About bp
Bp Technical Solutions India (TSI) centre in Pune aims to build on bp’s existing engineering and strengths, to deliver high quality services to its hydrocarbons and new energy businesses worldwide. TSI brings together diverse engineering capability to provide technical services across a range of areas including engineering, maintenance, optimization, data processes, projects and subsurface, to deliver safe, affordable and lower emission energy, while continuously innovating how we work. Global Subsurface Solutions (GSS) delivers high-quality, high impact, subsurface technical products to address prioritised business challenges across bp’s Production and Operations (P&O).
About the Role
As a GSS integrated senior geophysicist, you will have the opportunity to support activity across our global portfolio on projects as diverse as SE-Asia regional scale exploration, field development offshore West-Africa and field surveillance and production monitoring in the Caspian Sea. You may work clastic, deep-water, paralic, non-marine and carbonate reservoirs, supporting our oil and gas businesses.
You will be deployed into a multi-disciplinary squad to provide technical skills in geophysics and subsurface integration, along with thorough insight into subsurface uncertainty and risk. You will develop and provide technical skills in seismic interpretation and subsurface integration. There are broadening opportunities, with the potential to work different fields/basins in a variety of activities such as exploration prospect identification, integrated subsurface description, development planning and well planning for activity across bp’s global oil, gas and low carbon portfolio.
What will you deliver
As an individual technical contributor, you will work closely with other subsurface disciplines and other business units such as the Global Wells organisation.
You will deliver high quality seismic analysis, interpretation, depth conversion and mapping using state-of-the-art workstation technologies, whilst integrating with geological and engineering data to build subsurface descriptions which underpin exploration and field development across the global portfolio.
Your technical and business skills will enable you to develop appropriate subsurface scenarios, to characterise and communicate subsurface uncertainties and use this knowledge to plan and deliver ‘fit for purpose’ technical products.
Your ability to clearly communicate subsurface uncertainty to colleagues and business leaders will enable the development of appropriate risk management and mitigation plans.
You will promote bp's commitment to safe, responsible and sustained performance, and demonstrate strong individual and leadership behaviours in line with bp values.
As a geophysicist in bp’s subsurface technical community, you will coach and mentor, share best practice and seek to innovate to solve technical and business challenges.
Must have educational qualifications:
Geophysics / Geoscience degree from a recognised university.
Minimum years of relevant experience
4 to 12 years of relevant experience as a geophysicist in exploration, field appraisal, development, production or well planning.
Must have experiences/skills
Excellent seismic manipulation and interpretation skills, including 3D digital toolkit skills.
Skills in velocity calibration, pore pressure prediction from seismic, depth conversion techniques and depth uncertainty analysis.
Ability to integrate diverse static and dynamic subsurface and well data.
Skilled in characterising and communicating subsurface uncertainty, risk and value.
Highly collaborative, team-first ethos, and a proven track-record of personal delivery.
Desire to develop and learn new skills.
Strong written and oral communication skills in English.
Good to have experiences/skills
Working knowledge with Petrel, PalaeoScan, and statistical software packages.
Broad exploration, appraisal and development geoscience experience.
Experience in seismic attribute work, AVO analysis and seismic rock properties fundamentals
Well planning experience.
Familiarity with Integrated Subsurface Descriptions and integrating seismic products into geological/reservoir models.
Experience of working in diverse global teams and managing stakeholders.
Familiarity with agile working practices.
You will work with
Your line manager will be the Geophysics Discipline Leader supporting the TSI Unit within GSS.
You will be based in Pune, India, but may be deployed remotely into a multinational, integrated subsurface delivery ‘squad’ where day-to-day activities/deliverables will be prioritised by the squad leader. These GSS squads typically consist of 5-10 multi-disciplinary technical members in several locations and are deployed based on global subsurface business prioritisation.
You will also work in close collaboration with other subsurface teams from locations your squad is supporting, as well as with global subsurface technical specialists and subject matter experts.
