Lead Geologist at NexPro Energy
NexPro Energy is a fully integrated and capable of managing any oil and gas delivery project from start to finish – ranging from prospect identification to asset decommissioning and restoration. We are an independent exploration and production company with a growing upstream portfolio. Our immediate focus is an offshore marginal field preparing for first oil, and we are building the production engineering and operations capability to carry it from first oil through full field development.Reporting directly to the Managing Director, you will
Own the field's geological model — the structural and stratigraphic framework from 3D seismic, petrophysical evaluation, and the volumetric and uncertainty basis behind reserves
Own the well prognosis and the geological content of the drilling and data acquisition programmes, and supervise wellsite geology through the well campaign
Complete the well-to-seismic tie and re-map the field on the calibrated interpretation, revising volumetrics and fluid contacts
Lead the geological basis for the post-first-oil Field Development Plan — how reservoir geometry, connectivity and compartmentalisation bear on well placement, facility siting and phasing
Mature the model through producing life: appraisal, development and infill wells, reservoir management input, and opportunities to improve recovery and extend field life
What we are looking for
Degree in Geology or Geoscience
8+ years in subsurface geology, spanning well operations and development geoscience
3D seismic interpretation, well-to-seismic tie, velocity modelling and depth conversion
Static modelling, petrophysical evaluation, and volumetric estimation with uncertainty ranges
Well operations experience — geological prognosis and drilling programme, wellsite geology supervision, and real-time tops and casing point calls
On-site in Lagos with rig-site and offshore visits during well operations.
Resumption within 4–6 weeks of offer.
Remuneration
Competitive compensation based on experience.
