The ExxonMobil Australia group has been operating in Australia since 1895, and principally operates through subsidiaries Esso Australia Pty Ltd and Mobil Oil Australia Pty Ltd.

ExxonMobil Australia's reliable supply of natural gas and transportation fuels is powering Australian jobs. Our people provide the energy used by local manufacturers, hospitality venues, medical facilities and construction, transport and logistics firms, supporting the countless industries who rely on their products and services.

ExxonMobil's affiliates have offices and facilities in Victoria (Altona, Docklands, Yarraville, Hastings and Longford) and offices in Perth.

**What role you will play in our team**:
An exciting opportunity exists for an Exploration Geoscientist to join our Melbourne based team, working on a diverse range of opportunities and projects across the Asia Pacific region.

Our business is broad, exciting, and dynamic - from our essential role in supplying Gippsland gas to Australia to seeking new upstream opportunities and undertaking studies for carbon capture and storage potential across the Asia Pacific region.

The Melbourne Geoscience hub supports a range of operated and non-operated assets around Australia and internationally including SE Asia and Papua New Guinea from all stages of the business cycle from exploration to development to production.

ExxonMobil geoscientists are deployed across our Upstream, Low Carbon Solutions and Technology & Engineering companies to support the Corporation's goal of providing global energy solutions and leading the industry to achieve net zero. A geoscientist can expect to have a career working a wide range of assignments in traditional oil and gas exploration, development, production, and assignments supporting the Energy Transition, including carbon capture and storage.

Our geoscientists work at the basin, play, prospect and field scale, focusing on evaluating and assessing the commerciality of new or existing opportunities. They deliver accurate subsurface descriptions and communicate key risks and uncertainties to support investment decisions. They integrate and interpret geological and geophysical data and work with a wide range of data sets including seismic (2D and 3D), well logs, fluids, reservoir analogues and core. Geoscientists also leverage advanced seismic imaging and mapping techniques to provide diverse and creative subsurface descriptions.

The position is based at Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

**What you will do**:

- Evaluate value potential through opportunity identification, prospect generation, maturation, and drilling
- Integrate datasets across multiple scales to build subsurface models, solve subsurface problems and make associated recommendations
- Work effectively within multi-discipline and cross-continent team environments
- Collaborate with a range of colleagues on projects such as new opportunity pursuit, reservoir characterization, well planning, drilling execution, post drill evaluations and field developments
- Integrate subsurface characterization with commercial experts undertaking economic evaluations or negotiations
- Delivering technical updates, advice and recommendations to subsurface teams, management and external parties
- Generate clear and comprehensive documentation of work efforts
