Senior Development Geophysicist

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree or higher in Geophysics, Geoscience, Geology, or a closely related discipline.

• Minimum 15 years of relevant oil and gas industry experience, with substantial experience in seismic interpretation and development geophysics.

• Strong hands-on experience interpreting 2D and 3D seismic data in producing oil and gas fields.

• Demonstrated experience in structural interpretation, fault mapping, horizon interpretation, depth conversion, and seismic-to-well integration.

• Experience supporting development drilling, infill wells, sidetracks, and field redevelopment projects.

• Strong understanding of seismic acquisition and processing principles and their impact on interpretation.

• Experience working with seismic reprocessing projects and interaction with seismic processing contractors is preferred.

• Experience with seismic attributes and quantitative interpretation techniques is highly desirable.

• Experience supporting FDP/POD, reserves assessment, annual work programs, or similar field development activities.

• Strong understanding of subsurface uncertainty and its impact on well placement and field development decisions.

• Experience with mature-field redevelopment would be a strong advantage.

• Experience working with both elastic and carbonate reservoirs would be an advantage.

• Experience with Indonesian oil and gas assets and the Indonesian PSC/regulatory environment would be a strong advantage.

Job Descriptions :

• Perform detailed interpretation of 2D and 3D seismic data to support field development, reservoir characterization, and well planning.

• Develop and maintain structural interpretations, including horizon and fault interpretation, structural frameworks, depth maps, and reservoir compartmentalization.

• Integrate seismic interpretation with well logs, geological, petrophysical, pressure, production, and reservoir engineering data.

• Perform and/or supervise seismic-to-well ties, synthetic seismograms, velocity analysis, time-depth conversion, and depth mapping.

• Identify and characterize faults, structural closures, reservoir boundaries, and potential reservoir compartments affecting field development and production.

• Support identification and maturation of new well, infill drilling, sidetrack, and redevelopment opportunities.

• Provide geophysical input to well placement, target selection, well trajectory planning, and geological prognosis.

• Assess seismic uncertainty and communicate its impact on well placement, reserves/resources, reservoir connectivity, and development decisions.

• Conduct seismic attribute analysis and other advanced interpretation techniques where appropriate to improve reservoir characterization.

• Evaluate the potential application of seismic inversion, AVO, rock physics, spectral decomposition, and other quantitative interpretation techniques where technically justified.

• Review seismic data quality and identify requirements for seismic reprocessing, acquisition, or other geophysical studies.

• Prepare technical scopes of work for seismic processing, reprocessing, inversion, and special geophysical studies and provide technical oversight of contractors.

• Perform quality control of seismic processing and reprocessing results and ensure that final products are suitable for interpretation and development purposes.

• Work closely with geologists to ensure consistency between seismic interpretation, structural frameworks, stratigraphic interpretation, and static geological models.

• Work with reservoir engineers to ensure geophysical interpretations and uncertainties are appropriately incorporated into dynamic reservoir models and development scenarios.

• Support preparation and updating of Field Development Plans (FDP), Plan of Development (POD), annual work programs, reserves/resource evaluations, and subsurface development strategies.

• Participate in technical reviews, peer reviews, reserves evaluations, and internal assurance processes.

• Prepare clear technical reports, seismic displays, maps, presentations, and recommendations for management and other stakeholders.

• Provide technical guidance and mentoring to junior and mid-level geoscientists.
