Job Description:

The Development Geologist will provide technical leadership to support drilling, development planning, & reservoir optimization across Delaware Basin assets. This role integrates geological, petrophysical, geomechanical, geochemical, & engineering datasets to identify development targets, optimize well placement, & drive continuous improvement in multi bench, high complexity reservoirs.

Job Responsibility:

  • Interpret well logs, core, cuttings, seismic, & production trends across key Delaware benches
  • Evaluate reservoir quality trends, TOC trends, porosity/permeability distributions, overpressure systems, & geomechanical contrast between benches
  • Build & maintain high resolution subsurface models that capture characteristic structural complexity, rock-fabric heterogeneity, & rapid facies changes
  • Recommend drilling targets & development plans for multi well pads, including bench selection, landing depth, & spacing/stacking recommendations
  • Assess reservoir connectivity, depletion, & parent/child interference
  • Analyze offset well results & integrate geological models with reservoir & completions engineering to guide analog selection & type curve refinement
  • Provide real time support as needed for geosteering active wells
  • Develop well prognoses, geo hazard maps, & structural predictions for operational planning & participate in drilling design reviews
  • Conduct post drill analyses to validate interpretations & update models accordingly
  • Work closely with reservoir engineers on depletion modelling, pressure analysis, & EUR forecasting
  • Coordinate with execution teams to minimize NPT & optimize designs via integrated rock mechanics interpretations
  • Present technical findings, risks, & development recommendations to asset & technical leadership & multi-disciplinary teams

Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Geology, Geosciences, or related discipline (master’s preferred)
  • Minimum 5 years of unconventional development geoscience experience, with direct experience in the Delaware Basin strongly preferred
  • Proficiency in subsurface interpretation tools (e.g., Petrel & Kingdom)
  • Demonstrated experience supporting unconventional drilling operations
  • Strong understanding of mixed clastic carbonate depositional systems, reservoir performance drivers, & multi-phase fluid behaviour

Nice to have:

  • Direct experience in the Delaware Basin with bench specific familiarity strongly preferred
  • Experience with seismic interpretation & integration into unconventional reservoir characterization
  • Knowledge of geo-cellular modelling workflows within Petrel
