Chief Specialist / Geologist Modeler

About The Role

The Geological Exploration Department (GED) is the foundation of our company. We employ a dual-control system and deep specialization to ensure the accuracy of well placement and data interpretation.

Key Responsibilities

• Digital Modeling: Construction and updating of 3D geological models of fields.
• Creating “Cubes”: Building dynamic reservoir models with distribution of reservoir properties (porosity, permeability).
• Lithofacies Analysis: Detailed study of rock formation conditions to search for zones with the best reservoir properties.
• Data Preparation: Primary processing, digitization, and systematization of geological information for modeling.
• Prospect Assessment: Creating a digital twin of the subsurface to select drilling locations with the maximum probability of finding gas.

Required Experience And Skills

• Modeling Experience: Proficient use of specialized software for constructing geological 3D models (Petrel or equivalents).
• Regional Knowledge: Understanding of the geological structure and specifics of regional objects (knowledge of specifics is mandatory to substantiate the prospects of new areas together with the regional exploration department).
• Specialized Education: Deep knowledge in petrophysics, lithology, and reservoir properties.
• Collaboration: Ability to work in tandem with engineers (Drilling Department) and field services (Drilling Support Department) to adjust models “on the fly” based on actual data (cuttings, gas readings).

We Offer

• Work in a high-tech department with an expert audit system (QA/QC).
• Participation in the full cycle of geological exploration: from design to reserve approval in the State Reserves Committee.
• Opportunity for professional growth under the guidance of experienced experts and international inspectors.
