Job Description

full-time
Our client, a prominent player in the upstream Oil & Gas sector, is seeking a highly experienced Senior Geologist specializing in exploration to join their team. This is a fully remote, high-impact position, allowing you to contribute your expertise in subsurface characterization and prospect evaluation from your home office anywhere in Kenya. You will play a crucial role in identifying and assessing potential hydrocarbon reserves through advanced geological interpretation and modeling. Your responsibilities will include analyzing seismic data, well logs, core samples, and other geological information to generate exploration targets and contribute to portfolio strategy. We are looking for a seasoned professional with a deep understanding of regional geology, sedimentology, stratigraphy, and structural geology, coupled with extensive experience in petroleum systems analysis. The ideal candidate will possess strong analytical and problem-solving skills, proficiency in industry-standard geological software (e.g., Petrel, Kingdom Suite), and a proven track record in successful exploration campaigns. Experience in basin analysis, prospect mapping, and risk assessment is essential. You must be adept at collaborating with multidisciplinary teams, including geophysicists, reservoir engineers, and data scientists, in a remote environment. This is an exceptional opportunity to influence exploration strategies and contribute to significant discoveries in a dynamic sector, leveraging your advanced geological knowledge and analytical capabilities in a flexible remote work arrangement.

Responsibilities:
  • Lead geological studies for oil and gas exploration, focusing on prospect identification and evaluation.
  • Interpret and integrate diverse geological and geophysical datasets, including seismic, well logs, and core data.
  • Develop detailed geological models and maps to delineate potential hydrocarbon reservoirs.
  • Conduct basin analysis and petroleum systems evaluation to assess exploration opportunities and risks.
  • Collaborate with geophysicists and reservoir engineers to provide integrated subsurface interpretations.
  • Utilize advanced geological software for data visualization, interpretation, and modeling.
  • Prepare technical reports, presentations, and recommendations for exploration strategy and investment decisions.
  • Mentor junior geologists and contribute to the technical development of the team.
  • Stay current with the latest exploration technologies, methodologies, and industry best practices.
  • Contribute to the company's exploration portfolio management and strategy.
  • Perform field geology work as required (though the primary role is remote analysis).
Qualifications:
  • M.Sc. or Ph.D. in Geology, Geophysics, or a related Earth Science field.
  • Minimum of 7 years of experience in geological exploration, with a strong focus on oil and gas.
  • Proven expertise in seismic interpretation, well log analysis, and reservoir characterization.
  • In-depth knowledge of basin analysis, petroleum systems, and structural geology.
  • Proficiency in industry-standard geological interpretation and modeling software (e.g., Petrel, Kingdom Suite, ArcGIS).
  • Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills.
  • Strong communication and presentation skills, with the ability to convey complex geological concepts clearly.
  • Experience working collaboratively in multidisciplinary teams, preferably in a remote setting.
  • Demonstrated success in identifying and evaluating exploration prospects.
  • Familiarity with data management and uncertainty analysis techniques is a plus.
