Geoscientist III at ABNL Limited – Seplat House, Lagos

ABNL Limited is recruiting a contract Geoscientist III at Seplat House, Lagos, to integrate subsurface data, develop geological models and support field-development and reservoir decisions.

Role overview

Responsible for integrating geological, geophysical, petrophysical, reservoir and production data to develop robust predictive subsurface models that support field development, reservoir management, production optimisation and reserves maturation.

The role identifies and matures development and production opportunities, provides geological assurance throughout the well-delivery process, and applies appropriate technologies and uncertainty-management techniques to improve reservoir understanding, optimize hydrocarbon recovery and reduce subsurface and drilling risks.

Principal Accountabilities

• Develop and maintain integrated geological models incorporating seismic interpretation, well correlations, petrophysical evaluation, reservoir properties and production information.
• Integrate geological and dynamic data to improve understanding of reservoir architecture, connectivity, compartmentalization, fluid distribution and remaining hydrocarbon potential.
• Identify, evaluate and mature development and production opportunities, including infill wells, sidetracks, workovers and other reservoir-management opportunities.
• Provide production-geology input to integrated subsurface studies, Field Development Plans and reservoir-management activities, ensuring delivery to the required technical quality and agreed schedule.
• Lead geological input to development and appraisal well maturation and the Well Delivery Process (WDP), including well objectives, correlations, reservoir targets, depth prognosis, geological uncertainties, drilling risks and data-acquisition requirements.
• Provide geological support during drilling and workover operations, ensuring timely interpretation of new well information and effective management of geological uncertainties and drilling risks.
• Prepare and quality-assure geological inputs to well proposals, well resumes, post-well evaluations and End-of-Well Reports, and incorporate new well results into subsurface models, maps and databases.
• Apply geological risk and uncertainty analysis to subsurface interpretations, volumetric assessments and development decisions.
• Participate in peer, integrated and value-assurance reviews, ensuring geological evaluations and recommendations meet required technical standards.
• Collaborate across Geoscience, Reservoir Engineering, Production Technology, Wells and other disciplines to deliver integrated field-development, reservoir-management and production decisions.
• Coach and mentor less-experienced geoscientists and contribute to technical knowledge sharing, capability development and approved technical publications.

The role supports the maturation and delivery of development and production opportunities across assigned assets and contributes to integrated subsurface studies, reservoir-management decisions, well delivery and hydrocarbon reserves growth. The Senior Geoscientist operates in a multidisciplinary environment and provides production-geology input to activities undertaken with internal teams, partners and specialist contractors.

Requirements

• Candidates should possess an M.Sc Degree with 8 – 12 years experience.
