Integrated Geologist

Geologist Role at Mumbai High Field

BP has been selected by Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) to act as the Technical Services Provider (TSP) for the Mumbai High Field, India's largest and most prolific offshore oil field that lies approximately 160-kilometers into the Arabian Sea off the Mumbai coast. The Mumbai High oil field was discovered in February 1974 and started production on May 21, 1976. It accounts for almost 25% of India's production.

As the TSP, BP will conduct a comprehensive review of the field's performance and identify improvements as well as implement suitable technological interventions and practices for improving production and recovery from this important national resource. BP will serve in an advisory role to ONGC identifying recovery technologies and practices with the aim of stabilizing production and reversing decline, returning production from this nationally important oilfield to a strong growth path.

This is an opportunity for a motivated individual to join the agile, fast-paced and exciting integrated team that advises ONGC on opportunities for Production Management, Depletion Management, and Area Development Planning to improve production and recovery from this field.

As a geologist in the Mumbai High TSP team, you will play a central technical role in interpreting, integrating, and communicating geological insights that drive reservoir management decisions across the partnership. You will work closely with ONGC counterparts, BP subsurface specialists, and multi disciplinary teams across India and global BP hubs.

This is a hands on technical role suited to someone who brings strong geological fundamentals, thrives in collaborative environments, and enjoys shaping subsurface solutions for complex mature fields.

What You Will Deliver

• As an individual technical contributor, working closely with other subsurface disciplines and other business units such as the Wells organization, you will deliver high-quality geological inputs to progress prioritized business opportunities.
• You will interpret and integrate core, well-log, seismic, analogue, and dynamic data (pressure, production etc.) to develop and refine the integrated structural, stratigraphic, depositional, rock property and fluid frameworks which underpin integrated subsurface products.
• Your technical and business skills will enable you to develop appropriate subsurface scenarios, to characterize and communicate subsurface uncertainties and use this knowledge to plan and deliver 'fit for purpose' technical products.
• You will support the base management and reservoir management opportunities to maximize economic recovery from existing infrastructure.
• Engage proactively with BP specialists, ONGC experts, and cross disciplinary team members (RE, PT, geophysics, data, wells) to drive integrated subsurface solutions.
• Support adoption of new technologies, digital workflows, and data-driven tools (e.g., RAPID-style workflows) that improve efficiency and reliability of subsurface interpretation.
• Your ability to clearly communicate subsurface uncertainty to colleagues and business leaders will enable the development of appropriate risk management and mitigation plans.
• As a geologist in BP's geological and subsurface communities you will coach, share best practice and seek to innovate to solve technical and business problems.

What You Will Need To Be Successful

Must have educational qualifications:

• A geology/geoscience degree from a recognized university

Minimum years of proven experience:

• Minimum of 10 years' experience as a geologist in oil, gas or exploration, appraisal, development or production.

Must have experiences/skills (To be hired with):

• Exposure in appraisal, development and production geoscience in oil and gas assets
• Ability to integrate diverse static and dynamic subsurface data
• Delivery of Integrated Subsurface Descriptions
• Skilled in characterizing and communicating subsurface uncertainty and risk
• Strong written and verbal communication skills in English.
• A highly collaborative, team-first ethos, and a proven track-record of personal delivery.

Good to have experiences/skills (Can be trained for – learning/on-the-job):

• Contribution or exposure to the development or update of static and dynamic models
• Broad development, production and well planning experience
• Experience of working in diverse global teams and managing stakeholders
• Leading technical projects
• Experience in probabilistic resource assessment and reservoir performance prediction
• Experience in Carbonates
• Familiarity with agile working practices
