Job Description

POSITION SUMMARY
We seek an experienced and well-rounded geophysicist who will provide technical expertise and generate and mature exploration opportunities for upcoming drilling selection with the Gulf of Mexico Miocene team.  Key talents will further our deep-water exploration activities by enhancing geophysical analysis of existing and emerging plays based in the interpretation of 2D and 3D regional seismic data including subsalt and structurally complex areas with lesser quality imaging.  Background strengths should include the ability to integrate structural and stratigraphic concepts with seismic interpretation and well data control. A desire to challenge existing models to seek new and innovative solutions to complex problems will be a major part of the role.

Successful applicants for this position must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 as a condition of employment.

 ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES
 

Generation and characterization of impactful exploration opportunities and their associated key uncertainties and risks
Provide high quality seismic interpretation integrated with all nearby well control
Close collaboration with internal and external data processing providers to ensure high quality seismic products are generated for the Miocene team
Utilization of quantitative interpretation methods with the appropriate tools to further address subsurface risks and uncertainties
Contribute 2D and 3D regional seismic interpretation, including sub-salt and structurally complex areas with challenged seismic image quality
Ensure evergreen data integration and regional map compilation from multiple data sets
Databasing and quality control with the appropriate capture of data and interpretive products
Contribute map products that define and constrain play-fairways for play-based exploration work
Participate in a healthy cross-functional team environment through application of the Hess Values and Leading at Hess competencies

 
QUALIFICATIONS
Experience

Proven track record of data integration, structural and stratigraphic interpretation, and opportunity generation
