Senior Geophysicist

About the role

This Senior Geophysicist role sits within bp's Subsurface Group, supporting the Gas & low carbon energy (G&LCE) organization to find, develop, and operate oil and gas resources while advancing decarbonization. Based in Mumbai on a hybrid model, you will provide hands-on technical advice across Production Management, Depletion Management, Area Development Planning, and Exploration to improve recovery and identify new opportunities. Day-to-day work includes interpreting and analyzing seismic products, constructing consistent subsurface descriptions, defining optimal seismic processing flows, and collaborating with bp and partner subsurface, production, and global technical specialists to underpin business decisions.

What you’ll do

• Contribute to sharing geophysical understanding of the field with a diverse range of stakeholders, including the broader asset subsurface team
• Interpret and analyze key geophysical products to construct a consistent subsurface description
• Identify maximising technologies and studies that improve understanding of the data and integration of these products for reservoir characterization in service of business delivery
• Work with client stakeholders to define optimal seismic processing flows and opportunities for improvements
• Use seismic data to review and plan future well targets and underpin business decisions
• Assess the data quality of current seismic data, its strengths and weaknesses, and work with stakeholders to plan a forward work program that improves data quality enabling business decisions now and

What you’ll bring

• A geoscience degree from a recognised university
• Minimum of 10+ years' experience as a geophysicist in oil, gas or exploration, appraisal, development or production, including seismic processing and seismic analysis
• Excellent geoscience and subsurface interpretation and integration skills, demonstrated through understanding of a workstation environment using Petrel or equivalent
• Skilled in the use of rapid interpretation techniques e.g. Paleoscan
• Understanding of seismic processing (pre and post stack) and recent advances
• Good all-round knowledge of depth conversion, seismic rock property and inversion workflows
• Exposure to Exploration, appraisal, development and production geoscience in oil and gas assets
• Strong written and verbal communication skills in English

Nice to have

• Experience in Carbonates
• Well planning experience from Exploration to Development
• Leading technical projects
• Hands-on experience of depth conversion, inversion, seismic processing and seismic rock properties
• Experience manipulating seismic and other data in and out of Petrel
• 4D and potential fields experience
• Contribution or exposure to the development or update of static and dynamic models
