JOB PURPOSE:

Coordinates exploration geology activities and quality control of the geological work carried out. Conduct geological studies including evaluation of under-developed fields, exploration play including unconventional play-shale oil reviews, prospect ranking and maturation studies, log/siesmic interpretations and correlations, exploration, and appraisal well proposals and participation in multi-disciplinary studies to define and evaluate exploration and appraisal prospect. The function also includes giving technical support to the team leader and VP Exploration and representation of technical meetings with OPCO shareholders, vendors, and consultants.

KEY ACCOUNTABILITIES

• To evaluate proposals for geological studies or data gathering activities such as exploration and appraisal wells and offer advice on the scope of the studies and extent of the data gathering activities.
• To propose and justify data gathering activities such as the acquisition of cores, pressure measurements and wireline logs in exploration or appraisal wells or (in full cooperation with the department's geophysicists) seismic or other geophysical data.
• To conduct geological studies, including well log interpretations, well log correlations, preparation of regional reservoir property maps, play maps, prospect maps and other maps, regional play evaluations, prospect ranking and maturation studies, basin analysis and geochemical studies, exploration, and appraisal well proposals, etc., all in full cooperation with other disciplines and integrating all petroleum engineering, geological.
• To advise Management on acquisition of new software and hardware related to geological studies.
• To delegate, plan and supervise exploration geological projects, including quality control of the final products such as geological study reports, geochemical analysis reports, basin analysis reports, well proposals, volumetric assessments, etc.
• Prepare and disseminate reports on a regular and ad hoc basis to ensure that all concerned parties are aware of the status of the work in progress of the projects undertaken in the field from a technical perspective.
• Staying up to date with the latest software developments and new applications which are of potential value to the Division.
