Subsurface Geoscientist (Remote)

About the Role Our client, a progressive exploration and production company operating within the global Oil & Gas sector, is seeking a highly analytical and innovative Subsurface Geoscientist for a fully remote position. While the role is remote, the successful candidate will be instrumental in supporting projects related to assets often located within regions like the Free State. This role demands a deep understanding of subsurface data interpretation, geological modeling, and uncertainty assessment to drive exploration success and optimize field development strategies. You will be an integral part of a remote-first team, leveraging advanced technologies and collaborative platforms to deliver critical subsurface insights. We are looking for a candidate who is self-motivated, possesses excellent communication skills, and thrives in a distributed work environment. The primary focus will be on integrating diverse geological and geophysical datasets to build robust models that underpin informed decision-making. Key Responsibilities Interpret seismic, well log, core, and other geological data to identify and evaluate hydrocarbon prospects. Develop and update 3D geological models and perform subsurface mapping. Conduct quantitative seismic interpretation and attribute analysis. Integrate geological data with reservoir engineering and production data to build comprehensive reservoir models. Assess and quantify geological uncertainty and risk for exploration and development projects. Collaborate effectively with remote geoscientists, reservoir engineers, and management through virtual platforms. Prepare technical presentations and reports for internal stakeholders and potential partners. Contribute to the development of exploration and appraisal strategies. Stay current with emerging geoscience technologies and methodologies. Maintain and manage geological databases and project documentation. Requirements Master’s or Ph.D. degree in Geology, Geophysics, or a related Earth Science field. A minimum of 8 years of progressive experience in subsurface geoscience within the Oil & Gas E&P industry. Proven expertise in seismic interpretation, well data analysis, and 3D geological modeling software (e.g., Petrel, Landmark). Strong understanding of structural geology, sedimentology, and stratigraphy. Demonstrated ability to manage remote projects and collaborate effectively in a virtual team setting. Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, with a keen attention to detail. Proficiency in data visualization and interpretation tools. Strong written and verbal communication skills, essential for remote collaboration. Must be eligible to work remotely from South Africa. Benefits This is a fully remote position offering a highly competitive salary and performance bonus structure. Our client provides an excellent benefits package, including comprehensive private medical insurance and robust retirement savings options.
