The Subsurface North Unit is looking for a new Development & Production Geologist to be part of a team who is responsible for 10 producing assets and 9 developing assets within the OUN portfolio. Activity level is high with the continuous drilling of production and infill wells, requiring a need to update geological models to provide the basis for critical business decisions. Over the next 12 months the Subsurface North team will be responsible for following drilling of 14 production wells, taking 9 developments through internal project decision gates and performing updates to a number of geo-models. The position will be responsible for the geological support to the Skarv & Ærfugl, Ormen Lange and Duva producing fields as well as the upcoming Adriana/Sabina & Cerisa development projects. This is an opportunity for a Principal/Senior Development and Production Geologist to provide expert support within a strong technical team to mature current projects and identify additional opportunities for future business decisions.
The successful candidate will be expected to perform integrated reservoir and field evaluations through technical evaluation of available geological data, development of in-house geo-models and the review of operator models. They will be required to plan, review and follow-up development and infill drilling activities, provide input to regular reserves updates of key assets, and contribute to the technical evaluation of M&A opportunities targeted to deliver production growth within OUN's portfolio.
