Regional geological and geophysical studies, which are carried out to identify basins and areas of particular interest to support bidding in exploration bid rounds and to support farm-in and acquisition initiatives.
Identification and mapping of leads and prospects for drilling opportunities. This work involves quantification of prospect volumetrics and evaluation of economic viability, forming the basis for well proposals.
Ideally you will have extensive experience with 2D and 3D seismic interpretation is expected, particularly across several basin types and tectonic regimes.
