Reservoir Geologist at TotalEnergies

Context & Environment

• The reservoirs are turbidites thereby necessitating more complexity in reservoir description and representation in the geological models.
• Deadlines could be tight with occasional operational constraints.

Activities

• Support and up-date when necessary the geological understanding of the reservoirs.
• Evaluate the existing geological and reservoir models, proposes and justifies data acquisitions and GSR studies aimed at improving the reservoir evaluations for prospects, under appraisal and developed fields
• Contribute to major 2G&R studies completed in HQ or dedicated projects by validating the input data and/or providing requested data and information
• Evaluate, propose and justify projects of drilling for nearby exploration, complementary infill well development
• Contribute to the design of the drilling projects (well trajectory, objectives, equipment, data acquisition) with Geophysicist, Drilling Dpt. and Subsurface, up to the Well Location Report
• Prepare and follow subsurface operations and well data acquisition with subsurface operation geologist
• Analyse, validate and integrate in a consistent geological scheme new seismic and well data
• Implement, Coordinate and Guarantee the consistency of specialist studies
• Guarantee the quality of G&G data syntheses
• Implement and contributes with Reservoir to dynamic synthesis and field reviews
• Identify the geological uncertainties for risk analysis studies
• Guarantee the geological consistency of the flow simulation models
• Ensure and/or guarantee the assessment of volumes in place and related uncertainties
• Ensure relations with HQ, partners and authorities in the field of Reservoir Geology
• Ensure relations with HQ, partners and authorities in the field of Basin Geology
• Supervise the implementation and execution of proper G&G data management methods
• Participate in data rooms and validate 2G evaluations
• Submit updated results, ideas and concepts to adhoc committees for validation
• Provide hands-on training for junior geologists
• Contribute to negotiations in the Reservoir domain for certification or equities projects

Candidate Profile

• Formal education (diplomas) : : Education in geology (BSc. MSc.)
• Professional experience (in number of years): 6 to 10 years in reservoir geology, modelling and with a good skill in Operation geology.
• Additional skills: Petrel, Sismage
