Job Family Group:Subsurface GroupJob Description:We are hiring a Carbonate Reservoir Geologist position within our Sedimentology preferably PhD level or equivalent experience.EXPERIENCE AND JOB REQUIREMENTS:A deep understanding of carbonate sedimentary rocks across a range of depositional settings (e.g. platform, ramp, reefal, slope, basinal, lacustrine). In particular, the successful candidate will be able to demonstrate a strong understanding of carbonate facies analysis, depositional architecture, diagenesis, reservoir quality evolution, high-resolution sequence stratigraphy, and stratigraphic frameworks.An ability to scope and co-ordinate reservoir description and characterization projects, some involving external contractors, to deliver high-quality products that can be practically applied to subsurface problems.Experience in carbonate reservoir management/production, and at least one of the following: exploration, appraisal, early field development.An ability to describe carbonate core and outcrops independently, to a high standard, integrating sedimentology, textures, diagenesis, fractures, and reservoir quality observations.Ability to organize and lead geologic integrated field trips and core workshops, particularly focused on carbonate systems and reservoir analogues.Strong communication skills (written and verbal). Experienced with presenting to senior management to influence both vertically and horizontally in the organization.Ability to context switch while supporting more than one team at pace with the ability to pragmatically right-scope products.Managing carbonate analogues databases and contributing to reservoir quality benchmarking efforts.AN ABILITY TO:Generate multiple depositional, diagenetic, and stratigraphic scenariosUse static and dynamic fluid data to test, improve and rank those modelsDescribe subsurface uncertainty and risks and their impact on profile and resource deliverySkillfully correlate wireline logs, integrate reservoir data (e.g. core, seismic and image logs), dynamic data (sat logs, PLTs, PBU etc) and generate multiple geological models.A good understanding of, and ability to integrate with, other subsurface subject areas (Petrophysics, Geophysics, Reservoir Engineering)DESIRABLE:A minimum of 10 years’ broad geological experience, ideally gained through work assignments in different areas and basins, dominantly within carbonate systems.Experience working in multi-discipline/multi-function project teams and ability to influence others to provide quality inputs to ensure quality team delivery.Ability to organize and lead cross-team workshops and meetings.Please note that roles based out of SJS or Sunbury will move to Timber Square, Southwark, from Q4 2027.Why join bpAt bp, we support our people to learn and grow in a diverse and exciting environment.
