Technical Work
- QA/QC of all input data to lead/prospect maturation.
- Closely liaise with ADNOC Exploration Petrophysicists to define volumetric input parameters.
- Review existing lead/prospect seismic interpretation or undertake new seismic interpretation to verify
leads and prospects.
- Integrate offset wells to better define prospectivity.
- Undertake volumes and risking using GeoX.
- Review the lower part of the ADNOC Exploration Portfolio to verify/refute small leads. Review volumes
and risks and make recommendations regarding whether these should be retained or discarded from
the portfolio.
- Prepare Lead/Prospect Summary Sheets (using ADNOC Template) and other lead/prospect reports,
as necessary.
- Undertake well prognoses, as required.
- Mentor, coach and train staff in lead/prospect maturation, particularly with regard to calculating volumes
and assessing risk. Assist ADNOC staff in volumes and risk.
- In close collaboration with ADNOC Exploration staff, identify data gaps for specific leads and/or
prospects and make recommendations for closing these to reduce uncertainty and increase POS.
Software & Tools to be Used.
- Petrel, GeoX, ArcGIS Pro, PetroSYS, etc.
Generic Accountabilities & Supervision
- Plan, supervise and coordinate all activities in the assigned area to meet functional objectives.
- Mentor, train and develop assigned ADNOC staff in relevant skills to enable them to become proficient
on the job and deliver the respective business objectives.
Reports
- Preparation of fit-for-purpose Technical Reports to the highest standards. All digital products (e.g. Petrel,
GeoX, TechLog, Excel, PowerPoint, Word etc.) will be made available on the ADNOC Exploration Shared Drive.
- Preparation of Lead/Prospect Summary Sheets.
- Preparation of Well Prognoses, as required.
- Provide input to progress reports for Management
Minimum Qualification
- Bachelor’s and preferably Master’s degree in Geology or equivalent discipline (PhD desirable, but not
essential).
Minimum Experience & Knowledge & Skills
- 20+ years extensive exploration experience with a proven track record in lead and prospect maturation.
Delivery to tight deadlines. In-depth experience and understanding of state of the art exploration
workflows/best practices.
- Past experience in Abu Dhabi with detailed understanding of Abu Dhabi’s stratigraphy and
geology/geophysics and/or highly experienced in the broader Middle East Region, especially
neighbouring countries, with in-depth knowledge of relevant reservoir-seal pairs.
- Strong preference for a GeoX ‘Expert’.
