About this role
Lead Geologist
Reporting directly to the Managing Director, you will
- Own the field's geological model — the structural and stratigraphic framework from 3D seismic, petrophysical evaluation, and the volumetric and uncertainty basis behind reserves
- Own the well prognosis and the geological content of the drilling and data acquisition programmes, and supervise wellsite geology through the well campaign
- Complete the well-to-seismic tie and re-map the field on the calibrated interpretation, revising volumetrics and fluid contacts
- Lead the geological basis for the post-first-oil Field Development Plan — how reservoir geometry, connectivity and compartmentalisation bear on well placement, facility siting and phasing
- Mature the model through producing life: appraisal, development and infill wells, reservoir management input, and opportunities to improve recovery and extend field life
What we are looking for
- Degree in Geology or Geoscience
- 8+ years in subsurface geology, spanning well operations and development geoscience
- 3D seismic interpretation, well-to-seismic tie, velocity modelling and depth conversion
- Static modelling, petrophysical evaluation, and volumetric estimation with uncertainty ranges
- Well operations experience — geological prognosis and drilling programme, wellsite geology supervision, and real-time tops and casing point calls
- On-site in Lagos with rig-site and offshore visits during well operations.
- Resumption within 4–6 weeks of offer.
Remuneration
- Competitive compensation based on experience.
