  • Integrate seismic, well, geological and petrophysical data into coherent subsurface interpretations
  • Provide geophysical input to well planning, well placement and drilling risk assessment.
  • Identify and mature prospects and leads, including volumetric input, risking and uncertainty assessment
  • Contribute to reserves and resources estimation in accordance with SPE-PRMS guidelines.
  • Support farm-in / farm-out, M&A and subsurface due diligence activities when required.
  • Work closely with geologist, reservoir engineers, petrophysicist to deliver integrated subsurface models and technical evaluation.
  • Translate geophysical uncertainty into business-relevant risk and value implication
  • Participate in peer-reviews, technical assurance sessions. Serve as member of Technical Review Committee (TRC) for overall EnQuest group as required by the Technical Director.
  • Mentor and coach junior geophysicists, building internal technical capability.
  • Promote fit-for-purpose technology adoption aligned with company scale and objective
