Senior Structural Geologist MicroSeismic

Duties & Responsibilities

The Sr. Structural Geologist manages the geologist team members who work with the geophysicists to provide an integrated geosciences-based analysis of micro-earthquake data collected from passive seismic monitoring of reservoir stimulation and production related seismicity. The main goal of the geologic analysis is to provide a geologic context in which to interpret microseismic event locations, including deformation history, fracture orientations, fault interactions, failure mechanisms, in-situ stress, and rock mechanical behavior. As the geology team leader, the Sr. Structural Geologist is responsible for ensuring that geological contributions to analysis projects are geologically defensible and consistent with the geophysical content of the project provided by the analyst. He/she will perform QC reviews of the geologic context, fracture interpretations, and DFN models generated by members of the geology team, will oversee training and development goals of individual geology team members, work with the Geologist Advisor to implement new workflows into geologic analyses, and work with the Data Analysis Manager to assign geologic analysis projects to make sure all are completed and integrated into the final reports in a timely manner.

Required Qualifications:

- Degree in earth science discipline (Masters preferred) with emphasis on structural geology
- Minimum of 10 years experience in oil and gas operations
- Experience in shale gas/oil and tight sands resources and familiarity with microseismic monitoring
- Experience managing geoscience teams preferred
- Familiarity with rock mechanics principles and faulting and earthquake mechanics concepts
- Familiarity with Geographic Information Systems concepts and software applications
- Experience using geological modeling packages and 3D visualization techniques
- Ability to present results and interpretations clearly to diverse audience
- Must be U.S. Citizen or have authorization to work in the United States.
