About Oxy
Oxy produces energy and essential products to sustain and improve life on our planet. As the largest independent oil producer operating in the country, we are committed to safe and efficient operations while reducing our carbon footprint and helping others do the same.
Position Summary
The Geologist Advisor will provide regional geological and geophysical evaluations.
Key Responsibilities
- Use of 3D seismic attributes and inversions to construct advance structural modeling and properties modeling.
- Analyze faults and fracture patterns in clastic and carbonate systems, integrating core and image log data.
- Interpret regional tectonic frameworks, basin types, and structural styles to place fault patterns within the regional stress context, based on seismic understanding.
- Interpret sedimentary sequences and bodies using cores and logs to identify and map lithofacies in relation to depositional environments.
- Apply reservoir geochemistry to identify biodegradation and thermal alteration processes for recognizing bitumen presence.
- Link rock typing to porosity–permeability relationships and apply appropriate saturation height functions.
- Build comprehensive 3D geological models, including full structural frameworks, property mapping, and lithofacies distribution consistent with depositional environments.
- Reserve evaluation and defining uncertainties in volumetrics estimates and ranges for different types of reservoir (conventional and unconventional).
- Mentor junior geologists in developing their individual development plans and teach advanced geology courses.
- Prepare and plan the drilling of appraisal and development wells, including setting drilling trajectories, geosteering horizontal wells, and conducting post-drilling evaluations.
- Geological contribution to reservoir management surveillance reviews.
Qualifications
- Bachelor's or Master's Degree in Geology.
- A minimum of 15 years' experience as geo-modeler.
- Advanced regional geological depositional mapping experience in both clastic and carbonate reservoirs.
- Advanced 3D geological modeling skills and experience.
- Advanced use of 3D seismic attributes for advanced structural framework construction.
- Advanced use of reservoir geochemistry.
- Advanced workstation experience (Petrel, well correlation, etc.).
- Proficient in application of sequence stratigraphy.
