Geoscientist

**Exciting career opportunity with ExxonMobil Australia**:
**Geoscientist**
- Melbourne location, Permanent position
- Excellent employee benefits

**About the Opportunity**

An exciting opportunity exists for a Production and Development Geoscientist to join our team based in Melbourne. This role will see you working across multi-functional teams to generate accurate predictions of reservoir performance scenarios and to identify, characterise, and pursue recoverable resource opportunities while optimising field depletion plans.
Optimised field depletion models are iterative and investigative, and your work will allow for the model to be designed and prioritised to further narrow the range of performance uncertainty using an integrated data collection (static and dynamic) and validation approach.
The role involves on-going field support activities including:

- field reserve and resource assessment,
- wireline and well planning and execution,
- support for ongoing well abandonment operations,
- opportunity identification and evaluation for step-out acreage capture, and
- Government, regulatory and partner interactions.

**Key Responsibilities**:
**As a Production and Development Geoscientist you will be responsible for**:

- Delivering 3D geological models through the integration (including validation) of multiple datasets, including integrating new data to enable geologic model updates to optimize field depletion.
- Supporting ongoing well abandonment operations through the close collaboration with engineers to ensure safe and successful outcomes.
- Collaborating across multi-discipline teams team including reservoir, petroleum and well engineering staff.
- Identification of new data collection opportunities, incorporating cost benefit analyses in their justification.
- Contributing to, and participating in well bore utility reviews including the identification of workover opportunities and new completion intervals.
- Performing subsurface structural and stratigraphic mapping that incorporates reservoir connectivity analysis.
- Create integrated seismic interpretations combining well log based stratigraphy, seismic-to-well ties, rock property & attribute analysis (quantitative and qualitative).
- Generation of clear and comprehensive documentation of work effort.
- Delivering technical updates, advice and recommendations to the subsurface team, management and external parties.

**About you**

Your broad range of geoscience skills and experience will enable you to effectively support business needs, opportunity generation and subsurface data integration. You will bring:

- A tertiary qualification in geology, or similarly relevant discipline.
- A commitment to health, safety and environmental responsibility.
- The ability to comprehend and integrate knowledge, ideas and data to solve geologic and geophysical challenges.
- A minimum of 5 years’ experience in a similar role.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- Demonstrated ability to work independently and as part of a multi-discipline team.
- Knowledge and experience in the use of 3D geological modelling and interpretation software such as Petrel.
- Experience in drilling operations and formation evaluation will be highly regarded.
