Petroleum Systems - Geologist - TSI

This role will provide a broad range of Geofluids & Petroleum Systems Analysis skills to BP s global business. Experience of basin modelling, for charge access, fluid property prediction, seal effectiveness assessment and pore pressure prediction are essential. Experience of applying geochemistry to exploration and to production and appraisal is also required.

What will you deliver

Responsibilities will be varied and will therefore require a candidate with a broad skillset and extensive industry experience. Required skills are:

• Exploration: the application of Petroleum Systems Analysis for basin access, and the assessment of petroleum charge and seal effectiveness risk for prospects.
• Appraisal / Development: Describing the distribution and properties of the fluid across the field. Detection of compartmentalisation and assessment of fluid quality.
• Production: Fluid surveillance (time lapse geochemistry) and production allocation.
• New-Well Delivery: Pre-drill prediction of pressure, temperature and fluids-related HSSE hazards, such as gaseous hydrogen sulphide.

Must have educational qualifications

• University Degree in Geology or related subject.
• Masters degree in Petroleum Geology or a Ph.D would be an advantage.

Minimum years of relevant experience

• 5-10 years of relevant industry experience, including some in an exploration and geological well planning environment.

Must have experiences/skills

• Essential industry experience in the areas of Petroleum Systems Analysis, organic geochemistry and basin modelling.
• Interpretation of mudgas and isotope data, experience of planning, delivering and interpreting analytical geochemistry programs for wells is essential.
• Proficiency in the concepts and application of 1D, 2D and 3D Basin Modeling software.
• Coding skills and experience of Data Analytics would be an advantage.
• A collaborative team-first mentality, self-motivated, with a strong ability to integrate across disciplines.
• Proficient in spoken and written English with strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to work on multiple projects concurrently with minimal supervision.
• Strong commitment to Health, Safety and Environment.
• Strong coaching skills and commitment to the development of others.

Good to have experiences/skills

• Strong analytical geochemistry and geochemical data management skills.
• Experience of Petromod and Zetaware basin modelling tools.
• Use of Petrel and/or Techlog, ArcGIS or seismic interpretation would be an asset.
