Type of contract: Regular position
Domain: Geoscience & Reservoir
Context & Environment
The reservoirs are turbidites thereby necessitating more complexity in reservoir description and representation in the geological models.
Deadlines could be tight with occasional operational constraints.
Job Purpose
Most of the job activity is on modelling studies: QA/QC of input-data, control of the resulting geological models that were developed, reporting and presentation to partners or HQ, models input and output elements justification, consistency control with the simulation models, definition of possible ways to improve the models
Activities
Support and up-date when necessary the geological understanding of the reservoirs.
Evaluate the existing geological and reservoir models, proposes and justifies data acquisitions and GSR studies aimed at improving the reservoir evaluations for prospects, under appraisal and developed fields
Contribute to major 2G&R studies completed in HQ or dedicated projects by validating the input data and/or providing requested data and information
Evaluate, propose and justify projects of drilling for nearby exploration, complementary infill well development
