Geological Advisor - Stratigrapher Job

HYBRID ELIGIBILITY

This position works a hybrid schedule, spending time remotely and in the office in Houston, TX. The current hybrid schedule provides flexibility to collaborate in the office Tuesdays through Thursdays and work from home Mondays and Fridays. With our 9/80 feature you get time off every other Friday when you work at least 80 hours over the preceding nine days.

POSITION SUMMARY

The position is for an Exploration Stratigrapher in the Geologic Excellence Team. Hess has an extensive acreage position in world-class assets in the Guyana-Suriname Basin, the US Gulf of Mexico, Malaysia, and the onshore US Bakken, and is actively exploring the Atlantic Margins. The position in the Geological Excellence team will support a diverse range of projects across the current portfolio and New Ventures

The role will require strong seismic interpretation skills integrated with expert-level knowledge of deep-water depositional processes. Competence with integration of geophysical, petrophysical and geologic well data is essential. Work will support multiple teams across the value proposition, thus the ability to work from basin scale, through  prospect, reservoir and pore scale is vital. The role will involve regional to sub-regional fairway and prospect level analysis, underpinning  prospect definition and risking. The ability to be pragmatic and communicate the implications for prospectivity will be highly valued. This position reports directly to the Director, Exploration Excellence and Renewal.

ROLE & RESPONSIBILITIES

• Work at multiple scales, from basin-wide regional 2D and 3D seismic interpretation to subregional, prospect, and reservoir scale, integrating petrophysical, petrological, biostratigraphic, and geochemical well data. Use this to provide context for the exploration team's geoscientists.
• Use an excellent understanding of source-to-sink, tectonostratigraphic, and sequence stratigraphic depositional systems concepts to create products such as depositional environment maps, block diagrams, and chronostratigraphic products to identify depositional fairways, provide context, and predict reservoir presence and quality on a play-to-prospect scale. Understanding of carbonate systems is advantageous.
• Working knowledge of structural and petroleum systems data types for the purpose of integration, trend identification and phenomenon explanation/prediction
• Effective project manager, strong individual contributor, and multidisciplinary team player able to work on projects across the value chain as needed.
• The role will include data room evaluations, and the ability to rapidly evaluate data, multi-task, work to tight deadlines with incomplete data, be pragmatic and produce fit for purpose products will be highly valued.
• Active participant in senior management and executive level presentations with the ability to simply convey complex technical concepts.
• Provide mentorship of colleagues/junior staff and technical leadership in stratigraphy/sedimentology
• Effective communicator with track record of written, verbal, and graphical presentation skills.  Ability to convey ideas in 3/4D. 

QUALIFICATIONS

• Minimum of 15-years’ experience
• Previous deep water exploration experience is required; passive margins experience and exposure across the value chain are strongly preferred.
• Recent experience and expertise in seismic sequence stratigraphy, tectonostratigraphy, source-to-sink analysis, subsurface mapping, well-seismic, biostratigraphic, chronostratigraphic, and petroleum systems integration.
• Regional-play-prospect evaluation skills, experience working passive and active margins, possession of relevant geological and geophysical interpretation experience. 
• Strong analytical and synthesis skills with a commitment to continued learning.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills with well-developed sharing, listening, and multidisciplinary teamwork are considered essential.
• Comfortable with aggressive timelines
• Ability to manage projects with strong focus on delivery and results.

Software Requirements

• Petrel (or equivalent)
• Paleoscan (preferred)
• ArcGIS (preferred)
• Microsoft Office

Education, Training & Certifications

• MSc or PhD of relevant discipline required.
