Senior Geophysicist

Petroleum Development Oman (PDO)

The Senior Geophysicist responsibilities will include, but are not limited to:

• Geophysical interpretation of newly discovered and mature fields within Block 53 to support geological modeling.
• Ability to integrate geophysical interpretation with geological understanding.
• Seismic attribute analysis.
• QA/QC of seismic data and seismic reprocessing projects.
• Work closely with RMT GG in the planning of each Thuleilat well, including pre- and post-drilling reviews, with the aim of achieving zero sidetracks from spud to TD, including in BUS/laterals.
• Involvement in well drilling activities, including structural prediction, hazard identification (e.g., faults, stringers, out-of-zone risks), and providing recommendations for well plan adjustments.
• Collaborate with the team to identify the optimal location for proposed pilot holes.
• Support geologists (GG) in understanding, ranking, and evaluating program oil, with the goal of avoiding high-risk areas (e.g., high water cut, high-pressure stringers, poor geology).
• Support GG in investigating the presence, nature, extent, stratigraphic relationships, and potential of stringers found in the Thuleilat Field.
• Provide geophysical support to the reserves portfolio within the block.
• Coach junior and mid-career geophysicists to help them achieve their project goals.
• Mentor job seekers and summer interns.
