Senior Lead Geologist – Development

The Development Geologist cum Modeller will lead the integration of geological, geophysical, petrophysical, and engineering data to develop robust static models for field development and reservoir management. The incumbent will be a key player in multidisciplinary teams, contributing to strategic decision-making through technical excellence and cross-functional collaboration.

Key Responsibilities:

• Geological Interpretation & Subsurface Understanding:

• Proficient in interpreting depositional environments across clastic, carbonate, mixed, deepwater, and shallow-marine systems.

• Conduct seismic facies analysis and generate detailed depositional models.

• Static Modelling Expertise:

• Develop complex structure models, apply both stochastic and deterministic approaches to facies/property modelling.

• Perform volumetric analysis, uncertainty quantification, and multi-scenario evaluations.

• Reservoir Engineering Collaboration:

• Collaborate closely with REs on dynamic modelling, upscaling, and history matching.

• Provide static input for material balance (MBAL) and production forecasts using deterministic and probabilistic approaches.

• Development & Appraisal Planning:

• Contribute to Field Development Plans (FDPs), full field reviews, and brownfield/greenfield development.

• Evaluate near-field exploration and behind casing opportunities.

• Well Planning & Operations:

• Guide well planning, geo-steering, and real-time subsurface decision-making.

• Define and supervise data acquisition strategies in exploration, appraisal, and development wells.

• Integration with Other Disciplines:

• Provide geological input into drilling, facilities, and economic models.

• Participate in risk and uncertainty analyses, decision trees, and support full-cycle E&P workflows from exploration to rejuvenation.

• Leadership & Mentoring:

• Lead and mentor junior geoscientists, foster technical development within the team.

• Work effectively in integrated teams including geophysicists, petrophysicists, REs, PE, and drilling engineers.
