Job Summary
Innovative, results and process-driven Petro-technical professional specializing in a geoscience field. Gathers and combines geological observations and datasets, such as well logs, seismic data,

cores and geo-mechanical data. Explores for and develops hydrocarbons by making geological interpretations to explain the data. Performs geologic studies to mitigate risk, evaluate leads and prospects and improve reservoir characterization. Applies geological interpretation to map or model reservoirs to efficiently and economically manage hydrocarbon extraction. Interprets and analyzes well logs and prepares structure, isopach and net pay maps. Involved with collecting and analyzing competitive activity data and providing recommendations to management. This position is located in downtown Houston, TX. Hybrid work schedule is an option for remote work on Mondays and Fridays. Level and salary commensurate with experience.
