Geophysicist Engineer – Seismic Interpretation

About the role

TotalEnergies EP Algerie Berkine A/S is looking for a geophysicist engineer in Ouarzazate, Algeria, in a fixed-term position of 2 years. The role sits in oil and gas exploration, focusing on 2D and 3D seismic interpretation, structural mapping and well optimisation, and involves working closely with partner geophysicists and Joint Venture partners.

Key responsibilities

• Create structure and isochore maps from 2D and 3D seismic data and well control, using synthetics, checkshots and VSPs.
• Optimise the location of all wells based on seismic interpretation of structure and faulting.
• Determine structural uncertainties from velocity and data variations for use in reservoir modelling.
• Address the limitations of legacy land seismic data (misties, statics, multiples, datums).
• Contribute to QC of seismic processing workflows and products.
• Contribute to geomechanical studies of faulting and stress/strain relationships.
• Prepare technical documentation and present to partners and Joint Venture partners.
• Keep up with new geoscience technologies for the projects.
• Carry out work safely and in line with company practices and Algerian oil and gas regulations.

Required profile

• Master's degree in Geophysics preferred; a very closely related degree may be considered.
• 10+ years of relevant petroleum industry experience, preferably with a major operator, with a bias toward development geophysics and some operations exposure.

Required skills

• Expert skills in interpreting land seismic data for structural mapping.
• Strong skills in generating and using seismic attributes, including inversion products.
• Working knowledge of land seismic acquisition and processing workflows.
• Familiarity with LandMark DecisionSpace preferred.
