Geophysical Applications / Modeling Specialist
Job Description
Working under the mentorship of an experienced geophysical applications specialist, you will be responsible for producing advanced integrated 2D and 3D seismic models, both structural and stratigraphic, to assist in seismic interpretation projects. Initially, as part of Imperial Oil's Geoscience Early Career Development Program, in your first two years you will rotate through two or three different business units and projects selected from active exploration, development and production programs (Western Canadian Basin conventional / unconventional, Oilsands, Beaufort-Mackenzie, East Coast, New Opportunities, Technology). Significant interaction / training with [Employer]'s geophysical modeling specialists in Houston will occur as part of specialist accreditation in this Calgary-based position.
Your responsibilities (mentor-assisted) will include working on:
- Supporting the advanced seismic modeling needs of exploration, development and production projects from Canadian frontier and W. Cdn. basin conventional and unconventional business units
- Conducting time-depth conversions, amplitude-vs-offset studies, complex seismic inversions, spectral decomposition, fluid-replacement etc. seismic modeling studies at both prospect and regional scales using 2D, 3D, 4D and 3-component seismic data
- Ensuring technology transfer of state-of-art geophysical modeling tools and knowledge from [Employer]’s core geophysical modeling research group to Calgary-based seismic interpreters
- Mentoring seismic interpreters in basic geophysical modeling tools and techniques, for example, seismic well ties
Benefits to You
- [Company] offers a science-based exploration and production setting where you can apply your skills and learn new skills
- Technical capability development and documented training plans as part of a comprehensive 2+ year Geoscience Early Career Development Program
- Professional guidance and mentorship to support professional certification
