Main duties and responsibilities:

* Plan, frame, carry out and review integrated reservoir modeling projects
* Work in a senior position in a team of experienced reservoir modellers
* Applying advanced methods of geological modelling
* Support the definition of operational needs for reservoir models in exploration and development studies including core analysis and studies
* Participate in improving and/or initiating corporate best practice approaches in geological modeling and reservoir characterization
* Support and initiate collaboration with partners to develop and apply new technologies

Key Skills / Knowledge Requirements:

* Understanding of numerical methods in reservoir modeling
* Definition of flow units and water saturation modeling
* Geostatistics and other methods for modeling geological facies at reservoir scale
* Representation of complex structures in reservoir grids
* Development of new uncertainty workflows
* Extended Experience in at least one major geological modeling package (Petrel, RMS, GOCAD/SKUA)
* Basics of reservoir engineering and reservoir development
* Analysis and definition of key uncertainties
* Structural geology
* Geophyscial and petrophysical reservoir characterization
* Basics of Petrophysics and knowledge of rocktyping methods
* Diploma, MSc or PhD with a proven record in geological modelling
* Experience in E&P business or related jobs (>5 years).

This position boasts a particularly impressive salary which can be discussed in further detail.
